Went in today to get his chip and rabies for the international travel. Turns out we also needed kennel cough and distemper for hotels, so we added those in last minute.
Got in, we did mostly okay until they had to look at his teeth and take him in the back to to chipping/shots. They said they had to shave part of his mohawk to get the needle in and see what they were doing. No, they didn't. And the insertion site is way too mangled due to his struggling. I told them to sedate, but they wanted an extra $100 for it because they said it "wasn't necessary". But all is well, for the most part.
His weight was 68lbs, pretty much right on the dot, could stand to lose 2-3lbs and gain some muscle. Chipping went well, shots were fine, but he does need his tooth extracted. Obviously I'm doing that with the vet *I* trust in MS, and not the one here. No way.
