Zelda Goes to the Vet
July 18, 2007 on 6:42 pm | In Main |Zelda went to our vet today. She was supposed to get the last of her kitty vaccinations, but the vet thought she was sick enough that she should wait. Zelda has kitty conjunctivitis. She was given eye drops and oral antibiotic. I administered both this evening. The eye drops were no problem, but the oral medication was a different story. I was used to giving Floppy pills, but I forgot just how sharp kitty teeth are. Zelda managed to pull away from my thumb, which was holding her cheek against her teeth to prevent her from closing her mouth, and she managed to put one of her fangs right in the middle of my thumb. Boy, did that hurt. And, potentially dangerous, too. I washed the puncture wound with hydrogen peroxide and used antibiotic ointment to prevent an infection.
Zelda goes back in a couple of weeks to get her vaccination.
