Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / March 2004Purrs for farm cat
I buy our vegetables at an organic farm here in Austin. They have a cute 13 year old black cat called Tubby J. Tupelo who has the run of the farm and likes to come to the farm stand for scritches (check out the t-shirts http://www.boggycreekfarm.com/). Well, turns out he's been under the weather for the past couple of months. He has inflamated lymph nodes and doesn't eat anything other than raw beaten eggs. They've taken him to a couple of vets, but they haven't found what's wrong with him. I've told them to go see my vet, she's really good and I'm sure she'll help. In the mean time, if you could spare some purrs for this older gentlecat, I'm sure they would be most appreciated.

Sorry to hear about Tubby. Not being able to find out what's wrong is the pits, whether for hoomins or our masters.

On a side note, Victor, how does one go about finding if there is an organic farm locally? We eat lots of vegetables and fruit and I would love to find an organic farm around here.

It took me a while to find Boggy Creek farm, I can't recall exactly how I found them. A good bet would be to call your county's extension office or a local garden club.

Worth but in the next 6 months or so our home (aka country estate, according to my Mom!) will be finished and we'll be living outside Azle. The county extension and/or garden club sound like good ideas. I'll check them out. Thanks!

Purrs for improvement in Farm Cat's health -- and tell them not to feed him raw eggs. I read where egg whites are harmful to cats.

I hope they get this poor cat to your vet quickly. It sounds like he has an infection of some sort. And living on raw eggs is not very healthy. The high level of albumin in eggs could throw off a CBC test. Purrs and prayers, CATherine I'm sorry to hear about Tubby.

Belated Northeastern Purrs for Tubby. Suz Macmoosette Thank Heavens There's Only One =^..^= =^..^= =^..^= =^..^= =^..^= =^..^= I've learned to not sweat the petty things, and not pet the sweaty things. My vet is not taking any new clients, but she refered Carol Ann (Tuby's slave) to another vet in her practice. Here's the last email I got from Carol Ann: Oh my, Victor, when Doctor Dodd saw Tubby, he said, based on the nasal discharge, it looks like cancer! So, after consulting with us, we left him there, and he put him under, did x-rays of the mouth and teeth, lanced the ping pong ball lymph nodes and drained them, put tubes into them, collected samples of everything to send to the labs, and then we picked him up late afternoon and brought him home. The doc said, he's not so sure now that it's cancer, based on all the infection stuff in the lymph nodes. He did pull one fang and one molar (He said if he could see cancer on the x-rays, he wouldn't pull any teeth) and gave him antibiotics. We won't know until the tests come back which antibiotic he really needs to fight this terrible infection. Tubby still won't eat anything save Hen House Eggs (good taste, our boy has!), and has pulled one tube almost all the way out. The vet says I can stick it back in, but it's impossible: like a wet noodle. So I may cut it off real short so he can't pull it all the way out. We are worn out! But very hopeful that it's not cancer. We won't know for sure until the results come back NEXT WEEK! We appreciate your friendship and care. We really liked Dr. Susan Cauffman (sp?) (phone consultation; she referred us to Dr. Dodd) and Dr. Dodd (a very experienced and reasonable fellow).
