Reed's Rescues

Jimmy and Cucumber had their first vet appointments today. Jimmy did well, but Cucumber did not. Cucumber was absolutely terrified of the new environment and smells, and ended up biting a vet tech. He had to be sedated to complete his blood work, exam, and receive his vaccines. He also had his ears cleaned. The tech is ok, but Cucumber had to be quarantined for the next 10 days. He has not been outside, so rabies is not a concern, but by law, he has to be quarantined and then re-examined in 10 days. Both boys will go back in 3-4 weeks for boosters, and be neutered. Once healed, they will be available for adoption. Cucumber will need a very calm, loving home as he has bad anxiety. The total for the visits today came to just under $600 if anyone would like to help. Cucumber will need anxiety meds for future visits to prevent anymore incidents. Both boys are resting peacefully now.

He has the grumpiest face, but the sweetest heart! Oscar the Grouch (not actually a grouch unless he doesn't get his canned food and temptations treats 😂).
