I used to work in a vet surgery, and yet I'm still nervous every time I have to bring my cats along. It's a stressful experience even when your vet is very kind and helpful. I'm glad August and Gillian got through it all with no problems. <3 Looking after older cats can definitely be a lot -- I have to give Pickle a daily steroid pill, and make sure Caper has his laxative every third day, etc. I'm happy to do whatever I need to keep them comfortable and healthy though.
