I feel really good right now. I have just returned from the vet, I
took Mr Bucket today because he has seemed off colour for several
weeks and certainly lost a lot of weight. Then this morning they
added another tinned cat food to the list and that was one he has
eaten.
Anyway, after many tests, all save the thyroid one show normal for his
age and he really thinks the thyroid one will be normal too but might
as well do it, he is just old and ageing fast. So that was really
very good news, expensive news, nearly $300 worth of news, but good
just the same ! The vet always thought he should have been called
Onslow,not Bucket, but this afternoon he suggested a double barrel
name, Oscar-Onslow, as he bit him :)
I am so glad to hear that Bucket came through the procedures well, but
his normal feisty self. That good news counters with the one from MD.
My daughter's family adopted a pair of 4 month kittens from a Rescue
group about six weeks ago.They were absolutely adorable when I was in
MD, but the male had problems. Initially it was with the eyes, and we
drove outside DC to a pet ophthalmologist. Apparently the kitty had
herpes, inherited from his feral mother. All was well when I left,
although Gonzo snoozed a lot, Katy made up for it with her energy.
I have now discovered that Gonzo was getting fatter and fatter, and the
vet said he has an incurable disease, drained fluid from the abdomen and
is scheduled to be put down today.
It does make you wonder a little about the rescue groups. Apparently the
Mom was feral and very pregnant. She gave birth almost inmmediately, and
the organisation put the kitties through all the normal stuff, including
sterilisation. That is why they couldn't be adopted until they were four
months old.
I think they were well-meant, but in all likelihood, it would have been
better for the pregnant Mom not be saved. I haven't a clue what Marcella
has paid to the various vets, plus the "adoption fee" ( which covered
the pre-adoption medical care). I do know they can afford it, but my
heart goes out to my grandkids today!

Good questions. But, sorry for the grandchildren, and the kitties. It's
always hard when pets have to be put down, or something happens to them.
