Slakk and Copy's Excellent Adventure

Today I had to take part of the four legged family in to the vet for their annual check up. I try to do it in batches so it is not too expensive and not too much for me.

So I got out the cat carriers a few days ago so they would not be suspicious of them. Well okay not Slakk, because Slakk does not care about anything, Copy on the other hand is a charter member of the tin foil hat and black helicopter crowd - so any change is a big deal to him.

I made an early morning appointment so after I put down their breakfast I shut all of the doors so Copy could not go hide. I always feel bad trapping him because he is so shy but it had to be done.

Luckily he was actually semi easy this time and I only ended up with a few claw marks. Slakk was following me around so he was easy to catch but not thrilled to go in the carrier.

I did do one thing different, for te first time I tried Bach Flower Essences Rescue Remedy Spray
on my vet's recommendation on both of them.

Slakk stresses out on any car ride which of course puts his blood sugar very high and can trigger his Diabetes and Copy, well he is just Feral. So between yowls and claw marks I gave them both their dose.

What a difference.

Slakk usually yowls and screams the whole time and drools and Copy shuts down. I am not going to say they were thrilled but definitely better. The vet trip went fine, Slakk is overweight and Copy is perfect but both were in excellent health. Slakk's blood glucose was higher than at home but no where near the usual spike.

The best part was that Copy stayed out all afternoon. Usually when I have to take him to the vet he hides under the bed for at least a week. I was so happy to not have to slide food under the bed.

If you have a stressed cat or dog I highly recommend Bach Flower Essences Rescue Remedy Spray 20ml.


Oh and Sam's Birthday Gift was ordered. With his arthritis he seems to like having his food bowl up a bit. I cannot wait for it to get here I hope he likes it as much as I do. I think I still have flashbacks from when we had our old house for sale a few years ago so ANY way I can keep it looking clean I am for it.
