TBT: Our current vet clinic seems to be trying to "go out of business". The Mews were cared for by a wonderful vet for 30 years but he retired and we got transferred to this practice with 3 vets. Apparently, only one remains and she doesn't seem to be there often.. They are closed all this week and it not the first time they have done that.
So I looked up other vets nearby. I talked to one for an hour. They seem to be good (asked about the cats before discussing costs). Very friendly and had a good Yelp review.
Lori needs her annual shots and we have an appointment for Jan 16th. We'll see how that goes. Meanwhile, the new vet office is getting the medical records from the previous one.
I hate to change vets. I know they all mean well, but maybe some are better at it than others. But Lori is just going in for a few routine shots and anyone can do that well enough.
What I'll really be looking at is the waiting room, the exam room, and how they handle Lori on the table. I wish it was Marley; he's calm but tough. But it is Lori's turn for shots and I can't change that.
I sure miss Dr Miller, but he did 30+ years and that was enough for him. Time to establish a new vet relationship. I hope this one lasts.
