I am a big advocate of treating animals as if they are intelligent because I believe they are, and that they understand a lot more than we credit them with. <BR/><BR/>But I have never had a cat who took medicine willingly. It takes two of us to clip Truffle's claws, and if medicine can't be hidden in food, she never cooperates.<BR/><BR/>Next time, I intend to tell her about Betsy.heartinsanfranciscohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07535397382991383931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30306964.post-75682376473437180682007-02-28T13:39:00.000-08:002007-02-28T13:39:00.000-08:00Okay, "the turd and the herd?"

I had a disagreement with the first over a stool sample. He wanted one to check for worms, but the rude bastard didn't offer to buy me dinner first. By the second visit, I had a big red flag on my records that read "CAUTION BITES". The final incident involved a muzzle over my head while I spun around in backwards circle until I fell off the exam table and cornered the vet, two assistants and bit Mister Hombre.....I guess I' just don't play well with others, but whisper away.jadedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12326141253899975708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30306964.post-54631672699971382052007-02-26T14:15:00.000-08:002007-02-26T14:15:00.000-08:00You're a genius.

Because people can't bring their cows or horses to the office, they do HOUSE CALLS!! For the cost of ONE office visit, they come to my house and treat ALL FOUR of my cats at once! Usually, it takes me two trips (I can't manage all four cats in the car at once) so I end up paying two office visits AND I have to listen to them scream, holler and puke for the half hour it takes to get to the vet. I love that they'll come to me....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30306964.post-42970672864395956052007-02-26T14:00:00.000-08:002007-02-26T14:00:00.000-08:00I found out about this method with boy #2- since h...I found out about this method with boy #2- since he was 2 he has taken medicine if you let him control it!<BR/><BR/>Doesn't work with my dog though!
