We could use some donations for our ongoing care of our foster kitties 🙏🏻 Our last big dental surgeries took all the funds we were able to take in and we have none for our routine preventative health visits and any issues that come up. We just had Cassidy, the silly girl pictured who sleeps with face plants like the cats from the Garfield comic, for her yearly exam and a Rabies vaccine. Cassidy deals with chronic feline interstitial cystitis, but is feeling pretty good right now. This condition consists of inflammation of the bladder and causes irritation and spams of the bladder without any infection or crystals in the urine, but includes the presence of blood when flared up and is very uncomfortable. Luckily, her meds are keeping her pretty calm right now and we didn’t need to add anything else to the list. Otherwise her exam was normal.
Cyrus pictured peeking from the indoor part to the outdoor part of the kennel he lives in, had to be seen for an unspecified pain issue that had him off his food. Cyrus is a very nervous cat who doesn’t like to show that he isn’t feeling well, but changes in eating habits are an indication that something is wrong and I take them very seriously around here. A course of anti-inflammatories seemed to help as he began eating normally when he was on them, but once stopped, his appetite issues came back. We then took x-rays to rule out any arthritic changes and they looked great. He has a bit of laxity or looseness in his patellar ligaments, so his knee caps move a bit from side to side, but his knees did not appear inflamed. We think he might have tweaked some soft tissue that needs the anti-inflammatories for a longer period of time and he is doing well on them so far, eating like a champ.
If you would like to contribute anything you can to our vet bills, currently totaling $365.36, we would be so grateful!
