- Am I just being a puritan, or does this sound a little wierd to you
- guys too? My husband took Bast back to the vet to have her teeth cleaned, and
- also mentioned the problem we've had with her peeing on the floor. The vet
- said that this indeed was most likely a reaction to our having brought a
- second cat into the house. (No physical problem evident.) So, in addition
- to Kitty Scope for Fresh Breath, he sent Bast home with an envelope of
- Valium. Since aspirin is about the strongest thing I ever take myself,
- I found this somewhat alarming.
-
- Do we really have to dope her up to control this problem?? She and Felix
- have both been in solitary for the last week, and my vote is for giving that
- an extended try before resorting to drugging her. What's the net.opinion?
- Should I trust this vet?
