Looking Good!

It's Sweetnesday!

February, 2019, and somehow Sweetie allowed a few snaps that turned out wonderfully.

After this post is published, Sweetie and I venture to the veterinarian's office for her monthly Solensia shot.

Poor Sweetie seems to unusually uninterested in any flavor or brand of food that I put down for her.

Maybe her last pain-relieving shot wore off early, and being hurty has reduced her appetite.

Here's hoping she'll be gobbling up her chow later today.

UPDATE: Sweetie is eating, she's received her shot, and she didn't even yell at me too much.

Spry

It's Sweetnesday!

You don't know how terrific it is, to see Sweetie move about like this.

Monday, she received her second Solensia shot (and another matted fur brush out), and this video was taken just hours later.

Solensia is for arthritis; a monthly injection.

While I cannot easily pill Sweetie, stuffing her into a carrier and getting her to the vet's office is within my abilities.

This visit proved that her weight is stable, and the next visit will include a blood pressure check, and a inspection by her veterinarian.

Waiting to see the vet tech, glaring daggers!

Thankfully, Sweetie didn't hold this supreme intrusion to her dignity against me, maybe because she's less achy.

Power

Our area had an ice storm Wednesday.

We lost power on Thursday (!), and the current projected restoration date is this Sunday.

However, the real power trip was Sweetie's veterinarian visit.

You are lucky this isn't a video with sound!

Sweetie's fur just came off of her in buckets.

Trying to hide under a chair.

-Sweetie lost a small bit of weight from her last exam.

-Her blood pressure is high.

-Tests are being run to see what pain medications her kidneys can tolerate.

-The lump on her tummy/mammary gland hadn't changed at all.

-Her murder mitts were trimmed, and all mats were combed from her fur!

Sweetie will go back in two weeks, after I give her a teeny tiny bit of a pill once a day to reduce her blood pressure; will crush it to mix into a gushy, smelly treat.

It's obvious that she has sore hips; the vet didn't even need to take radiographs to diagnose it.

We are hoping to give her a Solensia shot once a month.

Sweetie didn't hold the indignities of a vet visit against me; here she is, using my torso has her beddy after we arrived back home
.

If we go quiet, please know that it's because without power, we are without Wi-Fi too.

May have to drive to the office to work; rats!

Dusty

It's Sweetnesday!

Shhh...don't tell Queen Sweet that she's going to the veterinarian tomorrow.

Am thinking she's feeling hurty, due to arthritis, and will have the usual tests for an oldster like Sweetie.

Two friends have mentioned monthly shots for pain, and as Sweetie is hard to pill, this may be a possibility.

When living day to day with The Queen, I don't notice that she's got dust and stray furs all over her, but when I see the photos, I think, "why is she so dusty?"

😺😻😺😻😺
