Re: Need RI Advice ASAP

Oh man....I hate going to the vet...freaks me out every time x.x

Anyway...got Moko to the vet. They said it was caught VERY early and should be quick to fix. He was started on Baytril injections. Since I am new to it all, the vet said I could bring him in at no charge to administer the shots! (Made my day!)

However, the first tech to show me to my room was terrified of snakes and apparently was expecting a 12 foot bermese instead of a small BP.... She said she was trying to overcome her fear of snakes, and at least touched Moko before running off to find a tech more comfortable with snakes. This one didn't even know the symptoms of an RI and kept calling it a URI. So happy that lady left.... It was amusing to a degree, but I am also sick (head cold probably turning into a chest cold) and was in less than an enthusiastic mood myself.

Thank god the next tech was cool, and the vet was pretty awesome.

Apparently just because a clinic services exotics, doesn't mean everyone is ok with them. Just another learning experience for me. Also....it was the 1st tech's 1st week there, so she was also new and I think still in school.

Overall experience...8/10.

In the end Moko got what he needed for a price I could afford, and the actual vet was pretty awesome.

I also came home and sterilized his tub and put paper towels down before putting him away. How often should I do this? I don't want to do it daily since he stresses out pretty easily anyway, but the shots are every 3 days. Would it be ok to sterilize at this time to lessen his stress between injections?
