If you have a front opening carrier Elaine, get someone to hold it with the opening tilted upwards, pick up the Diva and put her quickly into the carrier, back legs first. Have the door ready to close. That was the way I used to get Cassie in as she would never go in head first. If you have a top opening carrier it should be a lot easier to just 'drop' her in and close the lid. Good luck, I hope she will be cooperative with you!! |

Thanx Mags the carrier I have has both a front door and a top door because I have so many problems getting her in it I am hoping the prawns will tempt her inside so I dont have to manhandle her too much but if that fails.................. Am thinking of wrapping her in a towel and popping her in through the top. She always manages to spread herself out, making her twice the size of the door I am trying to get her through |

to get my two in I get hold of their front and back legs and just sort of shove, as if you have both sets of legs they can't spread quite as much. Sally |

Ok well just as cats do, she made a fool of me by going into her carrier without any fuss However, I am not so pleased with myself or the vet. Firstly the vet we saw was NOT the one I wanted, who is very good with her, she got her booster with a fair bit of noise, her teeth are in good nick. Then it was time for the claw clipping, now Eva makes alot of fuss and gets stressed easily which is why I had asked for Heidi. Eva made alot of noise, hissing, spitting and growling so they decided to muzzle her . My poor girl almost went through the roof . So in the end there was no claw clipping and they spoke of sedating her which I dont want because I know that Heidi can clip her claws without all that. My poor baby was clinging to me for dear life, bless her. Now that part where I am not so happy with myself. Eva is a very large cat with big bones structure, she always weighed in at around the 6 kg mark but now she is up to 7.6 kg which is not good at all. So now I will have to get her weight back on track by reducing her food intake by around 30% each day and try to get her to play more. |

Such a shame you didn't get the vet you wanted Elaine, are you going back another time to get her claws clipped? And oh dear, methinks Eva is NOT going to be a happy Diva being put on a (whisper it) diet!!!! |
