Our Newest Baby!
Written by Gel on Tuesday, June 12, 2007
Meet Maki, the newest member of this household. He is a month-old mongrel (a cross between a Chow Chow and an askal) we got last Sunday from a friend of Allan's officemate. He weighs a kilo and a half, and sleeps 90% of the time. He loves to take naps, eat, and gnaw at things. In that order. He also likes being held to sleep, lying flat on his tummy on the floor and staying in the direction where the fan is pointing. He hates enclosed spaces.
We brought him to the vet yesterday. It was my first visit to one (I never brought any of my pets before), and it was not pleasant for the three of us. The veterinarian didn't seem too friendly with canines; her clinic reeked of unwashed canine urine, and all the dogs that were staying there seemed, I dunno.. unhappy? I think Maki got traumatized with how the (female) vet gave him shots. He was treated in really scruffy manner, not in a way you'd expect an animal doctor to administer medications. What those were for weren't even explained to us in clarity.
OK, so she told us the puppy has flu (if it wasn't obvious already), and asked us questions without examining Maki first. Then she went on giving him shots. Part of me wanted to question her if she really knew her thing, but I was more concerned of Maki's cries earlier. Needless to say, we're changing vets. I don't trust that woman. :s
