Your daily cat and kitten news

[Epona]

Jakey has major dental surgery in a few hours, I think the intention is to remove all his remaining teeth except his canines, I am dreading it - it will be a long procedure and he will have to be under anaesthetic for a long while. Please wish him luck.

 

[oryx]

Good luck to Jakey - hope it all goes well.

 

[Humberto]

get him some prawns for a reward

 

[fishfinger]

All the best Jakey!

 

[Schmetterling]

Good Luck!

George's nose is definitely getting blacker with age. That's normal?

It’s the same with Alfie, he gets more black spots with age on his pink skin. The vet said that’s normal in ginger cats.

Molly has to have that in 3 weeks. She's had it done twice before. No problems at all.

Just got back from the vet for Alfie’s annual check up. He is the picture of health at eight years of age, he just needs to lose some weight. It’s because I always fall for his bullshit.

Jakey is back from the vet, poor love is in a bit of a mess - only has his 2 lower canines left, the rest are all gone, his face is a bit puffy, he's drooling all over himself and hasn't eaten yet - I hope he will eat sometime tonight even if just a little. Poor sod.

Poor Jakey

Wishing him a speedy recovery, poor mite.

I offered a different wet food (fish flavour, rather than the recovery food upsell from the vet that my dad bought) and he is tucking in - he's dropping some but a lot of it is going in, so that is excellent.

I can tell the poor mite is in pain, he can't have any more painkillers until morning so we'll just have to ride it out. He nipped me (gummed me?) and that is something he's never once done in the 12 years he's lived here with us, and he's looking very glum (also out of character, he's usually a happy wee thing). Poor little love. Hopefully he'll be a bit less sore tomorrow.

(Oh also, £923!!!)

Teeth are expensive aren’t they but that does seem excessive- Yeti cost me £460 for four extractions and a thorough clean under anaesthetic and a course of antibiotics to give her, plus a bonus blood test and health screen while she was under. Her teeth are also excluded from her insurance

 

[Manter]

Also, after yowling, biting and scratching me every time I gave her antibiotics, she has been taking them suspiciously easily. Then I found out where she has been coughing them up and stashing them behind the sofa. Bloody cat.

 

[Epona]

Jakey is looking a lot better this morning - he ate breakfast (and his meds) enthusiastically and is alert and not wet with drool. His face is still a little puffy and he's not eating dry - that is ok, I didn't expect that with a sore mouth anyway. But yeah much better this morning.

 

[xsunnysuex]

My relief about Molly didn't last long. She stopped eating again yesterday. She has to eat to be able to give her the insulin. So after calling blue cross, off we go again. They told me to try and tempt her with her favourite food. And if she wasn't better today take her back.
As soon as we got her home last night she started vomiting blood. Clots and everything. My flat was covered. Called blue cross again expecting them to tell me bring her straight back. But nope. See how she goes and bring her back in the morning.
So, off we go again to Victoria. They have given her fluid under her skin, and strong painkiller jab and a anti sickness jab. We have to see how she is tomorrow morning. If she's no better she will have to be admitted again. We were told they will then have rescan her. Vet commented again the possibility of cancer.

Oh no, sounds like a nightmare. I hope she will be okay.

shiro's human family only post in japanese, which i have zero knowledge of. i can't get google translate to translate the whole page. I picked it up from the comments on the video.

blog post (in japanese) here

the first line of text is translated (by Google) as "Shiroga has traveled to the tea tiger and Nora" (Tea Tiger, the ginger cat who I understand was Shiro's brother, and Nora, the long haired female who was the mother of Shiro's youngest, were both reported as having died last year.

confirmed

Molly has been admitted again to the animal hospital. They are going to put her on a drip and pain relief.
Poor little moo is so miserable.
Vets going to call me tomorrow.
There was mention of maybe having to let her go... So hope it doesn't come to that.

Poor you, and after you were so relieved the other day! Seems a cruel twist of fate that your hopes were raised. I have my fingers crossed for you both.

Ditto what LeytonCatLady said above. Really sorry to hear it

I'm ever so sorry, I meant it for the joke thread. Please ignore.

Milo has come in this morning with a tick behind his ear. Anyone got any experience of removing them? Hoping to pop to the pet shop at lunch to get a tick remover, but tips appreciated
