Under the weather

I'm home!

Sorry, I should have told you a couple weeks ago that I finally made it home. I came home May 2. Miss Candi brought me home that evening. It is so good to be home. "Mom" and "Dad" got us a new cat tree - it's huge. I love laying up top. "Mom" picks on me and calls me "poodle paw" from where they had to shave my paw to put the IV in. My boo-boo is pretty much healed up now. When I came home "mom" said it looked like I blew a golf ball out of my butt. She said the wound was round and deep enough for a golf ball to have come out of. That was 3 days after it first happened. It grossed "dad" out pretty bad.

"Mom" was a little worried about how much my bill was going to be but Miss Candi came up with a great idea. She knew "mom" is a web developer, so she asked "mom" about making a web site for my vet's office. "Mom" loved the idea, so she will be building the site at www.oakviewvetclinic.com - watch for it. I love to lay around "mom's" computer when she works, I just have to stay away from her chair, it has wheels that like to grab my fur!

Under the weather

I'm under the weather right now and will have to spend a few days at my least favorite place. I developed an abscess underneath my tail. The abscess itself wasn't discovered right away but my owner took me back to the vet 2 days after I had my annual shots. At first the vet thought it was a reaction to the FVRCP vaccine, so he gave me fluids and other meds to bring my 105 degree temperature down. I got to go home that afternoon. My owners kept a close watch on me. I didn't eat but I was drinking water and using my box. My "mom" would give me those awful pills and try to clean me up. I let her know that I sure didn't like her messing around with my tail. She did try to be very careful in that area. I even heard her mention that it looked like I had "diaper rash".

This morning my "mom" just wasn't happy, she didn't like the way I looked. I heard her call my "foster-mom" Miss Candy. Miss Candy works at that place I don't like to go to. "Mom" asked if I could ride in with her. "Mom" was very carefully picking me up and carrying me to my carrier when I made this awful sploosh sound. "Mom" thought I puked - little did she know my boo-boo burst open. Did it ever smell awful! Poor "mom" she had to clean that mess up off the family room floor - good thing it isn't carpeted.

Miss Candy told "mom" I would probably have to stay a couple days. Meeeoooooowwwwww............
