Thanks. I have to admit I panicked a bit. It's been a while since I brought a kitten into the house. Jax reminds me a lot of Everest (Charlotte's brother) in some ways.
Skritches for everyone!
Took Jax to the vet last night after I noticed he was keeping his left eye closed. Charlotte may have whacked him good and the vet said it looks like he had a small puncture in the cornea after doing a dye test. I was given a small tube of terramycin ointment and instructed to give it to him 3...
Hello everyone.
I recently tried to take in a 10 month old male cat (he is neutered). The people who originally had him moved and it was either try to bring him in here or they were going to dump him. For the first couple of days it looked like things were going to work out between him and my...
I can finally post an update. Charlotte had her ultrasound done this afternoon and her heart is in good condition. He detected a very faint murmur ( I believe he called it an "ejection murmur") that he said occurs when Charlotte has an increase in her activity level (such as playing), from...
Charlotte is six. The vet called a few minutes ago with the blood work results and it all came back normal. She wants me to continue with getting her the ultrasound to find out for sure what is going on. I am relieved that the blood work came back fine, and I'm going to call the specialist...
Thanks Laurie. I was thinking she was constipated too. I am happy that she is using the box (urinating and defecating), and that she is eating and drinking. On the flip side I'm always nervous nellie while waiting for the results of blood tests.
No, she has never had a heart murmur before now, at least as far as I know. It didn't show up during her checkup last November.
She wasn't "backed up" either.
She has been her usual self since we got home. She has been drinking often. I'd like to see her eat more, but I'm watching that closely.
The vet listened to her heart and said she has a heart murmur. Took some blood for a full workup and she wants Charlotte to get an ultrasound. I might not have the results of the blood work back until Monday but she said there is a chance it could come back tomorrow. Charlotte has lost 3lbs...
Hi everyone. I sort of disappeared from here not long after losing Everest last summer. I have some concerns about his sister Charlotte, who will be seeing her vet today at noon. Around 2:30am Thursday morning I went into the bathroom to find Charlotte sitting in a meatloaf type position and...
I'll give it a few episodes before deciding whether or not to stop watching. Despite his faults and problems, Charlie Sheen was hilarious on the show and is going to be very hard to replace.
I wanted a new to for Charlotte to play with so I ordered Da Bird and it arrived today. Charlotte loves it!!! She'll chase it around the floor and jump onto the bed and chair when going after the feathers. When she jumps on the bed after it she picks it up in her mouth and jumps off the bed with...
Charlotte does this. She will sit with her butt on my leg and her front paws on chest with her belly resting against mine wanting to be loved on. It's the cutest thing.
Everest, as affectionate as he was, wasn't a lap cat. If I had long pants on he would jump down into the legs/seat of the...
Thank you.
I just can't believe that one of the two brightest stars in my life is gone. At this point last week and up until this past Sunday my boy was so full of life and energy...and then he was taken away from us. This next week is going be rough with the wound in my heart being so fresh...
I'm bummed, crying off and on, and thinking about him a lot. I'm very tired but sleep isn't coming easy. More than anything I worry about Charlotte. She has never been parted from her brother for more than a day until now. She knows something isn't right, and I've been talking to her about it...
