Megs rescue, final step
The vet visit: Megs complained in the car until she escaped from her carrier—I discovered a zipper partially open on the front opening. Once she was free in the car, she stopped complaining and just explored things with great interest. Once we got to the vet, I put her back in the carrier and she went willingly enough.
A fifteen minute visit—$200. They gave her a rabies shot, took a blood draw for a blood panel (because she’s 7, after all), clipped her nails at my request, and told me that I could re-apply the Advantage (to kill fleas) in 3 weeks instead of waiting for 4. (I don’t think that last application was well applied and probably did not get on her skin.)
She was totally quiet coming home—depressed about the shot, I imagine—and quickly left the carrier as soon as I opened the top.
