upset mommy

so it was suppossed to be molly's big day at banfield pet hospital.  all did not go as planned.  they told dr. that it was going to be 470 dollars.  well we all know he has never had a cat before but does $470 sound like a good price to you?  so while molly was sitting in a cage all day watching the dogs walk by, dr. decides to call cara.... the animal shelter that dr. so thoughtfully rescued molly from. he lets them know he is unhappy he paid for a spay and his cat has been in heat for 9 months now. somehow cara got in touch with banfield, told them not to do the surgery and that they were going to try and find one of their vets to do the "exploratory" surgery that needs to be done.  SIDE NOTE ... this exploratory surgery entails cutting a 6 inch long incision in my precious child, sitting molly's intestines on the table while they look around inside her.  now picture the doctor describing the surgery to me when i went to pick up a pissed off molly today.  i told him he needed to explain this to my husband because i don't do well with this stuff..... he kept on talking... i continue to start sweating profusely (because we all know that i can not handle any type of medical thoughts, experiences, encounter, etc.) i start hearing a high pitched beep that i always hear before i faint.  so i said "i'm sorry, i think i am going to faint, you have got to stop talking" and i turned around and sat down on the bench in the waiting room. whew. ok, i didn't end of fainting.

so molly sits in the cage for a total of ten hours today.  dr. might have cat scratch fever from the fight she put up this morning getting into the carrier and it did not sound like they were winning the fight when they put her back in the carrier this afternoon.  i am pretty sure all of pet smart was aware that molly was not going to put up with this shit. ( can i say that word on a blog?)

so cara wants to hook us up ( are those the right words..... i guess I mean "fix their mistake") and are considering paying for this exploratory surgery since they had a faulty vet do the first spay.  i am not too excited about this concept.  i do not want some untrained mexican ( if you are mexican i apologize that i a taking this out on you... i am kind of pissed off) laying my kitties intestines on the table looking or ovarian tissue some awfully trained veterinarian left in the most wonderful cat in the world.

now, molly is back at home and out of the carrier.  she has been in heat the past 4 or 5 days but the second i let her out of that carrier, she walked away and has not said a word since she got home.  either she didn't get any sleep because there was too much action going on in the boarding area or she is scared that if she makes one peep she will be returned to the vet.  whatever the reason, if we decide not to pay $470 for surgery, whenever she goes into heat, we will ask the vet to keep her for a few hours so she appreciates home even more and doesn't always want to drive her parents insane.  maybe we will actually get some sleep tonight.

gotta love a bog- great way to vent!~
