Dylan’s First Visit to the V-E-T!

At least with us! When Dylan was a kitten, he went to the vet in Altamonte, but since he has been with us, he had not been! The other week, an appointment was made at the Baldwin Park Animal Clinic for our little one, to get his rabis shot and etc. He was not happy to be in his (pink) carrier for so long. :/

But, we are happy to report that Dylan was a great patient. He didn’t have to be sedated like the previous cat just to get out of his carrier! OMG, if our cat was like that, I’d be sad! He got pooped for a sample, some shots, and blood work done (his results said he’s healthy!). The “nurse” who clipped his claws said he hid his nails very well. I suppose that’s almost a compliment! We were given medicine to make him feel better after his shots, which were difficult to get into his wee mouth. We were also given ear medicine because his ears were dirty, but we gave that up after two applications. It kept irritating him, and he did not look good. Poor Dylan. He did not like being held and put into submission so people could stick things in random places, but he did well and reacted better than we thought he would. Also, Dylly has a big “turkey butt” now. He weighs over 5 lbs, more than half his original cute kitten weight!!!

The next week, Billy and I went back to pick up some Advantage Multi because we both saw some bug on Dylan. Just o make sure, we got a few month’s worth, and Mrs. Riggins and Billy put it on the poor baby. He still scratches sometimes. That drives me crazy. I strongly dislike fleas!
