Taco Vaccination

 

Taco in the carrier, going to the vet

Taco is supposed to go for his next vaccination.  I put him in the carrier and see that he had grown so much and heavier!  At the vet, he was being weighed by the vet.  His weight was 2.38kg!  The last trip to the vet he weigh 1.58kg.  He has gained 800g so far!  At the vet, he was so obedient and cooperative.  When the assistant brought her out of the bag, he just let her do it.  The vet gave him injection and he was okay too, as though nothing had happened at all.  Last time for Dora, they would give Dora some treats to distract her then they gave Dora injection.  This time for Taco, no treats given and no small talk, just inject straight away.  Then the vet gave Taco a deworm pill to take.  And that's all!

Taco has adapted to the home now.  He is lying at every corner of the house -- in front of the TV, on the bed, in the basket, and on the floor at different parts of the house.  He is growing heavier and longer too.  Look at him when he first came to our home here.  His next vaccination would be next month and then he would need to be sterilized after that.

Taco had an appointment with the vet at 4pm yesterday.  This is his first visit to the vet to get himself deworm and vaccinated. Taco was not even 1kg on the day he came to our home last month.  But yesterday, he was being weighed and his weight was 1.58kg!  He had grown so much!  Look at the photographs and you can see the difference in size.  

Yesterday I booked Gojek and the driver arrived.  He saw me with the kitten and he rejected me instantly.  Then I booked Grab.  The driver arrived, told me that they don't carry pets also.  But he said he would allow this time because "I see you so old" so he helped me.  I am so grateful that he was willing to take us.  He was a friendly and kind soul.  He told me that next time I need to call GrabPets, first time I heard of.  The last time I had Dora sent to the hospital was using Grab too.  That driver allowed us and sent us to the hospital.  So thankful to these drivers.  Last time (two to three years ago) when I sent Dora to the vet I always use Grab transport.  Nobody told me that pets were not allowed.  

After alighting me, he was still smiling, no wonder he got 5 star rating.  I will definitely give him a five stars too, and I did.  I told him too that I will give him 5 stars for helping me.  

Friendly and Kind Grab Driver

Last time when I took the cab, the driver will ask me "Are you Singaporean?" (2008).  Now I took the cab, "you are old mah" remarks I get.  When I go Giant, they also asked if I have senior citizen card.  The time I going to spend on this earth is getting shorter now.  I am left with at most 30 years to do what I want on earth, to do purposeful things on earth and then to leave this world without any regrets.

Second Dose Vaccination

 

Items received on Second Dose of Vaccination 

I went for my second dose of vaccination on 14 May 2021.  My mother asked me to drink more water and also to drink Ginseng before the jab.  The weather was fine on that day.  I booked my appointment at 4pm.  

I went to Woodlands Community Club on 14 May 2021.  There was no queue at 4pm.  As usual like first dose, when I entered the hall, I was given a bottle of mineral water.  Then I showed them my NRIC and proceed to the next counter.  At the registration counter, they checked my particulars and I answered a few questions and later on I proceed to the vaccination counter.  This time, I looked at the needle, to see where it was injected.  Upon injection, there was not much pain at all.  Surprisingly!

So after the jab, I had to go next counter for observation.  I sat there for 30minutes.  At 30 minutes, my name was called.  I went to the counter, they gave me the vaccination certificate and a packet of mask.  After that I went home.  Fast and easy.  

                                            Reusable mask that was given 

That night, my left arm was a bit sore.  I also had a fever of 38.4 degree the next day.  After 2 days the soreness from the hand was gone and my fever was okay too.  For my first dose, I only had hand soreness, no fever.  But was tired.
