Going to the vet today...

BigFil Jan 08, 2004 11:21 AM

I am taking Gollum and Smeagol in for their first vet visit today. I've been wanting to take them in for a normal check up for a while now, but with X-mas and the holidays it has been hard finacially. Don't get me wrong, if there was a serious issue going on these guys are my responsibility and I would get them their immediately even if I had to eat Top Ramen for a week.

Anyways what I was wondering is what to expect while at the vet, i've never had a pet before so I am curious. What questions should I be asking to know whether or not these guys are any good or not? I got their name off of Melissa Kaplan's website and it said it was one of the vets recommended by herpers, but I just want to be informed and sure myself. Has anyone had any experience with the Wikiup Animal Hospital? If so can you let me know your what you think.

I have scheduled to bring both of them in at the same time. Is this OK or will they recieve better attention if I bring them in one at a time? Gollum hasn't been eating as much the last couple of weeks, but is still eating everday and pooping so hopefully they will be able to tell me what's going on with him.
