The Most Hated Week of the Year

August 26, 2011 By: Sparkle Cat47 Comments

I did not ask to come here!!!

This awful week is called “Take Your Cat to the Vet Week,” and I hate it! Especially because I had to go to the vet twice! Can you believe my human took me to the emergency vet on Sunday just because I had diarrhea? They could not find anything really wrong with me, so they gave me B12 shot. Then I had to sit next to some stinky dog while my human paid the bill. I was in my carrier, but still.

Did no one tell these people I am a MAC kitty? I do not do Windows.

Then I had to go to my regular vet because the diarrhea did not clear up after a couple of days. That vet gave me some awful tasting liquid to take. I am being tortured.

Metronidazole? Do NOT want!

My human really wanted to go to BlogPaws, but instead she has to stay home and wrap me up in a towel to get this awful stuff down my throat.

This “Take Your Cat to the Vet Week” deal was created because supposedly cats do not get checkups as often as they should. But you would not know that around here!

    TW was sad that she didn’t get to meet your human. Word around Blogpaws was that you were very sick. I hope you are feeling better. When I needed meds, they made them tuna flavored—but it was an awful tuna flavor.

    Sparkle, darling, you need me to come down the I-5 and have a “discussion” with your Human about putting AWFUL stuff down your throat AND about discussing your personal and private bodily functions for all the world to hear.

    I can be there in about 6 hours.

    I hope you feel better. Diarhea sounds just awful!! Sorry about the 2 vet visits.

    I go every March to get my check up and then later in the month or April I have to get my teeth cleaned 🙁 Luckily I have not had to go for anything else(except that time the neutered me!)

    Miss Sparkle, that really stinks! My brother Zachary used to get B12 shots when he was feeling poorly – they really seemed to perk him up. We ALL hope you are feeling better very soon! And it serves your human right to have to miss BlogPaws – if you’re being tortured, she should suffer, too.

    Your friend, Fuzzy

    Oh no, that’s terrible! BlogPaws looks like such an exciting event as well. If it’s any consolation, we won’t be going either. Just a tad too far away for us UK folk. Hope you’re feeling better, Sparkle! Hopefully, this will be the last vet visit for a while!

    I am sorry you are not feeling well Sparkle and hope you feel better soon. Here the vet is soooooo far away we wait for the traveling clinic that comes through once a year and all of the Farm cats get their shots and a check up. The male person is less than happy to be hauling 4 Farm cats at once in his truck.

    Oh, Sparkle, I’m so sorry your mom took you to the vet — twice, even. Hopefully you’ll feel better soon and get back to the important things in life: chasing small creatures, snubbing your food and waking people up before theya re ready to get out of bed.

    Or maybe that’s just my cats 🙂

    We are sorry you have had to go to the vet TWICE Sparkle – we hope you are feeling better soon. The trouble is when we see a carrier we try to hide and only sigh with relief if we are left behind!! Of course if we see two carriers we know for certain we are DOOMED.

    Sparkle, so sorry to hear that you had to go to the VET, not once, but twice. Tell you human that
    Since I am a Somali too, and you and I look like twins, I can tell you that Somali’s tummies are very sensitive to beef. I read your blog every day, so I’m pretty sure that you human doesn’t feed you beef, but just thought I’d pass that on. If I eat beef, the same thing happens to me. Lot’s of veterinarian’s don’t know that because they don’t see many of us Somali’s.
    Hope you are better.

    Poor Sparkle! Taking medicine is no fun at all–stressful for you and your owner, I’m sure. You have a very good mom so don’t give her such a hard time about taking the medicine that will make you better! Wonder what caused that.

    Oh Sparkle, we are so sorry you are puny. That sure doesn’t sound like fun at all. You look just stunning on that towel. We are sending tons and tons of purrs that you get better really soon. Sorry Mom couldn’t go to Blog Paws but you are much more important that that. Take care and feel better.

    We take our pets to the vet twice a year for general check ups and the usual shots. There is no specific week for it, but it’s stressful anyway.
    Feel better soon, Sparkle!
