A Trip To The Vet

01.06.2005 - Its a Friday finally I was off from work, and the plan today is get Riker to the vet. Of course I won't have a pet carrier with. So I have to get it somewhere in Makati. Cheryl Beluan of Cat-Zilla referred me to someone, who orders these carriers by the bulk from the US. When I went there during lunch hour to pick it up, I didn't know how sturdier it was compared to the Pet Voyegeur.



Well with the help of my best buddy Vince we set-up off to go to Animal House. This is the very first time since Riker was adopted to be out of the house. He was crying very loud during the travel. We almost got lost when the jeepney we took a different route. We mistakenly got off and thought Dog City WAS the Animal House. So we took a walk back and trace the location along the way Riker was meowing loudly. I have to cover the top of the carrier, since it had a steel grill opening much different from the voyageur I gave to Catseyes.



We got to the vet and waited for a few minutes. I'm pretty much familiar with Animal House, and been seeing it quite a few times. I never thought I'll bringing in a pet there. Inside the vet is also a store for your pet needs. When the doctor called me in to bring Riker there where lose dogs. To my suprise while being accompanied by a nurse to weight Riker in the scale a huge Siberian Husky was staring down on me.



He was very quiet once we stepped in Animal House up to the time Doctor Lee examined Riker on a steel table. His weight was 8 Lbs. pretty heavy for a cat who eats and sleeps a lot. Even the nurse said that he never saw a cat this big, and thought he was a year older. Though the travel to the vet was tiring it was yet rewarding, and I have to bring him back again on January 27th for more shots. On the side note the name of the event happening this coming Suunday is the 3rd & 4th EGCA/PUSA International All-Breed Championship Cat Show to be held on January 8, 2006 at the 4th level Galleria Trade Hall (formerly Limits Disco), Robinsons Galleria.

Going back to the story we got home safe and sound. It may cost me PhP 1,040.00 for all his medical needs, but Riker will do just fine. Riker was a bit shaken, and doesn't want to get close to me hiding again at the back of the washing machine. For now he has official papers to back me up in bringing him at the event this coming Sunday. Lei will have his vaccine shots next month hopefully Catseyes will accompany me to bringing the wild one to the vet.
