Fur-Mommy Guilt

I took my baby to the vet this morning to have her bathed and groomed and to also have her urine checked (follow-up thing). I know she needed to go and I have been putting it off but she didn't want to go and I feel so bad for taking her anyway! She tried to "talk" me out of putting her in her kennel and I finally had to bribe her in with caviar treats. Then she growled at me when I closed the kennel door and that just broke my heart because I KNOW she wasn't growling to be mean but only because she was scared. And then I worry that the people at the vet won't be as gentle and caring with her as I would be and that bothers me too.

Do any of you feel this bad for routine stuff or am I going overboard? I feel like a bad mommy!

I ALWAYS feel bad when I have to take Neko to the vet. Its a real battle just to get her into her carrier. I hope your baby feels better at home.
