UPDATE: Bush Baby (was Purrs Please)
Smokie Darling (Annie) wrote:
Well, the vet called... Her leukemia test came back negative (YAY!). When they were doing an exam on her, the vet thought she might have a cold, til I told her that was just beef baby food we'd tried to rub on her mouth to get her to eat. Then the vet opened her mouth... Yeegads, how can such a teeniny kitty (2.8 pounds) have such horrendous breath? TED said she is smaller than a 'healthy' 6 month old kitten, but otherwise she is pretty dang healthy... So... It's like this... A tooth growing in crooked, never kicked out the baby tooth, created ONE abscess. A huge mass of foxtail stickers, in the roof of her mouth (hard palate?) created another abscess. So, she had a couple of teeth pulled, the foxtail mass removed (vet said it was in excess of 10). I guess while we were out of town, Bush Baby wasn't letting my Mother-in-law give her skritches and remove the foxtails in her fur. I just did it as I was petting her. Poor little baby... I never would have thought to look into her mouth. Guess my dream the other night was prophetic (I was dreaming that someone was trying to hurt the strays and ferals, and I kept getting them and bringing them back to my house to protect them - never ending job, that). So, I can go and get her in a couple of hours, and dose her baby food for a while (however long the doc says). Smokie Darling (Annie) - not sure what it cost, but I don't care. My little Bush Baby is alright, and that is all that matters to me. Lots of healing purrs for Bush Baby. You are taking such good care of her, Annie. Best wishes, Polonca and Soncek |

Lots of healing purrs for Bush Baby. You are taking such good care of her, Annie. Best wishes, Polonca and Soncek Hee... You know, I'd been putting off another update. Twice, since getting home, I nearly lost her (Tweed, don't know what she and I would have done without your rehydration recipe). Every time I thought she was doing better, she'd take a turn for the worst. Well, it's been two days, she's eating her weight in baby food and tuna (three times a day). Still has a bit of trouble chewing, but the vet says it's normal. She isn't wild about the dry food, but that should come around soon enough. Right now, she's eating, and drinking, and I'm a happy girl. Smokie Darling (Annie) - now to see if we can put some weight back on her, poor dollbaby. |
