Purrs Please

Well, the vet called... Her leukemia test came back negative (YAY!).
When they were doing an exam on her, the vet thought she might have a
cold, til I told her that was just beef baby food we'd tried to rub on
her mouth to get her to eat.

Then the vet opened her mouth... Yeegads, how can such a teeniny
kitty (2.8 pounds) have such horrendous breath? TED said she is
smaller than a 'healthy' 6 month old kitten, but otherwise she is
pretty dang healthy... So... It's like this... A tooth growing in
crooked, never kicked out the baby tooth, created ONE abscess. A huge
mass of foxtail stickers, in the roof of her mouth (hard palate?)
created another abscess.

So, she had a couple of teeth pulled, the foxtail mass removed (vet
said it was in excess of 10). I guess while we were out of town, Bush
Baby wasn't letting my Mother-in-law give her skritches and remove the
foxtails in her fur. I just did it as I was petting her. Poor little
baby... I never would have thought to look into her mouth.

Guess my dream the other night was prophetic (I was dreaming that
someone was trying to hurt the strays and ferals, and I kept getting
them and bringing them back to my house to protect them - never ending
job, that). So, I can go and get her in a couple of hours, and dose
her baby food for a while (however long the doc says).

Smokie Darling (Annie) - not sure what it cost, but I don't care. My
little Bush Baby is alright, and that is all that matters to me.


Lots of healing purrs for Bush Baby. You are taking such good care of
her, Annie.
Best wishes,
Polonca and Soncek

Hee... You know, I'd been putting off another update. Twice, since
getting home, I nearly lost her (Tweed, don't know what she and I
would have done without your rehydration recipe). Every time I
thought she was doing better, she'd take a turn for the worst.

Well, it's been two days, she's eating her weight in baby food and
tuna (three times a day). Still has a bit of trouble chewing, but the
vet says it's normal. She isn't wild about the dry food, but that
should come around soon enough. Right now, she's eating, and
drinking, and I'm a happy girl.

Smokie Darling (Annie) - now to see if we can put some weight back on
her, poor dollbaby.
