He's on antibiotics (he hates them, of course) and if he doesn't respond well enough by Monday, will be getting x-rays and further testing. His blood levels were normal except for his white count. His temperature was only 99 F. which is low for a cat. He did protest when TED was palpating his body. His teeth are good, with a little tartar, which took out one theory. We're worried about him, but Doc Stevenson is one of the best TEDs in the area and we have a lot of confidence in him. If you have some spare purrs, I think Berfert would appreciate them. Our crew is purring up a storm for him, and Merlin is staying with him at all times. Pam S. Special purrs for Berfert's quick recovery -- and for the care and attention from Merlin. MLB |
