Simon

Well just over 7 weeks from his Urinary blockage and several hospital stays Simon is doing ok. He still is not peeing like a normal cat but we, meaning my Vet and myself have decided that as long as he is peeing and not uncomfortable we are leaving him alone. I make sure he pees every morning before he is allowed outside and we will take it a day at a time. I have finally stopped his meds and he is not peeing any less so we will see how it goes over the next week without them.

Here is is pictured with his Vet Dr. Paula Cunningham..

Tramp

Tramp is going to be 21 sometime this spring, not sure of the month. She was 4 when we got her in the summer of 1995. She rules the roost here. She still hisses at Simon if he gets too close to her. She will give him a smack just to remind him who is the boss lady..
She loves her perch on the chair looking out the window and loves a sunny location. She sleeps a lot of the time now but still enjoys a snuggle with Mom.

Caley wearing her collar

Caley doesn't look unhappy with the collar, it is certainly much better than the cone of shame we got from the Vet clinic even if it did have red paw prints on it.. Only 12 more days before her sutures come out.. Hopefully not that long until we find out what the "nasty" lump was..

Caley

Caley had a rough day yesterday. She had a fractured canine tooth which was removed, she had 3 lumps removed, two were lipomas and the third to quote my Vet was "nasty" (that was the one in the picture in the previous post). That incision is the lowest one in this picture. Dr. Paula got wide margins just in case.. Paws crossed this turns out ok for my girl. The tissue was sent away so we will find out just what it is.

Poor girl was pretty painful last night after the hydromorphone wore off and then the metacam I gave her did not seem to help at all. So I got the tramadol out and that helped to settle her down about 1am. One more this morning and she is doing well.

On Friday I picked up the Nutri-vet Protective Collar  to use instead of the Cone of shame. I had Chauncy test it out.. I put peanut butter on various places of his body, side, belly and back and he could not get any of it and he sure tried. This is a GREAT tool to use to prevent access to those areas. Caley can still get at her paws so you would need something else if that was the spot you were tying to prevent access to.. All round good product! Here is a picture of it. Caley is not up to modeling it yet... read she did not want to co-operate with the photographer, but who can blame her she just had surgery.

It is Caley's turn.

Caley had a lump (she has several actually) that was Vet checked as they all are about 6 months ago. Last weekend I noticed the boys snuffing her side and when I looked the lump was all ulcerated and oozing.. So Dr. Paula checked out and it needs to come off. So since we are taking this one off there are two more that are fatty tumors that are going to be removed at the same time.

Here is a pic of the nasty one.  Tomorrow morning they will all be gone..

The latest news on Simon is that he is still not peeing the way he should be. His meds have been changed around a bit. He will pee small amounts and he never empties his bladder. Hoping the med change will help but no difference yet.
