Snickers/Grumpy - Evil twosome

[dspch911]

Snickers is way over due for a neuter, but I'm just not sure how to take him in - I can't pick him up and I'm afraid to subject others to him. Yes, we are afraid of him - he has never bitten, but he screams and is hard to hold. He is constantly a puff ball and rubs his butt everywhere!!! He makes out time miserable for his cagemates and yesterday he escalated!!! He is a stalker and he has recruited Grumpy. Poor Throttle (maybe it was revenge) anyway Snickers kept attacking him, and if he would hide - Snickers was pace back and forth outside of where he was hiding until he came out. He would follow him around. Grumpy was the same way. Or they would attack one of the boys and then the other would come out of no where and make it two on one!! These two are like an evil gang lying in wait. :gaah: I'd put him in time out, but I'm not picking up that enraged puff ball!! I need a dart gun :giggle: The only one they will not mess with is Peanut - probably because he can sit on them and squish them!

Your boys have nutty tendencies lol! Thats not good that Snickers has requited Grumpy, poor Throttle getting the burnt of it.
Now that you have a new vet that are helpful I'm sure they'd understand that Snickers needs a neuter because of his hormones and that he isn't the most sociable fella because of it.
Whenever I have taken Moon to the vet I just make sure to warn the staff that he's very scared of strangers and could be unpredictable.
I don't know what to suggest about picking him up maybe oven gloves.
Good luck.

Oven gloves or a towel may work? I am sure the vet and the vet techs will be fine with him.

I'd definitely get him in. They could always sedate him before handling. Get a box, get him in the box and pop him in the carrier.
