Today we got an early start as we took Gracie back to vet so she could get a complete physical. I put her first dose of anti-anxiety meds into her dinner last night and gave her her second dose early this morning. It took a few times, but I’m glad she really likes tuna!! (That’s gonna be her new treat!!)
The good news is the meds, along with an anti-anxiety spray added to her carrier worked!! She was very calm as Dr. Polo was able to give her a complete exam, and the news was good. Physically she is in really great shape! Dr. Polo did recommend that I take her to see a Veterinary Ophthalmologist, which I will do later this summer.
The only bad news, which I expected, is that Gracie has a mild case of PTSD. Of course, if someone ripped off part of my ear and poked out my eye I would too. But even here is good news because I don’t have to give her anxiety meds unless she is traveling (and what cat doesn’t need them then!!). The most important thing Gracie can have is just good old TLC. And I plan to give it to her!
