Yesterday I had my first yearly wellness check up with Dr. D. Last year when I was trapped, neutered and vaccinated, I tested positive for FIV at a different vet clinic. The servants decided to take me to Dr. D this time because of the wonderful care she gave to Cal. Dr. D is wonderful! First she gently stole my blood and retested me for FIV, unfortunately I still came up positive. The good news is I am "healthy as a horse!" Dr. D did say that I could have been vaccinated against FIV previously, which would cause a false positive. I weighed in at 14.5lbs and my heart and lungs sound great. By the looks of my teeth she estimated my age to be around 3-4 years. I guess that sounds about right. I received a three year rabies and three year distemper. Haha, all the other kitties in this house have to get their vaccinations every year.....how lucky am I! Yeah so I have FIV, other than that I'm in great health. I just have to go back next year for a wellness examination.
P.S. I really don't care much for the PTU or the metal machine on wheels! Gotta few bloody nails from that experience. I did, however, love the vet's office! I was able to roam around and investigate as I waited for the Dr. The lady kept pulling me out of the sink.
The servant lady was only able to get a couple of shots of me while we were waiting for Dr.D. The man servant said she was embarrassing him with the flashy box.
