Prayers for Claudia, Darren and Comet. She has been evacuated due to the Calgary floods and is staying with her brother-in-law.
It has been forever since I opened a condo. I finally got a computer at home since my other one died, but for some reason, I can't sign in to FDMB. I have to figure out what is going on. Meanwhile, I am at work so I can update what has been happening.
Simon is doing pretty well. His appetite had really gone bad, but he is doing much better and eating the majority of his fuds. I think his arthritis is really bothering him and the adequan shots don't seem to be helping as much anymore. Vet suggested acupuncture in conjunction with the adequan. I'm thinking about it but money is tight right now, so I'm not sure if I will be able to swing it.
As most of you know, I adopted a shelter cat, Missy, a few weeks ago. Immediately when I got home, she started crying out alot when she was eating. I brought her back to the vet at the shelter and he said her teeth were ok. I brought her back home and she continued being in pain. I brought her again to the shelter and saw a different vet that is a cat specialist. She took one look at Missy's mouth and said she will probably need multiple extractions. I can't believe the first vet was so stupid!! Because the shelter stands behind all pre-existing problems, Missy was able to go see another vet for a dental and I didn't have to pay anything
. I really liked the vet and Missy had a dental done on Thursday. She had 3 teeth extracted and all her toothies cleaned. The main problem is that she also diagnosed Missy as having a mild to moderate case of stomatitis. I really don't know anything about that disease but I have been reading up on it. Right now, Missy is on antibiotics and then will have a round of prednisone after that. I will see the vet again in a month. She mentioned that if the problem continues, Missy may have to have more teeth out and even possibly ALL her teeth. Poor baby! Shelter will continue to pay for all treatments. She is doing pretty well right now and is eating and not crying out. She is also on bupe so that helps.
Sorry this is such a long post but there has been so much going on!! I am supposed to be going out of town tomorrow for a family reunion up in the North Carolina mountains. I am really nervous about leaving, but DH will be in charge at home. He is unable to go because of all the problems with his mother, sister, and nephew right now. Things are just so stressful that I can't begin to tell you about everything. It reads like a soap opera. I'll tell you more later.
Lots of love to everyone here on LL. I may not be able to post again until I get back from my trip. I'll try to post from my phone.
