Yesterday was Reiko’s follow-up Vet appointment. You may remember that the appointment a few weeks ago got canceled because the little bundle of trauma (as Monika so aptly described her) was judged too upset to get her vaccination injections.
The Vet gave me a prescription for 2 Xanax tablets with the instructions to give Miss R ½ tab an hour before the appointment. I did that and as usual, the medicine had no measurable impact on the pooch. I swear that little dog is immune to sedatives. Nevertheless, I got her into her carry crate and deposited la doggo at the animal hospital.
I dropped her off at 7AM and they said they’d call when she was done. Okey doke, so off to the gym.
About 9 I got a call to come pick her up. I asked how she did and I was pleased to hear that her overall health was quite good, no problems to report. How did she behave? Well, according to the vet tech, she was uncooperative and reportedly “kangaroo’d at the end of the exam table and tried to leap off multiple times.”
The vet tech said they did not do as complete an exam as usual because the Monster Mauzer had to be “held down by several techs.” Mind you, this is a 12-14 pound dog not a Tibetan mastiff.
Reiko was quite happy to see the animal hospital in the rear-view mirror. I released her at home and she strolled into the house calmly, sporting an air of indignation. The treat I offered was accepted, but not graciously.
With the vaccinations completed we can now license the pup and she will again be street legal although she never is on the street.
Love to hear from ya
