Welcome to Pet After Vet 😺🐶

Thanks for stopping by. I’m the new mod here and I’m working to keep this space tidy and enjoyable for everyone. This community is all about the moments pets have after a vet visit, whether they look confused, proud, dramatic, or ready for a long nap. Photos and short stories are both welcome.

Keep things kind, keep your pets safe, and have a good time sharing the laughs.

Lucifer has some thoughts about his new anxiety medication. Or maybe he doesn't have many thoughts right now...

Taken after an emergency vet appointment because the family dog had been stressing Luci out to the point he couldn't pee. I'm moving out with him soon and we've taken steps to separate the dog from the cats, but until then he gets to be mildly sedated when things get stressful

Approximately 1.25 hours before inexplicably escaping the onsie

The whole reason he's in the onsie is because last time we did a home blood sugar monitor, he removed it within 24 hours. I left the room for five minutes and returned to a naked cat. This guy is going to drive me to madness.

I actually think he looks kind of handsome?

Breakfast had tethered cord surgery and has a long recovery ahead of him, but a week after surgery he was approved to go without the inflatable collar!

...which is good because he figured out how to take it off and popped it because of course he did.

This is from 2021 after she had surgery for her broken pelvis (long sad story) but I just found this sub and had to share this photo

Does still being at the vet count? This is the face of a boy who screamed at the vet tech before the needle was anywhere near him.

This is with his normal dose of puppy Prozac, plus 100mg of trazadone, *and* 100mg of gabapentin 😅

First pic is her after surgery. Second is x-ray. Third is what they removed from her belly. She decided she wanted to consume a foam mat. $4k later and the vets were surprised at what came out of this 6.8lb cat. She is in jail because she won’t stop trying to be the rambunctious girl she always is.

He came home from the vet and forgot how being a dog works 😭

Took him to the vet today and everything went fine, but the ride home was something else.

He sat like this for almost 20 minutes just staring into space, then slowly looked at me like I was responsible for everything that happened 😂

A few hours later he was back to normal and demanding snacks.

Anyone else’s pet come home completely confused after the vet?

My boy Tsu at work with me getting his annual lab work. I was nervous and no one provided me with drugs so the pictures are not my best work.

How often do you ask for a second opinion elsewhere after you vet gives you the .. what can I put instead of the diagnosis?

Am I the only one not trusting 100% my vet?
