Not so hot purrday
It's Miranda's 5th birthday today. She is not pleased with how we
celebrated it. In the afternoon, I noticed her going into the litterbox, scratching around, and then going away again. She came up to me and scolded me and headbutted my hand. Then back to the litterbox, with no result. After watching her closely for 15 minutes, I rang the vet's and they told me to bring her right in. Poor baby, first she had an ultrasound where they spritzed water on her tummy and I had to help the vet tech hold her on her back while they ran the ultrasound, then they took some urine through the skin. Later they had to sedate her for an x-ray. They found something right at the entrance to the urethra. I saw the x-ray, they are minuscule crystals, apparently calcium oxylate ones. She is out of her mind with pain killers. She has a pain medicine patch on her flank, to be kept there until Thursday, a course of antibiotics to start tomorrow, and more pain killers, also to be given tomorrow. They gave her fluids, so I'm hoping they will flush out those crystals, once she uncliinches enough to let them pass (the painkillers should help with that). She has an e-collar on, and I may have to shut her in the bathroom for the night so Caliban doesn't rip off the painkiller patch. I feel so very bad for her. -- Marina, Miranda and Caliban. In loving memory of Frank and Nikki. |

Poor girl, I do hope she recovers very soon, what a birthday :-( She will have to have an official birthday (like the Queen) when she's better in a couple of weeks when she can have shrimpies and some nip! Tomorrow is mine and KFC's birthday - I never knew the actual date of it so I let her share mine as she arrived knocking on the door a day or two before. She would have been 26 years old had she lived. TBH, I doubt she would have done, I would have had to make the decision a few months after someone made it for me, but that's not the point - which is that no-one should snatch an elderly cat with health issues off the street assuming it's not being cared for and have it put down. I am perfectly capable of deciding when any of my animals or birds with health problems have had enough and can't improve and I will do the right thing. As my own vet was still treating KFC and thought she would have a while yet, I'm still bitter about the whole thing. My next door neighbour avoids me now. Maybe she knows I know that the only person who could have phoned the police with my mobile number was her. I got a call from the police when I was in ER vomiting up with a trapped hernia. "your back door is insecure" My kind neighbour closed it (should never have been in my back garden at all) effectively shutting out KFC overnight. No wonder she was dehydrated the next day when she was outside looking for me, she was shut away from her rehydration fluid. rant over This sort of thing will never happen to Boyfriend. He trusts no-one except me. If he was in the street and someone approached him he'd be gone like the wind. Actually he wouldn't even let them get that close, if he saw someone 50 yards away he would disappear. Although he knows June quite well as she feeds him when I am in hospital and visits often, he was absolutely horrified when she spanned his back with her fingers last week to see if she agreed with me that he was slightly fluffy. "She touched me. OMG.. panic" I did not encourage him to look for comfort about this as June is his best friend - apart from me. Tweed |
