Hi there.

I took my cat (Stella) to the vet on Saturday because I thought she had ear mites. Turns out it was just wax buildup, bacteria, etc--so the vet cleaned out her ears with Qtips and dropped some medicine in them. Stella was squirming and crying the whole time.

When we got home, she didn't want to be pet for a few hours and was pretty stand offish.

Was she traumatized by the vet visit?

probably, but not permanently.

When we get back from the Vet I usually put her carrier down and let her get out/explore/get used to being at home again on her own. When she comes to me I'll pet her, etc.

One of the mods should be able to do for you,

Willow is usually cold with us for a day or so after the vet I thinks most cats I know as a kid I hated my mother dragging me to the docs

This is pretty normal, I think. Velvet never has much to do with me for up to day after her yearly trip to the vet. She gets over is soon even though.
