Fortnight
41
Saturday
I've had a bald patch on my back leg for a week or so
now, I keep catching mum looking at it and run away so
she can't drag me to the vet. Well, last night she got
to look and it was all swollen. Guess where I got took
this morning? Yes - you guessed it, I went to the vets.
I got some antibiotics for the possible abscess on my
back leg. Mum also bought me some cool new toys from their
pet shop as well. My favourite was a white fluffy thing
with legs on a piece of elastic. It looks like a 6-legged
spider on red elastic. It didn't take me long before I
chewed through the piece of elastic though! Mum and I
spent hours playing today.
I spent this evening asleep on the settee. I was dreaming
of catching mice in my sleep, as my paws were tapping
and I made some strange faces!
Sunday
I wasn't well at all last night. I was sick 8 times in
my bedroom. Mum came down this morning and cleaned it
all up, just as she finished I was sick again. Mum and
dad took me to the vets and they kept me in for stomach
x-rays. They think I may have swallowed something or have
something in my stomach so they are keeping me in tonight
for observation and tomorrow I have an x-ray and maybe
surgery. I was really lonely tonight. The nurse brought
me a blanket and I crawled underneath it and started to
miaow at her. She gave me a cuddle.
I
don't feel well, and I want my mum.
Monday
Gosh,
I'm really hungry. They haven't given me any food today
as they need my stomach to be empty so they can X-ray
it. They are going to X-ray me to see if they can see
what made me so sick. If they can't see anything then
I will have to undergo surgery so they can see what is
the matter.
Oooooooh,
I feel sore and unwell. They didn't see anything from
the x-ray apart from a full stomach so they operated on
me. They have shaved my stomach from my front paws to
my bottom and my front legs so they could take blood from
me.. I look like a poodle gone wrong! I have a big cut
down my tummy as well, which is really painful. The vet
told mum and dad that they didn't find anything in my
stomach so I didn't eat anything I shouldn't have (a very
painful way to find THAT out), but there
was a lump that they removed from my tummy. They think
it's a swollen lymph node but they aren't too sure, but
it shouldn't have been there so it has been removed.
Tuesday
Home time!!
I got to see mum and dad today and they took me home.
I slept on the settee all day as I felt tired and sore.
Thursday
Starting to feel a little better today. Still very sore
but I am able to stretch a bit more today. Still sleeping
a lot, as it is pain free. I have barely eaten since I
came home as I have a very sore throat. Swallowing is
very painful and eating isn't too pleasant either.
Friday
Went
back to the vets today for a checkup. Mum told them about
my eating and swallowing and they gave me some paste to
line my throat… more stuff to be shoved down my throat….
Not good. Mum also got me some mushy food so I don't have
to eat biscuits with a sore throat.
I also got taken to see the Reiki lady. I felt much better
after a healing session. In less pain and more playful.
I even ate my tea when I got home… boy, was I hungry!
Saturday
There were loads of bangs tonight. There has been bangs
for a few nights but tonight was intense. I was quite
nervous but mum and dad were there to look after me so
eventually I curled up and went to sleep on top of my
box. I think it's bonfire night in the UK in a few days
and the bangs are fireworks. There is no respect for little
cats though, fireworks scare us bigtime… Glad I was inside
tonight.
Sunday
I had a bad night again last night. I was sick again and
I had an upset stomach. I felt sorry for mum having to
clean it up again. I didn't realise I had such a bad stomach
until I had used the litter tray and then sat on the white
windowsill and left a long streak of number 2. Woops….
Mum was shocked when she saw it, I don't usually do things
like that. I tried to give her a cuddle to say sorry.
I think it worked. Spent the day asleep on the windowsill
above the radiator. I don't feel 100%, so it is a good
way to pass the day.
Tuesday
It
was bonfire night here in the UK today. Mum and dad sat
in the back bedroom watching the firework display at the
club behind. I found a safe place on the landing and tried
to sleep until all the bangs had finished. They went on
for ages. I was glad that I wasn't on my own. My fur is
starting to grow back and I am not as sore as I was. I
can jump now without pain, which is a good thing.
Thursday
Argh!!!
I
got dragged to the vets AGAIN last night. There is a lump
under my scar from the operation but it turns out to be
only soft tissue… Mum was panicking, but I'm OK. It's
been raining the last few days, and I have spent the days
asleep on my cushion. The best place to be in the bad
weather. Mum has been giving me loads of cuddles which
is really cool.
