Mancat Monday

Ping had to go back to the Vet once again

with his hematoma.

Poor boy.

But he is getting much better.

Slow but sure.

 

Miss Boo Went To The Vet

During the past week I noticed a dry cough that Boo was

exhibiting. It only lasted a few seconds & I only saw it

happen once off and on for a few days.

But it persisted.

Then to top it off I noticed her scooting on the carpet.

So, I knew she needed to visit the Vet.

So bloodwork, exam, xrays and one consult later

and we know that Boo is in the beginning stages of

heart disease. She is scheduled for an echocardiogram

next month to find out exactly what shape her heart is in.
That cough is probably related to Asthma.
A very very minor case.
It is not related at all to her heart.
We are awaiting the echo before any medication is added,
if any is needed.
Her respiration is super good. Less than 30 breaths a minute.

Oh yes, unfortunately much to her dignity being slapped 

in the face, she had to have her anal glands expressed

and they truly needed it. So to top off all the indignity

she will have to have that done more often.

So please keep her in your purrs & prayers.

I Had To Go To The Vet

UPDATE:
Mom just got the call from the Vet's office.
They said all of my numbers are within normal.
Mom says she feels like she can breath again!
And she says my eye is so much better this morning after the antibiotics!
Have a great Friday everyone, we are!

Mom took me and put me in the PTU yesterday. I curled up and made myself super small but it didn't keep me out of being zipped up inside. I cried but that didn't make any difference either. She put me in the metal machine and we took off. Once we started going she zipped open the top and I looked out and was OK. It is a long ride to the Vet's from our house but at least Mom made it so we weren't in heavy traffic. See that gunk in my eye? Well for a little while now Mom has seen it and was watching over me, but yesterday, I would only open my eye about half way, so she said that's it, and she made the appointment. Luckily when we got there they took us right in and stole my pee and my bloods (Mom brought them my poo sample herself -- I wondered what she was doing with that!). But the tech said I was a good girl that she didn't shave my neck because I didn't move. NO joke Sherlock, would you move if someone shoved a needle in your neck? The Vet looked at me and said I have small cataracts in each eye, but she said it is age related and she wasn't worried, they gave Mom some junk to put into my eyes and Mom is sure that will clear up my eye gunk, the Vet wasn't worried about that. My poo sample came back negative and now we are all waiting on the blood results. Mom worries but I'm sure it'll be OK. But she knows I am 12 so it just worries her a bit more than it used to. But I hope my Vet experience is over for another year.

purrs,
