We did that with a cat, too. It's not difficult but can be distressing for you and the cat. - TWuG Feb 17, 08:08 3
- thanks, will do the towel thing. -- nm - Andie Feb 17, 08:08 2
  - I *always* do the towel thing. Like, whenever we went to the vet I would not use a carrier like they wanted. I would wrap the cat in the towel in the - Spawn Feb 17, 08:10 1
    - i do that with our other cat (plus, i can put her on a leash). but i think Harvey actually like the carrier better. He likes being in things. -- nm - Andie Feb 17, 08:11
Wow. I wish you lots of patience and luck. -- nm - Spawn Feb 17, 07:57
eh, yucky. -- nm - groiny Feb 17, 07:56 6
- oh, i'm not worried about yucky. i'm worried about trying to get a cat to sit there and let you do that. -- nm - Andie Feb 17, 08:00 5
  - You could try warming up a towel and wrapping your cat in it with a front leg out to get the IV. - Krusty Feb 17, 08:09 2
    - In my experience, I would go for the scruff of the neck for a needle insertion. -- nm - Spawn Feb 17, 08:12
    - Also, a vet approved treat right afterwards. :-)👍 -- nm - Krusty Feb 17, 08:10
  - oh, I did not mean yucky like in blood and stuff, I meant exactly what you replied. - groiny Feb 17, 08:06
  - Yeah. Good luck with that. - iSpam Feb 17, 08:06
It's not so bad. -- nm - Christopher Walken Feb 17, 07:56
