And Rosie got her booster shots.... and her butt shaved - a pre-emptive
strike to avoid nasty klingons :D

Also went to remove her spay stitches, but she's already done that job
herself! We hadn't noticed as she's not the rub-my-belly type.

During Lizzie's exam, Dr was checking her nether regions, and noticed she
had something stuck in her fur, so he went to give her a bit of a trim. She
apparently didn't think too highly of that, cuz she gave him a squirt of
stinky gunk from her anal glands! In the face. Part of it, anyway. Rest
went on his Dr's 'coat', and a few drops actually went across the exam room
onto the counter behind the Dr! This is the same cat that took a swipe at
the Dr (different Dr) at her first visit when she got her shots. Dr was
quick and she missed him. Now she usually cowers and tries to crawl into my
armpit. But getting her butt saved was a bit much for her. Upon closer
examination of what was shaved off her, it looks like she had a bit of a
clogged anal gland - hence the spray when he removed the blockage!

Well, she's home now and feeling MUCH better - even leaped 4 feet (and this
is the cat with the luxating patella) at a bird on a feeder attached to the
outside of one of the picture windows on the back porch (Da Tiled Room, per
Weebs).

And I double checked the vet bill, no charges for dry cleaning :D

Ahh yes the smell of anal glands.

We hate that when that happens, cause then the smell lingers in the
air. And god forbid you get it on your clothes cause wiping it with a
damp cloth won't do anything. I remember having to completely change
my scrubs once when a dog got me. I once remember a vet getting a bit
in her hair. ICK!!!

And as a tech, sometimes the animal will express their anals in the
middle of what you are trying to do, and you can't stop and clean it,
you just have to grin and bear it until you're done and THEN survey the
damage.

And then you have to clean up the mess, clean up the animal's butt;
though the animal is already riled up, and then go and hand him to the
owner with a smile. Sheesh.......

I remember back in school when we brought in our own animals help us
practice giving physical exams. Mischief got really ticked off after
having like 6 of my classmates all take turns listening to her heart,
looking in her ears, palpating her belly.

"Hey, Kristi, this is your cat, right?"
"Yeah, why?"
"She just expressed her anal glands...."

Sigh, the whole classroom stunk and i had to clean up the desk she was
on, clean up her butt, and open all the windows.

Oh, and also while we're on the subect, Mischief jumped on my desk
while i was studying on Monday and 'accidentally' expressed her butt
juice all over my notes, my desk, and i even found some on my computer
monitor. And she couldn't figure out why i was angry at her......

And all day i could still smell it and eventually found one tiny spot i
had missed while cleaning.

Friggin dingbat......
