I adopted Gypsy six months ago from a rescue organization. She is my first cat, so I'm still figuring her out. She is super sweet, but terribly shy. I made an appointment for her to get a checkup because she's been scratching herself a lot lately and I noticed one of her canine teeth is missing. (Her gum isn't inflamed, so she probably lost it a long time ago, but I want it checked.)
I tried taking her in last week, but getting her in the carrier was a nightmare! When I finally forced her into the carrier, she sprayed and peed all over it. (She has never had an accident before, so it took me a minute to figure out what had happened!) I felt horrible, and couldn't take her to the vet that way! I let her out and cancelled the appointment.
She really needs a check up by January when her shots are due. Any suggestions??? Also, if she reacts the same way next time, do I just take her in all covered in pee?
