Grrr

My coworkers are so helpful...so late. Sigh. I've been asking around all week for vets and no one says a word. So naturally today when I'm talking about Roy they're like why didn't you use the one here near the school and then proceeds to tell me that the one I chose is the most expensive around and that she's not well liked (thanks guys. I did say I was taking the cat there. That would have been nice to know earlier)

To be honest I was singularly unimpressed with the office. it was cramped and shack-like as I mentioned. So I did call the vet that they belatedly suggested and it was cheaper signficiantly. Naturally. So I call up to cancel his neutering and they did it yesterday! It was all I could do to not lose my temper. That cat was in no way in shape to withstand anesthesia yesterday. Yes he needed to go under to have his wounds treated but there was no reason not to get a day or two of antibiotics in him first. I'm livid. As far as I'm concerned Roy's health was compromised. (what did they think I'd come to my senses about the price and say forget it?)

I said I'll be there to collect him on monday (at least I'll save a little on boarding) I don't trust his condition to bring him home now. I'll switch to the vet down here since everyone loves her. Sigh.

It seems that people tend to do that after the fact BS.

And they neutered him before letting his wounds heal? Dear lord, wasn't he sick? Even an idiot like me knows you don't operate on anything that's alive when it's sick. o.o Definitely don't go back there. Apparantly, they're in it for the money, not the well-being of the animal.

he was exceedingly sick and feverish. I know she was going to put h im under only once to do his face and his nuts but damn it, that could have waited until monday like we agreed on

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yeah it's like thanks...well at least NOW I know and I won't be going back

[chaos-by-design.livejournal.com]

Poor little guy. I hope he recovers well in spite of the idiotic vet.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

so do I

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Well, you know it's way easier to criticize after the fact than to actually TELL you anything.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yeah apaprently

Holy crap - Sorry about all that and please keep us posted

*kicks your co-workers in the behind*

I will. I need to go buy the little monster a litter box so he can come home on monday (provided he's still not drooling fluids. If he is I'll suck it up and leave him there for a few extra days)

For the litter box part, may I suggest:
http://www.amazon.com/Dome-Cleanstep-Cat-Box-Iris/dp/B0002DH8LE

(comes in this iris color, but also pearl and titanium) Star has one of these and she loves it. the litter area in the interior is nice and deep and bigger than most traditional boxes, but it is nice looking, and private. People don't look at it and immediately go Ew... litter box. haha.. but the most important thing is that the steps out of the box keep litter from being tracked as much, and you can just stick the vacuum hose into the steps and suck up the strays on the steps before they accumulate enough to be tracked much. Star loves it and I love it too. Mine is light brown. That Iris one though... matches my living room.. I might go get one.

oh cool. thanks neat...that's big.

[ishte.livejournal.com]

It seems big, but I don't know that it really uses up much more real estate than a standard box... a bit wider I guess... but it's more discrete which I like, and the cat likes haha And with the dome and all, heck you can even drape a little round table cloth over it to make it match your room even better. Just tuck up the edge around the entrance. ^_^ Booda also makes a plain dome, which is the same circumference I think.. but it's not as nice.. nothing to prevent tracking.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

after Iktomi I'm all about the dome. That fat jerk used to just go in his box and make zen rock gardens. Wouldn't crap. Wouldn't pee. Just shove litter around and preferrably OUT of the box

[ishte.livejournal.com]

Hahaha! Well... now if you think Roy's the reincarnation of Iktomi, I think you'd better go with that then.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

you're probably right

[the-penumbra.livejournal.com]

Honestly, some people are *bleep bleep bleep*! Hope poor Roy is better :)(though everytime you mention the cat, I still keep picturing Roy Mustang... I know, sick lol)

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

well that's who Roy is named for. His vet folder reads Roy Mustang Evans (Giggle). He's has black 'hair' with white gloves so Roy it is

I'll see him on monday so I hope he's better
