I thought I would try to take Turtle to the Vet on Wednesday. I have no idea when she was there last or if Cheryl ever took her. I'm sticking with the same vet that Cheryl took all of her cats to for over 20 years. There is nothing wrong with Turtle. I thought may be just a check up would be okay.
Is this even a good idea? Is it too soon? She still has a few adjustments to make and I don't want to freak her out. I don't want to destroy the trust that I waited so long to get.
Okay, if you all vote that it's a good idea then my questions wold be as followed:
.1. What questions should I ask the vet?
2. What will I be expected to know?
3. Should I take some Turtle poop with me?
4. And how in the H**** do I get her into the carrier?
5. Should I leave the carrier out where she can see it a couple days before?
6. Should I douse it with Feliway first?
7. I want the vet to look at her teeth--can she do that? I won't need to go to a kitty cat dentist, will I?
The trip is only a 6 minute drive from my house, but I know that a short trip won't mean anything to her. I don't want to traumatize her.
Let me know what you all think. I could easily talk myself out of this. Since I'm a first-time mommy over here I'm a little anxious, but I will I will absolutely take the advice of the wise ones--i.e. all of you.
Thanks
