Momo and MiaoMiao to the vet

Miaomiao and Momo while in the cab

In the vet's room,

we wasn't able to get Miaomiao out (as usual).

We even had to disassemble the top of the carrier,

just to get her out.

Momo trying to look fierce to scare people (At the vet)

Miaomiao says she can't wait to see the vet! (Like real)

Momo was given the checkup first

While Momo was being checked,

I had the privilege of carrying Miss Miaomiao in my arms

for like 10 minutes,

while she held on to me with all her might.

This is something rather rare,

which happens only at the vet

Momo's weight is now 1.9kg,

Miaomiao's weight is 3.2kg

Which meant we were carrying out of our house,

a 5kg load until we got a cab

Lucky Pepper didn't come,

or it would have been double of that.

We asked about Momo's protruding anus,

which turned out to be a problem of "anal gland expression"

Since Momo has come to our house,

I realise that every time we take him to the vet,

I learn a new cat disease terminology

Anyway in short

the anal sacs near his anus

are full with some smelly fluids

And so the vet has expressed his anal glands

by poking a gloved hand into his butt

and squeezing somewhere in there

and her gloved hand came out with a lot of brown liquid.

And we also learnt another disease terminology:

"*********** ****************"

The word was so long that I couldn't catch half of it

But in simpler terms there was some blood parasite in Momo,

(common in stray cats)

which was probably killed off 

by the antibiotics he was prescribed for cat flu

But his gums are now pale pink,

probably because of the after effects of the blood parasites

and so he needs to be put on nutrition support

And may I mention

that I was happily carrying Miaomiao in my arms 

during the check-up

And then it was time for his deworming and vaccination

and I was seriously afraid that

he would bite the assistant or something

And one thing:

The vet kept thinking Momo was a girl,

because of his pink collar

Finally it was over for Momo

Next coming up was Miaomiao,

and I placed her on the vet's table.

Then she kept her body as close to the table as possible,

probably hoping that no one will touch her

The moment the vet touched her,

she started growling and growling

She's lucky the people at this vet clinic

are nicer than the other one

Despite her consistent growling

the assistant continued consoling her very gently

But of course she didn't bite or scratch anyone

As the vet said:

"She only big action only lah"

She just likes to scare everyone else,

but in fact she is just a timid little MiaoMiao :)
