Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / February 2007Purrs for Smokey, please
Our Smokey is spending the weekend at the Vet. He had been "off his feed" for about a week and was very listless. His normally full and shiny coat was starting to take on a shaggy appearance (definitely not normal). Wife took him the the Vet on Friday. They gave him some sort of Vitamin B shot (they said that might perk him up). The vet also did palpate a "mass" on examination and did a needle biopsy for pathology. They wanted to keep him overnight so they could continue to keep an eye on him. The vet called back this morning and said the Vitamin B shot had the desired effect of making him more alert (he was purring at them for attention) but since they don't have the pathology report they want to keep him to monitor his status until the path report comes back. Smokey's 17YO now so purrs that he can pull through this would be greatly appreciated.  SignatureSam, closely supervised by Mistletoe > Our Smokey is spending the weekend at the Vet.

Purrs that Smokey turns around and he pulls through this. Special purrs from Internet, our 17-year-old cat. Ginger-lyn We just got a call from Smokey's vet (on Sunday afternoon, yet). He's been reviewing Smokey's files since we started with that clinic. Smokey's original vet has left the clinic and this guy and his wife (also a vet) bought the practice. So his current vet wasn't thoroughly up on Smokey's history and spent some time today catching up. His current diagnosis is another episode of Irritable Bowel Disease (IBD). His white blood count is elevated but the vet thinks that's just from the IBD. Smokey has been eating voraciously while at the vet's (his poor appetite is the reason we were concerned enough to take him on Friday) so he's much improved. When Smokey was taken to the vet 10 months ago, his then-vet thought he might have large-cell lymphoma. His current vet says that's still possible, but unlikely since Smokey has stayed as well as he has since March. We had been feeding Smokey Royal Canin canned on the advice of his prior vet. While that was OK with him for a while, he got to where he detested the stuff. The vet today said he didn't care what Smokey ate so long as it's high-quality and Smokey ate it (and he made some recommendations of foods (Wellness and one other I don't remember but DW has written down) available at pet food/grocery stores. And the best news - he comes home tomorrow! While I'm sure the vets ministrations contributed to his improvement, I'm convinced the purrs your fur-crews sent did the trick. Thank you all! SignatureSam, currently unsupervised as Mistletoe is busy feeding her face Glad to hear that Smokey is doing so much better!

Smokey's [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > appetite is the reason we were concerned enough to take him on Friday) so > he's much improved. Sam, we're late as usual, these days. I'm hoping that will change after next Wednesday and I can go back to working regular hours and having time to spend with my favorite people. But we will send purrs for Smokey to continue to improve and not scare his Paw and Meommy again! a;ke3o9983mf';ld mw....What the hey! What's happenkek-p0eidnjfke..."This is Sam here, Samuel R. Thunderpaws, that is. It took a minute to mindmeld with the hooman. It can be quite painful at times to enter that vacumn. Well, ummm,....uhh, geee, I only wanted to say...I mean Meowmy didn't tell me until a couple of months after my surgery so maybe she's not.....ummm, I never had anyone think I was cute before. I'd like to add to the purrs I'm sending Sam and send a gentle headbutt to Mistletoe because she's worried about him too." and with a blush and a quick headbutt Sam leaves the void inside his Meowmies head, hitting the send key before she realized she was back in control. We are sending all the purrs we can, Sam. Hope Smokey gets better. Hazel Az > Our Smokey is spending the weekend at the Vet. He had been "off his feed" > for about a week and was very listless.
