I am back to work to-day after a worthless weekend ( Read more... )

We did get Hannibal back early in the afternoon. At home, when he was less groggy, he left the carrier then spent the rest of the day trying to escape from the cone. The vet had placed a cone to prevent H. from cleaning the surgery wound, but the vet also didn't want H. to be overly active. So early this morning Marisa took the cone off. H. is ( Read more... )

To-day was dedicated to getting Hannibal to the veterinarian. We failed in that task ( Read more... )

To-day we brought Venom, one of our two 1 1/2 year old black cats, to the veterinarian for his neuter operation. He had seen the vet two times before: the first time when he could not be examined (too hyper), then the second time after we had sedated him with 1 1/2 pills of some depressant mixed in with his food ( Read more... )

* Got a half-hour to talk with a Kaiser-Permanente doctor last week. She believes I have dry-eye syndrome which was first diagnosed in 2015 with my visit to the E.R. (which, by the way, was never billed to me, thank goodness). She says there is not one single thing I can do...just drink water, cleanse the area around the eyes, take flax seed oil ( Read more... )

We tried to grab Will to take her to the vet for her spay...but she realized something was up, didn't enter the bathroom so Marisa could close the door and I could capture her ( Read more... )

This morning the veterinarian at Columbia Rier Veterinary Specialists put Squeakers under anesthesia and did a C-T scan of his throat. The growth was too much to remove and had reached into his nasal cavity. His nose bled when they put him under. A couple of doctors looked at it and believe they can't remove enough of the material to ease his ( Read more... )

Marisa Young and I visited Squeakers in the ICU to-day. The IV is connected to a location on his neck I guess with a pillowy donut. He was snoozing away when we visited, facing the back of the large cage area. I think he woke once and he took a breath coursely, then fell asleep: we didn't see his face. The attendant said he has gotten up to pee on ( Read more... )
