Feb. 19th, 2009 04:57 pmOrlando needs his second vaccination, and since everyone except Lia is vaccination overdue, we decided to take half the gang to the vet while we were at it; Orlando, Murphy and Greedy. Greedy was picked from the outdoor cats, because she caught Timid's eye infection and unlike Timid's, hers is not clearing up on its own.
What a cirkus! Greedy went into her carrier just fine. Orlando and Murp were supposed to share one, but while Orlando went into their carrier at once, Murp knows what the cat carrier means and he'll have none of it. So out with Orlando, grab one growling, struggling and disgruntled 9 kg. Murp and stuff him in the box.
So 3 cats, 2 boxes. Murp is not sharing his box, and Greedy and Orlando don't know each other that well, plus I don't want him catching her eye ick. I make a quick decision and carry Orlando to the car, sitting with him on my lap all the way to the vet.
Once there we wait. It's open consultation day and the vets here insists that everybody use open consultation day for minor problems, check-ups and vaccinations. Aaaand it turns out that after all the hassle they're straight out of vaccines!
I do get the vet to check Greedy's eye, which is done in the usual non-thorough matter of the farm-vets, and since we've been inconvenienced, he'll come out tomorrow and vaccinate the whole bunch.
