Ferris gave up instead, and I was able to catch him and crate him for a vet visit.
I was still sweating at the vet's - I must have chased Ferris through the house three times, under two beds before he got himself cornered on the kitchen counter, and then he was MINE! Ha-HAAAA!!!
Ferris seems to enjoy the sound of his yowling when it is amplified by my back hallway.
My poor boy. He yelled at me the entire way to the truck, then again all the way back up into the apartment, but was silent through the drive and the office visit. He had a simple blood test done, we should know the results by end of day. We are looking for anemia, or the absence of it.
I hope he's ok!
Ginger was easy-peasy, as per usual, though she trembled through her exam. She's fine, 8.6 pounds, a very healthy little 2 year old.
My vet is hard of hearing, and obviously never heard of Raw Instinct - he thought I was feeding them all raw, and was giving me horrified looks - it was funny. He's a holistic vet and sells frozen raw, but couldn't understand why I would make a switch to raw.
He now thinks that I feed only kibble, because he didn't let me finish telling him what foods they were eating - whatever, I'm ok with that.
He also told me that he will try to get a waiver from the city regarding rabies shots in the future for Ginger - I think he'd given her the 3-year last year, and that is the one she reacted to, so I think we are still ok with that.
He told me that if the city won't give a waiver, that he can't treat her anymore, as he would be liable for not giving her the shot.
I think that Ginger is going to wind up not seeing a vet regularly in the future. That kind of bums me out. If she doesn't get a waiver, no one can treat her without giving her the shot if she isn't up to date...and that could kill her.
Well, she is very, very healthy right now, and so I guess I'll just keep an eye on her, and hope for the best.
I will keep my fingers crossed that the city grants the waiver!
And that Ferris does NOT have anemia!
