Thread: Storvenn and Loki - snipped n chipped.

Took Storvenn & Loki to the vets yesterday to have them snipped and identity chips put in. Seemed to be sensible to put the chips in when they are under the anathestic.
We had to give them no food from 8pm the previous day and no water from 7am on the day of the op. Storvenn vented his annoyance via a constant chirp/meow symphony all the way to the vets at 8:30am. I kept apologising to him :(

Storvenn went well - when we picked him up at 5pm that evening he was obviously very hungry. I did joke about arriving at the vets only to find an enormous cat and no vets around :D

Loki went well too, but they found two of her milk teeth hadnt dropped out and two new teeth were coming through above. So we opted for them to correct this whilst she was asleep too. Shes now got one of those plastic cones around her neck to stop her pulling out the stiches from where she has had the 'snip' operation.

Got them both home and oh my... **waves goodbye to a LOT of raw fish.
We spent the evening / early night with a duvet doubled up on the floor and just laying there watching tv with them giving them lots of gentle TLC. Loki was a bit out of it, Storvenn... well it was as if nothing has happened.

This morning I got up and fed them. Both look very awake and alert. More huge quantities of fish have been devoured (whispers.. I hid Loki's pain medicene on hers... ) and Loki seems to have become a lot more accustomed to the plastic cone.

Roll on this Friday when they go back for a check up & Loki can have the plastic thingy removed. Plus.. we can now get the official paperwork from the breeder as part of our agreement was that we have them snipped.
