Yesterday the poor bugger had his throat shaved and blood taken from
the
jugular for the 2nd time in 6 months. The sample is also enroute to
Australia via Fedex.

Yikes! I guess it's easier from the neck than the paw, huh? Still,
scritches for poor Vino.

Vino is so easy going, he barely noticed.

Vino is such a good boy. Rusty struggled hard when they tried to draw blood
from
the jugular. 2 weeks ago you could hear him complained loudly all through
the vet clinic when they drew blood. Rusty is usually a very quiet cat. So
you know he really hates it.
The first time TED tried to draw blood years ago, he had to give up. 3 of
us holding
Rusty down at the time. TED said if Rusty could fight like that, he
couldn't be that sick.
But these days they need to draw blood for a geriatric profile fairly
regularly.
