Pippin's checkup
Pippin is now 7 years old, and officially "senior" (not to be confused
with "geriatric"). He accompanied me to his annual check-up, moaning and groaning, and occasionally howling. He tolerated the usual pokes and prods: teeth, eyes, ears look good. He got two booster shots for rabies and FeLV. And TED recommended bloodwork and urinalysis to check on his seniorness, and establish a baseline. Liver, thyroid, and all bloodwork looks good. He has a little bit of protein in his urine, TED says to have it checked again in 3-4 months, but not to worry about it now. So he's back to being his grumpy old self, when he's not being lovey after coming in from the rain. I am the Human Towel, but I cherish the time he lets me scritch him. Cheers Caroline S. |

LOL, Nikki uses me as her towel, too. Glad to hear Pippin is doing so well, but then he's just a youngster compared with my senior citizens. -- Marina, Frank, Nikki, and introducing: Mere! marina (dot) kurten (at) pp (dot) inet (dot) fi Pics at http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/frankiennikki/ and http://community.webshots.com/user/frankiennikki |

TuTu had her annual checkup and shots as well as another set of softpaws yesterday. Was she good? NO! She was so mad and so mean and she used all the swear words known to catdom -- plus she invented a few new ones. She got away from them once and she had to be sedated so Ted and her assistant could finish the job ted said her (Vet's) ego was crushed by her bad reaction. TuTu was caged and slept it off for three hours. Ted is a visiting Vet, so TuTu was home the whole time. When I let her out of the carrier, she skulked around the house looking for the evil duo. When they could not be found, she gradually returned to normal. Today she is her sweet old self. I was mentally exhausted. MLB |
