Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / June 2004Chester knows about shots
Aw, do I feel terrible. Today is vaccination day and Chester is just sitting there looking at me. He won't respond with his usual orgy of delight when I say hi to him. He just sits and stares. He has had bad reactions in the past and last year he dragged around for 4 days afterwards, even with kitty aspirin. We are doing all separately today so I hope it is better for him. He really needs his shots since he's out and about in the neigbourhood. I don't like doing this to him :-( Oh, and Otis has no clue. He's racing around trying all windows and doors and yowling up a storm. Wants out. No way until I get him to the vet. Susan M Otis and Chester > Aw, do I feel terrible.

Many purrs that he recovers quickly this time. Thanks Marina. We tried a small prednisone dose this time, which we are to have for three mornings running afterwards. Unfortunately, he's already holed himself up in the linen closet with his drooping hang dog head. Poor thing. I'll watch him closely. Otis is running around like nothing happened ... except for extra cuddles he needed with his mommy. It was so cute. At TED, I stood beside the high examining table and Otis jammed his head under my jacket into the crook of my arm. Sort of like if he didn't see TED, TED couldn't see him. Chester, OTOH, always surprises me at TED. He's naturally so much more cautious than Otis but he seems to have more confidence at TED. He sits quietly and looks around and responds to scritches. My kids are killing each other outside. Got to go! Susan M Otis, oblivious Chester, hiding in the closet > Thanks Marina.

LOL, that's what Frank does, too. Especially if blood is being drawn (which happens frequently at TED's these days because of Frank's hyperthyroidism). > Chester, OTOH, always surprises me at TED.

Got to go! Oh! <smacks forehead> I thought at first that you meant Otis and Chester. ;o) You meant your *real* kids. Hope they calmed down.

At least you can keep reminding yourself it's for his own good, but there's no way to explain that to him. I hope he doesn't have a bad reaction this time. -- Joy Owned and operated by Lindy and Skeeter > Poor Chester, and poor you.

As I mentioned to Marina, he seems to be having a bad reaction this time too, despite the prednisone. What do you mean there's no way to explain to him that its for his own good ? I've been wasting my breath and mental projecting energy then I guess :D Susan M Otis and Chester Purrs and best wishes, SignaturePolonca & Soncek > Aw, do I feel terrible.

SignatureVictor Martinez Owned and operated by the Fantastic Seven (TM) Send your spam here: uce@ftc.gov Email me here: pistorLITTER@BOXaustin.rr.com > Awwww... poor Chester. How is he doing? Thanks Victor - Chester slept all day yesterday in the linen closet, came out for a pee, and went back into the closet for the whole night. Showed up around 10 AM looking pretty chipper. Seems to have made a quicker recovery this time with the prednisone. I didn't pill him with the additional prednisone since he seems ok today. He's the kind of cat who remembers for months that you stepped on his tail so I didn't want to aggravate him further :-( Susan M Susan, happy to hear he's recovering from that awful visit. But we all know it's for the best so he doesn't catch nasty diseases. Here's hoping he won't hold a grudge! :) JoJo > > Awwww... poor Chester. How is he doing? > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > Susan M Awwww.... such a sensitive kitty! I'm glad he's feeling better. Ours haven't had a reaction to their shots so far (knock on wood!). It's almost time for Luna and Maya to go in, then about a month later it's Xoxo's turn, then a month after that it's the boys. I can't remember when Fez and Rufous go in.... I hope the vet does. :) SignatureVictor Martinez Owned and operated by the Fantastic Seven (TM) Send your spam here: uce@ftc.gov Email me here: pistorLITTER@BOXaustin.rr.com > Thanks Victor - Chester slept all day yesterday in the linen closet, came > out for a pee, and went back into the closet for the whole night.

Frank is the same when it comes to holding a grudge.
