Re: 3/1 Musette Amps~103
Vet visit went awesome!!! Have script for Levemir flexpens sitting in my purse right now, in fact when I asked about it Dr Adrian, went "Oh thats a GREAT insulin for cats!" of course we already knew that ...lol.
Yeah she is not a happy girl right now, not only did they mess with her mouth to look at her teeth they also found ear mites and a massive yeast infection in her ears so she got drops in them for the mites and additional drops to start on Saturday for the infection. Tested her when we got home and we are up to 235 oh well expected her to shoot through the roof on the trip there. However, they both lucked out today because my vet is one of the best in town but only has 3 vets the soonest they can get them in for the dentals is JUNE 11th!!! So nobody had to have blood drawn today, that will happen when they go in for the dentals themselves since they have an in-house lab. And right now it looks like no-body is going to loose any teeth, both just need a real good cleaning.
Weight for Musette was 8lbs 6oz which is up from the mere 6lbs she was when I adopted her, which is just perfect for her.
Weight for Maxwell was 16 lbs 8 oz although the vet said he could probably stand to gain another 2 lbs without being overweight which isn't too shabby since he was only 10.5 when he got here a year ago.
But the best part in the world was what the dentals are going to cost....hope you all are sitting down.....$120 per cat that includes all blood work, pain meds, antibiotics, and extractions if any. And because they are both diabetics not only will one vet be doing the procedures, one of the other vets will be monitoring their vitals while they are under. Which is why it is going to take them so long to get them in. They also told me that I can stay with them until they go under and if I want I can watch while they work on them since they have a glass observation room because they are also a teaching clinic so I can be with them through everything.
Since they know me so well there they will even let me go sit with them while they are in recovery. So I will be the last person they see before they go to sleep and the first person they see when they wake up in recovery.
Hopefully that will make both of them feel better about having to go to the vet's again to have surgery I know it will me. I really hated the idea of having to drop them off, have them in cages in the back until they were ready for them and then have to wait to bring them home again. Just knowing I will be there with them until they are ready to come back home makes me feel so much better.
Poor little Musette she clung to me like white on rice today and kept burying her head in my chest I think she was really scared she was just going to be dumped off again. Maxwell of course he was walking around the exam room doing his best to charm everyone, but he has been there before and knows momma will always take him home again. But he seemed really worried about his buddy Musette he would jump up on the table and give her kisses. And she cried out once when they put the drops in her ears and he came flying across the room and growled at the tech that was putting in the drops, he didn't try to swat or bite but he let it be known that they weren't going to hurt his buddy while he was there. He is such a good big brother to her.
Mel, Maxwell, Musette & The Fur Gang.
