Challenge #2: Pets of Fandom

Loosely defined! Post about your pets, pets from your canon, anything you want!

Forgot to do this yesterday (Saturday) because I was at the emergency vet with Gremlin Steve! As one does! He's """""""""fine""""""""" in that the emergency vet said that x-rays can wait until Monday at my regular vet, he is not fine in that he's been limping for a month, month and a half, and the (regular) vet thought it was because of a split toenail that then split further (a valid conclusion) but now he has a lump of swelling on his wrist joint. So into the emergency vet we went.

The thing is, the e-vet decided it was nbd based on Grem letting him move his leg and flex the joint, and how he didn't have a temp. Grem will not let me even touch his leg so like clearly it hurts which to me says something is up. At least they sent me home with pain meds for him?

Ugh. Anyway. I have more pets but Grem is my problem (expensive) child.

Oh dear, poor thing. It's a bit like with children, isn't it, some are just accident prone. Luna used to be quite the expensive kitty as well since she was small. She had three goes at the emergency vet during her life, which is rather impressive for an indoor cat, I feel. I hope he will feel better soon.

It! Is! So! Frustrating! This is the dog that had a bone infection as a 10 week old puppy in both front legs. Like???? He also has to go to the special eye vet every 4 months or so to get his eyes checked so they don't fall out of his head or whatever (worsening corneal degradation) because he doesn't make enough tears. He was in the emergency vet last year because he fucked up his back!!

😤

The vet can get him in on Thursday, though, to sedate him and do x-rays, so that's good! That's sooner than I figured they'd be able to do it. But yeah. Absolutely the most expensive dog I have ever owned. Worth it, unfortunately.

They probably have appointment slots that are kept free for such things that can't wait for too long. I think ours definitely do, given how quickly they could fit in Luna when she became sick.
