Purr Request
I took Bandit to her new TED today (and I was *VERY* favorable impressed
with their entire organization), "Just Cats" in The Woodlands, TX. The tech was extremely knowledgeable and gentle, the vet was *very* thorough - the physical exam included checking her temp (with an ear thermometer rather than a cold glass one up the bum), eye check, ear check, thyroid check, teeth check, kidney check, "privates" check, heart & lung check, blood pressure check, and parasite check (with a flea comb). Bandit is a terrible patient (with a nickname like Bit*h Cat From H*ll, what did you expect? ;) - but they were not at all afraid to handle her, they did so very calmly and professionally. They also took blood and urine to check her BUN, Creatine, glucose levels, etc. All this for only $200 (which for this area of the country is *dirt* cheap for all that - including comprehensive lab work!!) Anyway, please send some purrs that all her labs come back good. She's almost 15-years-old and the vet said she looked fine, but her heart rate was a bit fast, which could either have been a fear reaction (since she never goes much further away than my bed), or it could mean thyroid trouble. Hugs, CatNipped |

Purrs for lovely Bandit. My guess is that it was fear. My heart rate and
blood pressure go up if I am in hospital. They call it "white coat syndrome." It is pure fear, nothing more, nothing less. Tweed "CatNipped" wrote in message ...

Tweed Thank you, Tweed. Yes, I think maybe so - my kitties are terribly sheltered, they never set foot outside the house, so I think just the stress of driving to TED and then being prodded by strange people may have caused her heart to speed up.

I'm thinking they probably will be, she seems very healthy to me - she was just going to TED today for a 6 months check-up since she is now considered a geriatric patient and goes every 6 months rather than yearly now. Hugs, CatNipped |
