You're right... the worst thing is when you leave them in their cage at the vet's and you hear them meowing and see their little faces looking at you: "Hey! Where are you going? Don't leave me here!"

I'd better stop now ... I'm getting all emotional. I hope I can still get some work done today.

I always tell mums & dads to go home & have a strong cup of coffee,blow their noses,wipe their eyes & by the time they have done that the chances are the op will be nearly over,we do luv em while they are in our care.
I wouldn't deny her the treat of a shrimp tonight that will have passed through,its more her not having a great big meal,because our cut off for feeding is 9PM the night before when it has been time for any of mine to have their ops I put them to bed about 8.45PM with their normal dish of supper,they all eat their own up quite quickly & there is no extra food in the room so they are happy & in the morning I get whichever one into its basket as near to leaving for work as possible,pop that one into the car then run back & feed the others so
really that one appears to only be missing out on breakfast,I feel a bit sorry for mine then though because it means it arrives at the vets very early & has to stay in a pen a lot longer than the others.
Will be thinking of you all in the morning x

Thanks jckerrison for your encouraging words.

Awwwwwwwwwwww bless her, the worst thing with Louie was starving him he was'nt a happy paws but was fine, give her a big hug from us & dont you worry, well try not to xxx
