Cat health checkup
Afternoon all! I am feeling so much better today. In fact, this anxiety feeling kind of dissipated on its own after a few hours.
We brought Mikey to the vet at Mount Pleasant Animal Hospital (Springleaf) this afternoon. He always gets stressed and meows very loud when we bring him outside and put him in the pet carrier. He knows where he is being brought to.
We got him vaccinated, dewormed (they gave me the deworming pill) and checked. As I said in my last post, I don’t vaccinate my indoor cat every year. His last booster shot was over 3 years ago when he was still a kitten. The vet briefly examined him. Aside from his bald patch at the thigh area (due to his on and off excessive licking), everything else was fine. She gave me some pills that are to be given to my cat only when he licks himself excessively. Excessive licking is usually due to itchiness.
I also asked for an Elizabethan collar. I’ve never used this on him before, so decided to test it. Mikey was super irritated!!! — If I were him, I would have been too! He does look cute in it though, doesn’t he? :) Cute but very unhappy!
* Excuse the vacuum stick and the pile of clothes :D I was in the midst of my cleaning session hehe. *
Poor him … he was knocking against everything in order to get rid of the collar … It was on him for just 5 minutes. I hope I won’t need to use this collar in the future!

Yesterday night: Mikey grooming himself after a nice bath (which happens once in a blue moon). He will lick himself a million times so that he can be in the dry state again. Cats hate water. Mine does, not sure about other cats.
