Cocoa gave me a scare today and we headed to the vets to have her checked out.
Something gave her a scratch ,,a squirrel, a raccoon ,a rabbit or maybe another cat just not sure what.
She wouldn't even let me touch her and just cried every time I tried.
Our regular vet is out of the country till Nov 5th so we went to a new vet. The vet was lovely and very calming.
They shaved a bit of cocoa's fur down and we could see the the wound. The vet asked if she was up to date on all her shot and I gave her cocoa's file.
Come to find out she never got a feline leukemia shot. I was very upset about that ,,our vet knows she is an outdoor cat. So they tested her blood and said she is all clear and then gave her a shot ,,,she goes back in 4 weeks for a booster.
I think I am switching vets.
The clinic experience was so much better than I've ever experienced. The fees were very competitive too.
She came home and hid under my sons bed for 3 hours till i finally enticed her out with a temptations lick able. We just applied some antibiotic cream and she seems fine now,, other than a bit traumatized.
I on the other hand need a stiff cup of coffee.

Amazing how they take such a big space in your heart in no time at all.
Thanks for letting me ramble on.
