We have an old cat who has been to the vet rather a lot recently but poor thing gets very stressed and sits quivering and growling quietly when he's there 
Anyway he has a cyst on his back which needs draining now at least once a week. So the vet has given me all the stuff I need to do it at home and shown me what to do. So today I drained his cyst at home. Dh held him on his knee, it was all over in a couple of minutes, dcat didn't growl once, and it saves me a fortune. Win win situation. Brill
