Second Vet Visit

So tonight we took Onyx to the vet. She needed to get her shots and her regular yearly check-up. We adopted Onyx last July and in August I took her to the vet just because I wanted to have her checked. While we were there some idiot let their puppy run into the office, not on a leash, and the puppy ran right up to Onyx. I knew what was going to happen and I tried my best to pull Onyx back but she was able to grab the poor little puppy by the snout and sit there and hold her. 

Fast forward to this year. I was a nervous wreck bringing her back. I made Jim come with me and we put a muzzle on her just in case. I was so upset and Onyx clearly was too. I don't know if it was because she remembered what happened last year, the vet had to hit her pretty hard on the snout to get her to let go, or if she was just upset because she had to wear a muzzle. I wanted to get there as close to five as we could. They re-open at five for night hours. I figured there might be less people there at that time. The place was packed!! There were about four cats in carriers so I was ok with that but there was a guy with an old lab. He was a little wacky and was making me upset. The dog's collar was not on tight enough and at one point she twisted out of it! When she was on the leash he kept holding it looser and looser! I knew Onyx wasn't biting anyone with a muzzle on but I am afraid that another dog is going to bite her and she won't be able to defend herself. Oh goodness I was sick!

Eventually we got back there. She weighs 71 pounds! Yikes! She got her shots which she took very well. The doctor also prescribed an antihistamine for allergies. We also found out that she actually was microchipped already. Now I just have to figure out what company was used so I can register the chip. Now I also have to renew her liscense. Over all the visit cost $81.00. I didn't think it was too bad! :)
