09Oct24: Andy sees the veterinarian..

My stoic little kitty!

Andy’s a wee bit restless now, so I begin massaging his arm, a happy thing for Andy!

I know: he doesn’t look happy!

I know he needs more calming now.

Aw! Rubbing the face!

And the neck!

Can’t get too much of that.

Yes! Yes! Yes!

Finally, Andy’s “kitty sense” tells him…

…someone’s coming through that door.

Apprehension?

Dr. Sylvia Olejnik comes through that door and gently removes my kitty from the carrier.

Andy’s being surprisingly calm about being handled…

…by unfamiliar hands.

Dr. Olejnik is substituting for Andy’s regular veterinarian,  Dr. Ylander, who, says Dr. Olejnik, is on vacation.

She’s brand new to the practice, and Andy and I are impressed with her competent handling of her patient!

Dr. Olejnik gently placed Andy back into his carrier after tests are done. During his visit this time, Andy had tests done for a variety of conditions specific to kitties his age and to his  medical history. Dr. Olejnik is giving me a call to let me know the results.

It required a little of this-and-that to keep Andy in the carrier, though he soon calms down for the ride home.

    • I was pleased he is in such good shape! He actually is pretty goid about trips, even if he puts up a kettle resistance getting placed into the carrier. At the veterinarian’s, he is calm on the examination table and puts uo with the veterinarian’s probing and sticking like a big boy! He does hate blood pressure taking. They told me they have a new system that doesn’t necessitate trimming hair off the foot or tail to apply the cuff. That was part of what upset Andy the most, then the cuff topped it all!

  1. Good Andy, you didn’t make the things hard… I hope and wish your result to be fine. You know we love you All, Thank you dear Doug, Love, nia
