Was This Vet Crazy? YES HE WAS.

A Cautionary Tale. Also A True Story.

I can change your cat into a gerbil!!! No? Why must you hate science!?!

Last week, I posted a story about a Mad Scientist. Today I’d like to warn you about Mad Veterinarians. THEY ARE OUT THERE.

Eleventy thousand years ago, I became the proud rescuer of two wickedly cute Tonkinese kittens named Tatsuo and Panache. I knew very little about baby kittehs, and I was seriously broke at the time, so I found a clinic where veterinary residents do the work on a sliding scale for po’ folk. Also, being neurotic, I had a list of concerns and questions for the young vet.
