Just a couple days ago we took our cats to the vet. We found a nice veterinary clinic here in Corvallis. They were a bit nervous going in because we put them in their pet carrier (which they don't like so much any more after our trip to and from La Grande). Everyone at the clinic told us that they were adorable, and they really are.
The vet weighed them and it turns out Bert weighs 6lbs. 5oz. And Ernie weighs only 5lbs. We are not sure why because Ernie always seems to be the pig. The vet also took their temperature and they did not like that (it was done the old fashion way).
The vet took them to get blood samples and to help them relax she gave them cheesewiz. Who would of thought that cats love cheesewiz. They taught us how to trim cats nails (I bet mom wishes we had learned before we went to La Grande with them). They got their shots and we'll be going back for boosters soon. They also gave them some flea medicine which is really helping. That night I saw the fleas dropping like flies off the kitties. I kept picking them up and flushing them down the toliet.
The grossest part of all of this is that the doctor asked us to get a fecal sample. Luckily they went poop right as we got home and I just had to scoop it up. It smelled really bad and the thought of having kitty poop in a couple viles on the dash as I drove back to the vet was gross.
So $600 dollars later (we paid for all their shots and visits and everything up front) our kitties are healthy and doing fine.
