Every time Jacob goes in for his CRF workups, the vets get a urine sample from him at that time, usually via needle although once in a blue moon just by expressing his bladder. Every time, getting the urine has taken only a few seconds and Jacob hasn't expressed distress at the process. Yes, he feels the needle, but it's a tiny needle, especially in comparison to what I use to give him his sub-Q fluids, and he barely even flinches when they do it. It's really not as horrific a procedure as it sounds. That's interesting, Laura. I would think the cat would protest. Thanks for letting me know.

Well, as a disclaimer, I will say that Jacob is the polar opposite of how Alex was at the veterinarians' offices. He purrs through *everything*, even having his anal glands expressed, if you can believe that. He sure does sound like a sweetie! I'll never forget when my Queenie (rainbow bridge) had her glands expressed. I bet they could hear her yowling a mile away. ________ See my cats: http://community.webshots.com/album/56955940rWhxAe Raw Diet Info: http://www.holisticat.com/drjletter.html http://www.geocities.com/rawfeeders/ForCatsOnly.html Declawing Info: http://www.wholecat.com/articles/claws.htm |
