Today we took Gracie to her first appointment with her new vet. I should have know things were going to be rough when I showed up to the location on their website and it was completely closed down. Turns out they moved up the street, so it wasn’t to bad.
All was good with Gracie for the most point during the drive and the first part of the visit. She did meow a bit in the car (which is to be expected), but really didn’t have much of a problem in her carrier or in the waiting room.
Once in the exam room, we were able to get her weighed (7.8 pounds!) and she was very chill. That was until it was time for her exam. I let the vet know that she is very protective of her bad eye. Once the doc tried to check it, Gracie turned very aggressive. We couldn’t even get her wrapped and she was lashing out. Of course, if someone or something poked out my eye and ripped off part of my ear, I’d get upset too.
The doctor has given me some medication to give her to calm her a bit before we go back for our follow up at the end of the month. Once we got home, as expected, Gracie first hid behind the couch and then in the basement for about an hour. Then she came back to her favorite spot for playtime!!
