House Call...of a Different Kind
We are very, very lucky to live in a neighborhood where our friendly vet ONLY makes housecalls.
Less overhead...easy on everyone.
So Dr. Jim came this weekend and Coco was a very brave patient as she had some growths removed from her sleek brown head, her nose and her ear (she was starting to scratch them...that's when we decided to call him in.) He had only expected to give her a heartworm shot...right there in the dining room...but quickly and easily performed a little surgery with antiseptic, needle, local anesthetic, sutures and Nurses JM and Aaron attending.
I never dreamed I'm be called to assist in small animal surgery...however minor. It was very James Herriott and very impressive.
Then Dave the Cat had to be undergo a delicate procedure involving an operating glove and his posterior. I believe Aaron left the room for that one.
Dave the Cat is now sulking.
Poor Brave Coco with her stictches! Poor grumpy Dave the Cat with his sore bum!
Sympathy for both is being showered upon them.

Poor Dave. My sympathies, and a skritch on the head for Coco, who sounds like a trooper.
My Finnegan had to go to the vet in Evanston every year and get THE BIG THERMOMETER up his rear. And then the vet would have the temerity to call him "Munchkin." It would have ravaged the poor cat's dignity, if he'd had any.
Fortunately, his vet down here doesn't have a Big Thermometer.
