Sweet-nesday

Sweetie's new hangout, since she is avoiding the bedroom
She enjoys looking out the windows; I stuffed my phone in front of her to take this!
I love seeing her so relaxed.

Sweetie continues to be a sweetheart!

Her trip to the veterinarian on Monday had some bumps and some positive things:

Bumps:
1. We arrived 30 minutes early
2. I was so flustered that I forgot to ask several important questions, like is she deaf, and how old is she?
3. Blood tests need to be redone
4. Sweetie is avoiding the bedroom (and The Hubby) where she was caught, manhandled, and stuffed into the carrier! 
5. She has a bad canine tooth that needs attention
6. Probably has an upper respiratory infection

Positive:
1. The vet was able to take her in despite us being early
2. She tested negative for FIV
3. The staff said she was a real lady, allowing nail trims and pets!
4. Heart and lung sounds are good
5. For at least one day, I was able to give her the antibiotic capsule
6. Sweetie enjoys my morning conference calls, as she rubs against my ankles and meows loud enough for my co-workers to hear!

***

More information is forthcoming, as she will need to get to the vet again.
We await the blood and urine tests that they can run.

A shout out to the veterinarians and staff at Cats Veterinary Hospital!

I really want to be the human whom you look forward to seeing, not a stressed out, crazypants freak!

🙀😷🙀

P.S. According to the Governor of Michigan, all elective veterinary surgeries are to be suspended at this time, including spay & neuter, dentals, etc. unless the animal's life is in danger.

We will do nothing that counters this important mandate.

  2. So glad that Sweetie is doing well. I know just how you feel catching the ones that don't want to caught. You have a great day.

  3. We're glad for the (mostly) good news. Can you mix the capsule in with some chicken baby food? That's a trick we've used many times here.

    Have a fabulous day. Scritches to Sweetie. ♥

  5. Total sweetness, much appreciated
    Zach is going to a pet hospital to get Bo's series of shots that he can give them over the next few weeks. He needs his series in case he gets to come home with him and he needs them to be a healthy kitty!!

  17. She is so pretty. If she's in pain from the tooth, that doesn't sound elective.

  20. I'm sad that spay/neuter and dental procedures are on hold. Hurray for Sweetie's resilience! You're good people and she's very lucky. :) Stay safe.

  22. Hi Sweetie! *big paw wave* Glad you're doing well.

  23. Well, at least Sweetie was able to be seen by a doctor; it's too bad that she'll need to go back. I have heard that spaying and neutering everywhere are being postponed. I would think those are urgent cases, as they are for the good of the cats and dogs, and in some cases can very much help adoptions.
