My Least Favorite Part of the Vet Clinic Check Up

September 6, 2022 By: Summer Samba16 Comments

Summer gets her annual vet clinic check up, and reveals what her least favorite part is.

I think it’s pretty clear where this photo was taken.

Yep, I was in the exam room of my vet clinic. It’s time for my annual check up, and my veterinarian fills out a health form for my therapy pet organization too.

The good part was getting to explore the exam room a little. And I do like my vet. Plus she said that one of the staff was checking out my TikTok prior to my visit!

But then there’s my least favorite part. No, not having my temperature taken. I managed to worm (or should I saw squirm?) my way out of that. But I couldn’t get out of being weighed. Name one person or kitty who enjoys that?

I tried to fudge it by taking one paw off the scale, but that didn’t work.

Eventually they got something close to accurate. I’m 3.21 kgs., which is a little over 7 lbs., so pretty similar to last time. All my other vitals were normal too, and the vet was very happy with my teeth. My human is pretty good about my dental health, so that made her happy. Because I am 8, she wanted blood work done, just to keep track. And I am such a good kitty that I supplied her with a stool sample to bring right before we left the house. Is that TMI?

Anyhow, I’m done until next year!

    We have that exact same scale at home, Summer! Allegra doesn’t mind getting on the first time, but since I always get three weights to make sure I didn’t catch her mid-wiggle, she gets less enthusiastic with each repeat!

    Whew! Hope you got treats. Dr. D. always treated me like a celebrity. This was the first time I was at the new place. TW passed out my cards and magnets and the staff was totally excited. I usually get out of the anal probe but I don’t know how Dr. H.H. did it but I didn’t even feel it.

    I was just sure you would say taking the temp was the least
    favorite. I’m with you on the ‘getting weighed’ part. I refuse
    to do that unless the weight is truly needed like for med dose
    figuring. I would be you are a favorite patient there.

    It’s a bit TMI, Summer, but as cat mamas and papas, we know the drill.

    It is good to get it over with for another year. No ladies like having their weight taken. I have to get on the scales every time I go to the hospital. No thick belts or heavy jeans on those days!
