.."don't even think about it !"

Inexplicably the vet was too busy to see her that day. The vet tech, quickly determining the best way to resolve the matter took over the conversation. “Do you have a turkey baster?"

Having worked at a vets, the last thing I would want to do is give a cat an enema. An angry cat has weapons all over the place, and frankly, I would think a cat getting an enema might be an angry cat.
my cat is a mean mean sob. When we took him to the vet he had to get muzzled. The vet got the muzzle on him but not before he bit through the vets heavy gloves. I love my cat but I can’t imagine anyone being capable of giving a cat an enema without sedating him or getting sent to the ER.
I remember a contraption that was like a bag with holes in it to restrain cats. They are so agile and they are just really difficult to hold onto, and forget it, they have teeth and claws. I’d much rather restrain a dog, even a big one, because you can get ahold of them.
The vet I worked for had a good way with cats and she never had us hold cats when she worked on them. I was thankful! LOL
He says, "Doc, I've got pain in my left knee. Going down stairs has started to be unpleasant. What can I do?"
The doctor says, "By any chance, do you have a cat?"
Frank says, "As a matter of fact, I do."
The doctor says, "Well, this could be an allergic reaction on your part, which is ultimately caused by a digestive problem your cat is having. I suggest you give your cat an enema, and I think you'll forget all about the pain in your knee."
After Barney Frank thanks the doctor and leaves, a nurse says, "Doctor, that was a strange recommendation. Was any of it true?"
The doctor says, "Of course not. I just hate that guy."
Ping for the list.
Funny stuff.
I don’t know much about cats, but I bet that would’ve made a great YouTube video

Barney Frank goes to an obstetrician. When the physician asks him what the problem is Barney Says, “Doc ya gotta help me. I’m pregnant!”
The physician thinks for a moment and asks Barney, “Do you know who the father is?”
“How would I know that?” Barney answers... “You think I’ve got eyes in the back of my head?”
One must be a devoted cat lover to even attempt the procedure.
Actually, it ain’t hard to work on a cat.
Large sheet. Wrap the cat. Not usually that hard to do with a cat you’re reasonably friendly with, as he doesn’t know what’s coming. Leave appropriate part sticking out.
Unwrapping the cat can be a little tricky.
This sounds like torn flesh and blood loss to me.
ME TOO! I saw a vet tech at an animal shelter take the temperature of a kitten one time and the kitten screamed and out came blood. Even so called vet techs are idiots.....to let a regular untrained person do this is insane. God, i can’t stand the ignorance.
I got the job of taking her on my day off, so off we went. While in the waiting room, I saw a guy take a large tom into the the exam room. A few minutes later, bang, bam, scream, string of language not suitable for repeating here, high pitched moans, crash, etc.
When I finally asked what happened, the tech said that the cat had taken “offense” at being examined near his “manhood” and had jumped on the Doc's neck and chest and dug in.
This cat was a good 15-20 lbs. Occupational hazard I assume, but we didn't get to see the Doc that day.
I hope they ended up neutering him though....
