Default Vetenarian 'killer'

Sorry for the crossposts. I just now checked out the cat groups but didn't
really see which one would be best, nor how much overlap there is.

My 15-year old, Sadie Bugbane, was abused on her first trip to the vet, and
since then it is almost worth the vet's life to take her in the doc.

She is small and the squeeze net is ineffective and a vet and helpers are
sure to get slashed if they really try to do their job.

Obviously, if she had a major problem her life would be in danger, her
frantic, ferocious efforts to defend herself could only aggravate the
injury/illness.

BTW, she is absolutely gentle at all other times, except with other cats.

So, the problem and question I pose, is there some way to alleviate the
problem, to sedate her,as it were, before trying to get her to the vet?

Or ... ?

A complication is that she is a wrggler under the best circumstances, it
being perhaps just ten percent of the time that she doesn't object - with
gentle wriggles - to being picked up.

Please help me out here, and realize that I haven't even slightly
exaggerated the problem.

Why in Crawford do my fingers never want to type 'veterinarian'?

We have had a lot of luck with the squeeze cage for Bear -- he also
can't be touched at the vet's office, and it's really helpful when he's
had a serious illness.

No, we've used that (the squeeze net) but the squeeze cage is like a
regular small-animal cage or bird cage, and is just a tad larger than
the cat - if you slide it up to the cat carrier and open the doors of
both of them, you can get the cat into the squeeze cage. Then, after
he's inside, one side of the squeeze cage can be slided in, so that the
cat is in a cage that fits him completely and he can't lie down, or move
his head or legs to bite or scratch, and it has little doors on the
sides, like a bird cage would, so the vet can put his hand in to feel
the cat, or can give him shots, etc. My vet got one at a vet trade
show - he saw it and thought it would be perfect for very aggressive
kitties.

So, what we really have here (at my vet) is a poorly equipped clinic.

no squeeze cage (would have to see to believe its hard edges wouldn't harm
Sadie)

no sedative spray.
