| Maisy's first vet visit Today was the day; our first vet visit. Our local area is big on farming, so they had out back a huge barn for holding horses and cattle, and next to that a large shed because they often take in strays and adopt them out themselves! They also have several vets on hand. We sat in the waiting room for awhile, checking out all the doggies and letting people come up and pet Maisy. I loved that people seemed so excited to see her, "A yorkie! Oh, they're so precious!" Then we went into the vet's office and the door slammed and you could hear everything outside amplified quite a bit. Once we sat her on the table, she started shaking like a leaf! Luckily I thought ahead and brought her a rawhide stick. I distracted her with the rawhide and she seemed perfectly content after a few seconds. Then the vet walked in and he seemed very friendly. He loved all over Maisy and she loved right back! She seems to charm everyone she meets! After some talking, he did a normal check up; eyes, ears, heartbeat, etc. Then he did a fecal exam and boy she did not like that! But she got over it pretty quickly, and it came back negative, yay! Then came the shot. Boy, I have never heard her cry and scream so much. She's pretty sensitive though, so I wasn't surprised. I'm used to having pretty hardy dogs, but she yelps if she buts her head into a wall She cried when he first gave it to her. Then she was quiet. Then she started screaming again out of nowhere and didn't stop for awhile The vet and I both felt so bad for the little girl, poor thing was so upset. Then he gave us a binder full of pamphlets, a health record, Advantage II flea medicine sample, and a calendar and we were on our way. Our next visit is in a month and she'll get the same treatment. By that time I wouldn't be surprised if she comes to hate the vet The pictures I included were of her in the waiting room, on the table, a cute cat picture in the office called "Fat cat capsizing", when I took her to my friend's workplace and she saw her reflection for the first time, and two pictures in the car on the way home.

| What a sweet girl. My two hate the vet too... They shake and are always scared Have you thought about getting her a carseat for the car? It could help save her life if you were to get in a car accident and makes it much safer for the people in the car. A loose dog can be a projectile and hurt the people too.

| Thanks everyone! She got home and curled up in her bed and I tried to keep it dark and cool in the room while she slept. The vet warned me she might be lethargic and sick the rest of the day, but after her nap, she seemed her normal self. Quote:

| My niece's dalmation absolutely hated the vet. She started giving him a hamburger paddy (cooked of course) for every vet trip. It took a while but he actually started liking the vet trip. Not saying you should give her burger paddy of course. But perhaps her favorite treat before and after the visit? She's very cute. |
