Mattie’s big day…

Great Danes/Pets - - Posted on August, 7 at 10:02 pm

Mikayla and I headed to ‘the big city’ today for Mattie’s vet appointment.  (Mikayla only came because I bribed her, as I needed someone to sit in the car with Mattie (a/c running) while I ran errands afterward!  She didn’t want home theater carpet ~go figure~ but the third & fourth book in the Twilight Series by Stephenie Meyer.)

Mattie has developed a strange rash, and I wanted him to have some blood work done (it’s a good baseline to have), and also a general check-up.  It was all fun and games (and new sights and smells) until they started poking needles in him!  Poor guy - he stood and shook and shivered, while his hair fell out in bunches!

The vet and her assistants were very good, and of course they thought he was wonderful :-)  She gave him a script for antibiotics and a dose of de-wormer.  He couldn’t wait to get out of there, and even refused the treat they tried to give him!

It must have been a really rough day as he’s been cuddled up on his bed sleeping ever since we got home :-)

    Aw, Katie and Zoe send hugs. They went through the same thing a couple of weeks ago - just to update shots, etc. Fortunately, neither of them shed but they shake like mad, especially the schnauzer, Zoe. She is super sensitive and very protective of us. Katie - she loves everybody. But she would not look the vet in the eye. Not for a treat, nothing! The vet cracked up!
    Give your big sweet baby a hug from us.
    ~~~Blessings~~~

    Poor baby boy Mattie! Who likes to be poked with needles? I sure don’t, and I have to have it done every week. Glad he’s okay.
