I scared my mom Sunday night. I woke her up around 2:00 am gagging and wheezing. She checked my mouth and throat and couldn't find anything, but I did this all night. Mom Paula called the vet as soon as they opened Monday morning and they said to come in around 9:10 am. Mom Paula decided to give me a treat to see if I could eat and swallow. I chewed 2 treats and I've been fine since then!!! The vet lady said that my temperature was slightly elevated (+0.1 degrees) and that either I had the beginnings of an URI (although there are no symptoms) or that I had some hard food stuck the wrong way in my throat and chewing the treats dislodged it. See, treats are great for our health!!! Would make a great advertisement, wouldn't it?
Mom stayed home with me all day to watch over me. I liked having her home, but I don't recommend this particular method.
I don't think I like this red thing, though. Every time I get in it, someone in a white coat pokes and prods me! I go back to the vet on Friday for my final kitten vaccination.
Pee ess - Mom Paula had a biopsy last week for a skin lesion on her stomach. It came back as cancerous (Squamous Cell Carcinoma) and she goes back to the dermatologist Wednesday afternoon to have more tissue removed. Please keep her in your purrs and purrayers.
We will purray for your Mom, Truffle! We hope the removal goes without a hitch.
ReplyDeleteYou look kinda sad in prison like that, MOL! But I bet if you bat your baby blues, somehuman will let you out PDQ.
You know, those really sharp little things at the very edges of your sweet paws? Well, those can be really useful when somehuman tries to put you in a PTU or drag you out of one to give you a ::whisper:: shot.
Just sayin'.
We are purring and sending healing energy to Mom Paula.
ReplyDeleteYou are such a cutie, Miss Truffle!
Major purrs to your Mom, Truffle. She hasn't had a whole lot of luck this year at all, and we know you are the bestest, cutest thing to happen to her, so you look after her now!
ReplyDeleteOh, WOW. We are purrrrrrring and purrrraying like mad for your Mom. She could use a break about now.
ReplyDeleteppuurrrrrrrrrrr
Thank goodness you are okay, Truffle. We're sending lots of purrs and will keep your Mummy in our prayers. Keep us updated!
ReplyDeleteOh! We are purrin ya are OK!
ReplyDeleteWe hope that is the end of the wheezing and gagging, Truffle. Are you allergic to sleeping with Mom? Kindof kidding.
ReplyDeleteWe will purr for your Mom and her skin cancer. Hopefully it will be routine and no further troubles. Is she having it removed by Mohs surgery? When they do that, they check to be sure everything is removed right at the time, and it can be done in the office. But it takes a specialist.
I am purring lots for your human. I hope that once the dermatologist gets more tissue, that is the rest of it!
ReplyDeleteBTW, yeah, those carriers... no fun. I do like the idea of treats being good for you, though!
OMC ! Truffle ! First Read , I'm about to have heart attack ! Thanks COD ! You are Okay !

Please Take Care
