Sigh Sick Again

I went to the vet for a blood test and they say I have a thryoid problem and thats why I was losing weight. So after some figuring and rtial and error I am on a half tab every morning. I am very good about takign ym meds as they are put in a pill pocket attached to a greenie and I get extra greenies as well.

I'm starting to put my weight back on but I'm not as big as I used to be anymore. I am however flatly refusing to allow momma to administer Sub-Q fluids as I HATE it!!!!!!

Oh no it gets even worse folks, after getting retested they also found that I'm anemic. I have to take a Kitty Tinic twice a day. The vet says they don't know what causing the anmeia but it could be my kidney problems. I think these meds a really yucky and always drink lots of water after I have to take them!

Going Blind

Mum and Dad have been very worried about me. Last year I lost my eyesight in my right eye completely and now my left eye is developing cataracts. There are many times I cant see well enough to get around the house without bumping into everything and missing doorways. Mum is very sad to see me this way but I keep telling her not to worry, she just thinks I want tuna though - I'm not complaining about that!

Mum took me to my specialist vet, a very nice man but it's a LONG drive - took up over 2 hours to get there! He told mum that they can do an operation on my eye - but it has only an 80% chance of success - to restore my vision in the left eye, but mum and dad don't know how they can possibly afford it! It costs nearly $3000!!!!

I'm rooting for a rich benefactor myself...

Purrs....

PS - those silly kittens are still around - how annoying!!!

And the answer is.....

Well after a long arduous journey with my dad to the vets guess what... cataracts are not the problem! I have some kind of eye infection in my eyes that may have been the cause of why my right eyes lens detached - I'm permanently blind in that eye now. I am on drops to I dont have to have the eye sugecly removed unless something gets worse. I have to go back to the vet tomorrow for another blook test just had one done MOnday. They need to test me for a score of things to find out whats causing this infection, FeLV, FIV, Bartonella and other things - cant really read vets handwriting past this point. Mum is so worried shew cant understand how I could have contracted an infection since I dont have contcat with other cats and my sis and bro are fine. At least no surgery! Thanks to all those kitties who were purring for me, the magic of purrs works - no surgey for me!

Lots of Love and Head butts,

And it gets worse

Well I went to the vet today, an experience that never proves good. After being man-handled (the vet needed to feel Jabb's bladder and take blook to check on her kidneys) I was prodded by not one but two vets who flashed bright lights in my eyes. Diagnosis bad, not only do I have cataracts, my right eye the one dad was very worried about has a detached les which has floated forward and caused swelling - diagnosis - I cant see anythign out of it - I could have told them that but di they listen? - Well so now after much phone hassling I am off to a specialist tomorrow and it looks like surgery. Mum and Dad are very worried about me beacuse it's risky for me to go under anesthesia due to my kidneys but they feel my quality of life now has gotten very poor.

Mew for me tomorrow around 3pm EST as I go to my appointment...

The Good the Bad and the Poopy

Well I have a complaint, that is my cataract s have gotten bad in my right eye and I can't see well anymore, this means that fecking pooper can sneak up on me even easier! Well I just don't know what to think of him, he and Natasha were going crazy a few nights ago and I gave both of them a good walloping just so they remember who's in charge here! Well now what happens but the little pooper seems to have decided he wants to snuggle with me.... he keeps coming up and rubbing his face against mine and he even tried to wash me... well there is only so much an old lady like myself can tolerate!

I'm spending some quality alone time now...

PS from Mum - worried about Jabba, she's looking shaggy and she's doesn't seem to want to be around anyone although she purrs like a motor when you pet her, she just isn't looking for the pets anymore, I'm taking her to the vet on MOnday so they can check on her kidneys to be on the safe side.

Oh Brother part Duex

Not liking this brother business - mum is cross with me because I hissed at him - twice - so I'm off to sulk in the kitchen.

Jabba

Brother?

What do I think of the new guy well - unlik emy neurotic living compnaion - Natasha - I don't much care - had a little sniff aroud the area and a quick peek when dad had his back turned and whats to see- a skinny smelly flea infested bag of bones - like that could ever take away my food or my cuddles from mom and da - not a chance! So do I care - not one purr!

No Food Can Fix This

I never thought it possible but there seems no way food can solve this problem. The vet says I have cataracts and may eventually lose my sight, dad said he thought something was wrong with my eyes since they never seem to get all slanty like that furry thing I live with eyes do. I'm taking it all in stride maybe if I play it up a bit I can get Tuna out of it. Vet says I put on a pound too - never did like the vet.

Vet-tastrophy

Mom decided I wasn't eating as much as usual and I was drinking too much so she insisted on taking me to the vet. I thought I had made it perfectly clear that I was in no way to ever to be taken there again after my last visit but I guess mom forgot because off we went. Now I've had my ears cleane d- which wasn't so bad actaully, my nails clipped - whihc was so bad actually, and all sorts of dreadful tests done. I hissed at the vet when he tried to poke at my tummy, I hardly let mom and dad touch my tummy like I'm gonna let someone else do it! The vets are truely evil after all that they have ruined my food too !!!!! They told mummy I need to be on special food - welll guess what bleh to that! I intend to protest thoroughly.... after my nap.

Glorious food part I

Oh Food how I love Thee
I wait patiently
For my mommy or daddy
And drink all the Juice-y
