I got a call yesterday around noon time, telling me that Abby wasn't getting a dental and that she was scheduled now to get one tomorrow (aka today)
I am not happy about this because she is so incredibly high stress, and being transported back and forth just freaks her out and drives her glucose through the roof. The shelter was confused about when I was coming to pick her up (if it was anyone other than Abby I would have just left her there) and they put her in a cage, and getting her out of the cage freaked her out.. broke my heart.
Fortunately when I got her home she came right out of the carrier and jumped right back up on the couch, and that evening her glucose levels were pretty freakin good and she seemed a lot calmer than she has in a while... there is something to stressing a cat out and then bringing them back to safety. I do it with kittens all the time, but the terror you can see roll off Abby would make you not want to do it either..
Apparently she does have some pretty bad teeth so this is very necessary, but I am so not looking forward to getting her back in that carrier and putting her through this again. I am just going to hold onto the hope that by doing this we can get her regulated and even into remission which will make her much more adoptable.
Oh sweet Abby, we hope you don't stress out too much about these much needed trips to the vet. Hugs.

Poor Abby. I am sending so many purrs her way!
ReplyDeletePoor Abby ! Purrs
ReplyDeleteOh, no, not another vet trip. We're purring that the dental is soon and that it helps.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry Abby has to go through the stress of going back to the vet. I can only imagine how stressful it is for you to see her like that. I hope everything goes (reasonably) well. Poor sweet girl.
ReplyDeleteMY Admiral was extraordinarily high stress little girl and it was heartbreaking EVERY time to get her ti the Vet, She had to go frequently as she was sick the last year of her life. But she was always that way. It was as stressful on me and I swear took a year off my life I suffered so much causing her fear like that just by going to the Vet.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry. I was going to say I hope to goodness her dental is done with no more of this terrible fear she is experiencing. Bless her precious heart, And yours.
ReplyDeletePoor sweetie, we are all sending purrs and prayers to you Abby.
ReplyDeletePoor Abby and you....we hope she does well today and is home safe quickly
ReplyDeletefingers a paws crossed for Abby,xx Rachel and Speedy
ReplyDeleteSending comforting purrs to Abby and paws crossed that she gets through the visit okay. Thank you for your kind words last week over our loss of Maxx. They were and still are very much appreciated and are working magic toward healing our hearts.
ReplyDeleteHoping everything goes uneventfully with her dental.

ReplyDeleteWe hope all went well for Abby today.
ReplyDeleteSorry for the added stress. I hope the dental went well.
ReplyDeleteI guess a trip to the vet is as bad as a trip to the doctor for humans
ReplyDeleteI feel so sorry for Abby. Stress is no good for cats.
