Aww just think how much fun we could have if you were in Queen Creek

I've done most things to my pets at home under a vet's direction. Since I'm a nurse they're like, o ya you can do that at home

I drew the line at doing home thoracentisis on my sick cat. I didn't really want to stick an 18 gauge needle between my cat's ribs and drain lymph fluid every other day. Much rather pay $60 every other day than do that even if I had to go into debt to do it. She was already mad at me for force feeding her. For those of you in AZ, it was my favorite vet Dr. Burke who wanted me to do that. I was like no thanks!

I wanted to be a vet when I was little, but I'm glad I'm not ... this is terrible but it doesn't bother me to put an IV into a child's vein so they can get medicine and get well - no matter how much they don't like it - because I know they have to have it to get well. But I have a much harder time doing "mean" things to animals, maybe it's because they are MY animals I'm having to do procedures on, but mostly I think it's because they don't know what you're going to do and have no defense against it, and I can't explain to make it better. At least with kids they have a mom or dad, or other loved one to comfort them after, and explain why ... or they are too young to care why, just that mom or dad is there to make it better. When it's my pet, I'm the one doing the mean thing and there isn't anyone else to make it better, except maybe some treats later from my DH who doesn't do medical stuff to them.
