Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / April 2005Otis trip to TED
Hi there: While TED looked at Otis, Otis smacked his lips 3 times in the first 20 seconds. This continued for the entire exam and he agreed that it was odd. They took blood today but couldn't get urine. They'll do urine tomorrow AM. He also suggested a teeth cleaning (Otis has never had it done) to make sure that there aren't any surprises in there, though it doesn't look terrible right now. Blood test results will be in by fax tomorrow AM so we can find that stuff out right away, which is good. I have this fear that he's got some kind of mass in there somewhere. I feel like I've opened up a can of worms somehow by going - though I *had* to go. I don't like this weird feeling that I have about it. Otis also jerked his head at the end of the blood test so I have to watch his neck for bleeding or swelling tonight and phone the emergency vet if it happens. Susan M Otis and Chester > Hi there: > [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > his neck for bleeding or swelling tonight and phone the emergency vet if it > happens. Susan, You know you did the right thing in taking him in. I'll keep you both in my thoughts and best wishes that it is something minor that is bothering Otis. By the way, getting urine is apparently harder with some cats than others. They can never get any from Buddha unless they keep her overnight. She just really totally voids when she goes, I guess. Good luck. Purrs for Otis to come through this with flying colors. Hugs, CatNipped > > Hi there: > > [quoted text clipped - 30 lines] > unless they keep her overnight.

Lots of purrs and best wishes for Otis' problem to be minor and gentle calming hugs for you, Susan,  SignaturePolonca & Soncek > > Hi there: > > [quoted text clipped - 30 lines] > unless they keep her overnight.

Purrs that it's nothing serious. > Hi there: > [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > Susan M > Otis and Chester Oh purrs for Otis to be OK. I completely understand being nervous. It is just natural and well, they are our babies. Please keep us posted. > I have this fear that he's got some kind of mass in there > somewhere.

I can understand that! :( Try not to worry and we're sending purrs for Otis. SignatureCheryl "The clever cat eats cheese and breathes down rat holes with baited breath." - W.C.

Susan, we'll be sending lots of positive energy towards Otis. SignatureVictor M.

He is 14.2 pounds, which is about a pound too heavy. They've been on a diet for a while but it doesn't seem to be taking. I might have to scale it down some more. Right now they get one can of Iams wet, one cup of Walthams PH control dry food, and one wet pouch of Iams. They used to just graze before they hit their midlife paunches this year.

Do you get "Absolutely Fabulous" there? If you do and you know who Joanna Lumley is, apparently her cat's called Otis too. >Hi there: > [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] >Susan M >Otis and Chester Poor Otis. Purrs that all will be well.
