Hi all. I had to take Lulu to the vet this morning to check on her feet. The bare patches on her toes were spreading and I wanted the vet to look at it. First, when I tried to get Lulu in her carrying case, she escaped from the cage and I had to chase her for 15 minutes around the apartment to get her in there. She was obviously quite upset with me chasing her.
THEN I finally get to the vet's office, and while they're checking me in, put her on the floor right next to a barking dog! I could hear her terrified cries and I yelled at the tech to move her, which she didn't, and gave me some snooty comment. I'm sure this was just the assistant, and doesn't really reflect poorly on the vet himself though.
So, I picked her up this afternoon and the vet does think it's a mild case of fungus. He advised me to buy Lamisil and apply a small amount each day and rub it in. I bought it, but she won't let me anywhere near her. I even bought Tinactin a week ago and have been putting that in her dust bath, but she's been leaving her feet out of the bath lately, and just sticking her head in and digging around, which is weird anyway.
When I tried to put her in the cage after getting her home, she shot pee at my arms and chattered so angrily!
HOW CAN I WIN BACK HER LOVE NOW WHEN IT'S TAKEN SO VERY LONG TO GAIN HER TRUST?
