Yorkshire Vets

Well, we’ve been back again, and thankfully there’s no drama to tell. No, this was merely a check up –Milly had evidently gotten into some kind of mischief as the other day she came in with a wee scratch on her back paw. Since it was still giving her a bit of jip a few days later I decided to nip her over to the vet just to check it was healing well, and pick up her favourite (or not so favourite) worming and flea treatments whilst we were there.
Of course, despite the three minute journey, she cried all the way there. But as soon as we sat in the waiting room, calm descended. After about 10 minutes, and a warm welcome from the receptionists, we had our appointment. The vet was just so lovely and friendly –I had a lot of questions, as Milly had put on a bit of weight and I was concerned, and everything was answered to put my mind at ease.
Her weight, heart rate and all the other regular bits were checked. We snipped her claws back, as I’m too afraid to do it myself, and we checked the aforementioned paw. Everything is healing fine, I’m glad to say, so she’s fighting fit. It was fantastic to take her in and know that everything is dandy, and have such a friendly vet talk through everything I should look out for-​essentially, I know a few Doctors who could use some lessons in bedside manner from this lady, she was that lovely!
We had a minor incident returning to the reception, given that a humungous and nervy Rottweiler had a bit of a bark as we came back through, which unfortunately resulted in Milly producing a rather large and pungent accident in her box. I wasn’t sure about the protocal, but mentioned it to the receptionists when I realised, and quick as lightening one of them got up to take her and get her cleaned up! I was so impressed and grateful, especially since I’d be taking her home in a taxi as I don’t drive. After five minutes she came back with Milly, her blankets bagged up, and having hosed her down. Amazing! I was just so delighted that they could do that for me.
All in all, I’m really lucky to have such a fabulous Vet near by for my cat, and it’s pleasure to have to take her in! As for Milly, she’s already settled down on my clean pile of washing, so clearly hasn’t been traumatised one bit… Hooray!
