indoors Arrival Story: My original family had two very little girls that were just way too rough on me. I was only a wee kitten myself at the time. So I escaped the house and ran across the street and right into a nasty pack of dogs!
The lady rescued me and the mommy of the little girls called my mommy. She came and got me and took me to the vet and I have been with her ever since! Bio: When the vet originally saw me as a kitten he thought for sure I'd never have use of my tail again. But I surprised everyone and healed purrfectly. I love strutting around the house waving my 'flag pole' for all to see.

You know this has to be one of our favorite holidays, being that mom has a wee bit O'Irish in her.
So to wish you all a happy St. Patrick's Day we wanted to share on of mom's favorite Irish Blessings with all our furriends!
May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back,
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
May the rains fall soft upon your fields,
And, until we meet again,
May God hold you in the hollow of His hand.
You see I started kinda hiding & have been throwing up a lot of foamy type stuff. So she whisked me away.
They weighed me & said I was 8 pounds. The last actual weight they had on me was about 4 years ago & I weighed 10 pounds. But the vet said a 2 pound weight loss in 4 years wasn't very concerning but if I lose more it could be.
Mom was shocked that it had been 4 years since they had weighed me. I've been in there several times since then. mol
Well they said my temperature was normal & they took some blood for what they called a Geriatric Panel. They put me on some Laxatone to help in case I have furballs & some antibiotics.
The blood work came back & the vet said it's not to the warning level but it is something we need to be monitoring.
Mom isn't exactly sure what these numbers mean but here they are:
He said the liver ones were fine but the kidney ones were a bit elevated.
BUN was 42 he said normal is around 25.
Creatnine was 2.2 and he said normal was around 1.8
So they aren't super elevated, but enough he wants me on a KD type of diet. I'm not fond of the food though. So mom isn't sure what to try.
They vet said my two top "fangs" are trying to come out & I should get them removed along with two teeth in the back. He said that might be why I'm not eating real well because it hurts.
But now that we know my kidney levels are up he said we'd have to make sure I had lots of fluid before, during & after any use of anesthesia so it would help my kidneys get rid of it better.
Mom isn't sure when she can have them remove those teeth. She's hoping within a month, but feels horrible that I'm hurting in the mean time. She's actually living with a couple of bad teeth that need pulled herself & she says she wouldn't wish that on anyone or anyfur! mol
So if you could spare a few purrs for me when you think of it I'd appreciate it. I'm not doing bad, but could be better.
