Roxie update
"Singh" wrote in message ... My Little Girl is at the vet now, getting a cleaning, and madder than hell. She beat the snot out of me as I tried to get her into the carrier, and this I took as the most hopeful of signs for positive progress. She's as strong as an ox; I have a nice claw-scrape on my left bezonga as a testimony of my little Amazon's physical culture. Looks like she'll have 2 extractions. One molar does have a cavity that I didn't notice until the tech pointed it out; the loose tooth is the corresponding molar on the other side of the mouth. The vet figures it wasn't anything we may or may not have done. Roxie was originally rescued in a raid on a "cat collector" who kept over 40 cats in a tiny, one-floor bungalow in the city. She was a meek girl then, easily bullied; I remember the shelter and how some of the bigger and more dominant cats knocked her away from the food dish. The doctor said she probably was very poorly nourished before the raid and the shelter stepped in to treat her before we took her, and so she may have some bone weakness. But they were pleased overall; her gums looked way better than expected, they said; Roxie has way less tartar than they would have figured based on yesterday's phone call. Also, they said she was highly muscular in the thin and wiry sense, overall very healthy. She's at the vet's now, getting her teeth done; hopefully we'll have her home tionight, tomorrow morning at the latest. Many thanks to all of you who offered support, purring, and encouragement to a couple of frazzled catparents. Louie, thank God, feels relieved too! Blessed be, Baha Let's hope your bezonga doesn't get infected. ;-) In any case, I'm glad that Roxie's state isn't as bad as originally thought. Purrs still going out for quick recovery. kili |

Roxie update
The bezonga might have a worse fate than Roxie; our Little Girl is bouncing
all over the house, playing like a kid with ADHD, and happy just to eat with her siblings again. Blessed be, Baha kilikini wrote: "Singh" wrote in message ...
