My cat who's had the same problem never used to mind vet visits (though he wasn't fond of the car ride), but ever since he had to be treated for it, he just hates going there, probably with good reason since they had to do some poking and prodding of sensitive parts. Now, even if he's just there for a checkup, he crouches on the examining table with his ears back, emitting a constant low growl.

Hope Gizmo is now back home, sleeping somewhere comfortable and feeling better.
