Wow, what a busy day. Just some quick highlights before bed. Mike there at 7:30 to start the day. He got busy with a cat neuter while I finished taking the bandages off two declaw cats. Oliver was perfect. A lovely silver shaded Persian cat whose long hair caught all the shredded paper the declaw cats have to use for a week. The other cat, Mittens, was not nearly so cooperative and I had to call on Megan to help me. We used to have the owners take the bandages off their cats but there were too many that the cats would not let do it!
Little Yoda, a chihuahua, growled at me when I walked in but he's really a sweetie. When he was a small puppy a sibling dog snapped at him and bit off a toe! Jen had to stitch it up but it looks great now. Yoda was here to be neutered.
Boxer, the neuter cat, was very nervous but Mike was able to sedate him on his own. The other cat, Tigger, was a spay. But she lives in a house with leukemia positive cats so we kept her in her crate in the barn until surgery. After she was done, and recovering in her crate, I had to seriously disinfect all surfaces. Later today she was picked up and two of her kittens left to be spayed tomorrow. More disinfecting...
Weather is warming up so lots of phone calls, appointments, people needing things. Finished mopping and washing instruments at 5:30. I'll be back tomorrow at 7 and will sterilize them then.
Took a picture of Max sunning himself outside. His owner, a travel agent, is taking a group to the Panama Canal. He appreciates pictures and emails from Max and sends him mail too!
This really tells you nothing about how busy it was. You'll have to take my word for it.
