What a day.........
I took 2 Mason County Animal Control cats to the vet today.
Howard 🤎 came in to the shelter sick a few weeks ago. The ACO's treated him with Amoxyicillin but that wasn't kicking it. So we made him an appt with the vet. He has a pretty bad URI so we got him on some heavier duty antibiotics. Figured while he was there to get him tested for FiV and FeLV. Unfortunately...... he does have FiV. First was a SNAP test positive then it was confirmed. 😔 He is neutered, approximately 10+ years old. Has dental disease and a cracked top canine tooth with exposed pulp. He is also very underweight at just 6.6 lbs. We had a complete senior bloodwork panel done. He sounds absolutely miserable all stuffy, snotty and sneezing. But what a friendly guy he is and he sure likes attention. A container was sent back with him to AC for a stool sample.
Later in the afternoon I took Beau 🧡 His appt was for testing, vaccines, schedule a neuter and get to the bottom of his big, firm pot belly. Unfortunately..... we learned that he too has FiV. First a SNAP test positive then it was confirmed. He is also 10+ years old and weighs 13 lbs. He is a model Tom Cat. HUGE cheeks, nothing to scruff on his neck...lol. He is an extremely sweet and vocal guy. He is either constantly purring and making biscuits or he is meowing away. We did a complete senior bloodwork panel done on him as well. Also had his left ear tested for possible infection.
He was vaccinated and we are going to schedule an ultrasound of his belly to rule out anything bad. 😔🤞 A containee to collect a stool samples was sent back with him to AC.
Lacey 🖤 who we brought in recently for vaccines, testing, etc etc. was confirmed to have Tapeworms so we got her started on that med today.
And Sassy 🖤 who we took in when we took Lacey was confirmed of having Lyme Disease. We will start her on a course of Doxycycline. And she is scheduled for spay next week.
All combined today's bill was almost $1,200. If you would like to donate towards their medical care it would be very much appreciated. Thank you! 🖤
Be sure to put in the memo MCAC animals.

Our sweet little (6.6 lbs of sweetness) friend Gemma (who is located at Mason County Animal Control and available for adoption) had a Vet 🏥 appt yesterday.
You might remember we got her spayed a few weeks ago (and vaccinated 💉). It was time to get her sutures removed. She is also still fighting off ear mites, so they cleaned her ears really well and recommended strating up ear drops again.
If you are interested in adopting her, go see her anytime Animal Control is open.

And a HUGE Thank you to Rae 🖤 for taking her to the vet for us!! 👧😺🚗🏥 We appreciate you!

💛 Foster Mutt Ebb 🌊 UPDATE 💛
We got the results back of his cardiac workup and his other bloodwork. Just as we suspected his enzyme levels are not good. A NT-proBNP over 900 is cause of concern.... his is over 3,000 😢
Preemptively we went ahead with filling the script for heart medication last week. Because of his small size it needed to be done at a compounding pharmacy (which is out of town)
We actually got it in the mail the day after we got his results and we started him on immediately.
His other bloodwork really wasn't concerning, a couple different things mildly low and mildly elevated.
Physically Ebb is doing well overall. Not showing any clinical signs of heart failure (though we know that's down the road) What's most worriesome though and what weighs heavy on my heart is his cognitive dysfunction. I have spent a lot of time with a lot of dogs and know "doggie dementia" when I see it. 😔 And what is always the most important...is quality of life. 💞
He has a Vet appointment in about a month for a check up and we will go from there.

💛 Foster Mutt Ebb 🌊 UPDATE 💛
So Ebb had his Vet 🏥 appointment this past Thursday. And as far as the mild sedation he was put under for his x-rays 🩻 and bloodwork ....that went OK. He remained stable and they were able to get everything done. Including removing that loose rotten top tooth 🦷(that was barely hanging there) with very little effort.
His heart Murmur is actually a Grade 6 (of 6) and his left atrium is significantly enlarged. 🙁
✨️✨️Grade 6 Heart Murmur:
It is often so severe that it can be heard with a stethoscope placed an inch or two away from the chest. This stage of heart murmur is usually caused by a very severe heart defect or a disease-causing heart problems✨️✨️
He got a script for non steroidal anti-inflammatory
eye drops for his left eye (which he is blind in. The pupil is fixed and dialated) for any pain or swelling he may be having.
As far as day to day life, he has settled into a routine and things are going well. He spends 95% of his day sleeping. The remainder of the time just wandering around. He wanders...not in a looking for anything sort of way but more of in a doggie dementia way.😔 (we went through this with our senior rescue dog Henry a few years ago 😥)
We have a few small dog beds placed around the living room and he takes turns in sleeping in all of them, but has a favorite near the couch. He isn't big on cuddling or snuggling but he sure loves little butt scratches. And likes being held if you are moving. ☺️
He is eating 3 small meals a day. He takes Meloxicam for any pain and inflammation he could be having; whether it be from arthritis or dental. He has been having some runny p**p so he is on both a probiotic and anti-diarrheal.
The results of all his bloodwork (senior panel and cardiac work up) should be in Monday and we will have more answers then. And will continue to give him the best life possible.
His vet bill totalled $863.69 if you would like to donate towards his medical care here is how you can.
Thank you! 💛

In spending time volunteering at Mason County Animal Control we see all kinds of things. A Week or so ago Officer Colbrook and I both noticed something kind of weird about these kittens, brothers Mike and Sully. They walk all wobbly. I talked to Sara and Michelle and after doing some research we kind of had our thoughts of what it could be. We made them a vet appointment and our wonderful helper Savanna Kirwin took them for us this morning. 👧🚗🐈⬛️🐈⬛️ Where it was confirmed. Yes , they do have Cerebellar Hypoplasia aka "Wobbly Cat Syndrome" 🌟Cerebellar Hypoplasia, is a neurological disorder that causes uncoordinated movement. It's one of the most common nervous system disorders in cats. It's caused by the underdevelopment or destruction of the cerebellum, a vital part of the brain. While there is no cure or treatment for CH, cats can learn to adapt to their limitations and live long, healthy lives. The level of care needed depends on the severity of the cat's impairment.🌟 Thankfully , these boys seem to have a mild case of it. However being confined to a cage at Animal Control isn't beneficial. So we are working on securing a foster. And also would like to keep them together. We did get them started on vaccines today. And it was noted that Mike only has one testicle. Other than that they appear to be healthy. We did unfortunately forget to get them FIV and FeLV tested but will ASAP. They are so extremely sweet and loving. And their motors never stop purring. If you would like to donate to their care here's how you can. Please put "Mike & Sully" in the memo. Thank you!! 🖤🖤 Mail: Mason County Mutts P.O.

Von 🧡 (in foster) UPDATE It's safe to say our friend likes the new pool at his foster home 🏡 Just 17 days in foster and he is doing really well. He will be available for adoption, at some point. Stay tuned for updates!! #storyofvon #fosteringsaveslives
Remember Miley? The scared dog at Mason County Animal Control I befriended?And just 2 days after she was surrendered there she got adopted? Some dogs (and cats) absolutely can not handle shelter life. Miley was one of those dogs. She was terrified in that environment. And look at her now! She is living her best life. When you go to a shelter looking to adopt, take the time to meet the scared ones, the hyper ones. Etc. Don't judge them soley on their shelter behavior. #adoptashelterdog
Looking for a chunky cheeked boy? Have a look at Ralphie! He is at Mason County Animal Control waiting to be adopted. $25 adoption fee $25 refundable neuter deposit #adoptasheltercat
Another HUGE day in the story of Von 🧡 His friend circle expanded again.🥰 Jody was one of the people who initially tried walking him when he first came into Mason County Animal Control ,in December but he was buck wild lol. She did get him back to the building but didn't walk him again. I gave her the run down tonight and had her watch me get Von out and walk him. Halfway through I handed her the leash, and we walked some more....and jogged just a bit. Then I stopped and watched her and Von jog around the fence over in the fairgrounds road and back up the sidewalk. He did great. ☺️ Von has come so far and seeing him have 1 more friend to walk with makes my heart so happy for him. 🚩WE ARE NOT ANIMAL CONTROL. We are completely SEPARATE entities.

💘MILLIE💘 ADOPTABLE You can really tell that all of her fosters effort has paid off. Miss Millie is completely coming out of her shell. 🐚 We even hear that when she’s really happy she puts her biscuit making into overdrive and uses ALL 4 paws. 🐾 This is what fostering is all about…..making a difference. Taking a scared kitty who was in pain(we didn’t know it at the time) and super crabby, Millie was not a fan of many people and we quickly learned why. She had horrible teeth that were causing her pain, she wasn’t a happy camper. But in her time with her foster, she has shown that she really is a very nice cat. 🐈 She is even seeking out loves and pets from her foster now. ♥️
Update. all adopted. Alfie, Cleo and Jasper.... this little trio of kitties came into Mason County Animal Control last week and are the sweetest things. They are about 13 weeks old. They are extremely affectionate and curious. Go meet them!! Unlike puppies, kittens are best adopted in pairs. ✨️But just know, cats can get pregnant as early as 16 weeks old, so️ Miss Cleo will be separated from her brothers very soon.✨️ Alfie (gray tiger stripe "mask") Cleo(half gray face) Jasper (half tiger stripe face) M.C.A.C office hours: Mon.

Simba may have a grumpy 😠 face but he really is a sweet boy. 🥰 He had come into Animal Control completely matted so I gave him a shave down. Of course he finds his litter box a comfy resting place 🙄 And you may not know this, but they don't use actual littler in their boxes because that would clog up the drains if it were to get in there. They use rabbit feed pellets instead. It breaks down really easy. Anyways...interested in adopting this sweet boy?
