She wasn't as relaxed in the vets as she usually is...didn't see her usual vet....she was a bit miffed to be kept waiting but she got a bit of chicken when she go home...got to go again next week..but I think it will be a nurse...then for the following 2 weeks

Its funny how they can be totally relaxed with some vets & not with others, especially when all the vets are doing all those "nasty" things to them. Bet she enjoyed her chicken. Quite often the vet nurses can do things a lot easier than the vets - in our case Penny's claws - they seem to have more time & often take the cat away from the stressful consulting room (& owner!) which seems to calm them.

That's what I had with Panter. Only one vet would see her. When it was my turn, I had to wait till that vet was free. The others found her unmanageable. They were afraid of her and Panter felt that. She even liked "her" vet and nuzzled up against him. Now they are not happy with Misty, but don't refuse to treat her.

Tia had an ASBO ANTI SOCIAL BEHAVIOUR ORDER at the vet's and only the male vet wasn't frightened of her and she behaved for him. The other vets were terrorised!

I once had a cat called Willow and he had been a stray - he got left behind when his owners moved! I took him to the vets and he jumped off the examining table and the vet couldn't catch him! It was so funny, he was trying to throw a coat over Willow. When I went back to collect Willow in the afternoon he was in his cat carrier soaking wet (he had peed and they left him in it) and with a sticker on the top stating 'WILD'!

vet sent me a copy of Mary's insurance document and her updated medical history from last week... bit worried about the bit that says "possibly some muscle loss to back legs"...also the blood tests she had done results are...folate..low cosistent with proximal SI disease/malasorption..and cobalamin low..(distalSI disease/malasorption) all sounds complicated to me.

The SI bit stands for small intestine & the proximal & distal refer to which parts (not that knowledgeable just goggled it! )
At least you've got all the documentation now but sometimes I think we mere pet owners can get really worried about the veterinary terms written in the vets records as we don't know what they mean, even if they aren't necessarily something to be worried about, as they are originally written for the trained vets who can interpret them sensibly. It also applies to humans & doctors records!
