Wordless Wednesday Kittens and Uncle Doobie

MORNING NAP TIME

(Taken late this morning... Sshhh.  Kitties gone back to sleeps.)

Silly and Beautiful Kitties Post

Lulu (top kitty) and Joey vying to get out of the bathroom at the same time.

Joey isn't showing any symptoms at all from his odd ordeal the other day. 

He's back to his playful clowning self.

 Annie by the living room window.  Isn't she beautiful?

My vet had an open house on Saturday.. forgot my camera - They had set up some stuffed animals on the surgery tables and it was really fun and informative.  While at the open house, Dr. Johnson graciously gave me deworming meds for all four kittens for the price of one kitten.  He also let me place flyers at the reception desk.  He's also interested in seeing my artwork and possibly displaying it on the wall!

The paw print in the logo is actually a copy of Dr. Johnson's doggy!

From my vet's website:

"WIllowbend Animal Hospital was established by Dr. Michael R. Johnson in August of 2012.  Dr. Johnson and his staff understand that since our pets cannot speak for themselves, the veterinary health care team must speak for them.  We believe that each pet deserves the opportunity to enjoy optimal health. We view each patient as a unique individual, in regard to their personality, health and lifestyle. Every patient deserves our best, all the time. This philosophy impacts and dictates everything we do." 

I gave the kittens their de-worming meds Sunday night.  They all seemed to handle it really well. Annie's tummy doesn't seem bloated now and Little Laura gained some more weight too.

Doobie and Annie May hung out together the other day, just walking around the house side by side like Doobie was just a big kitten, sniffing things and looking for something to do. Soo cute. Last night as she trotted past him, I asked Doobie if he liked Annie.  He moved his head toward her to lick her back and licked the end of her tail instead!

Well, longer blog post later... Gotta get these flyers ready to mail to other vet clinics in town.  Please purr for the kittens and for uncle Doobie that they find their forever homes furry soon.

Purrz,

Katie Kat.

Thankful Thursday Kittens and Stuff

 

Joey relaxing hours after he spent the morning limping on his hind leg. Since I only heard a blood curdling yell and no other noises, wish Lil Joe could tell me if he fell and banged his hip or just got the worst leg cramp in kitty history.

He sure scared the heck out of me!!! I was crying and so worried that something horribly awful had happened. After I updated how Joey had started walking and jumping around, I love Fuzzy Tales comment, "We're sure this is a huge relief--take a deep breathe...in...out...in...out. LOL."

That night he had a growth spurt which might point to muscle cramps and growing pains. According to some websites, cats can have leg cramps just like us people. Anyone know a kitty that has had muscle cramps?

Joey does have the longest legs and is very long waisted. 
So is his sister Lulu.

Lulu was the only one who relaxed on the scale. All her siblings wanted back down!

Annie was 3.03 and Sweet Little Laurie at only 2.13. (playing with boxes yesterday in the living room)

Everyone gained a little weight since Saturday before last and all four were doing great with no upper respiratory symptoms until last night. Now Joey's having some yuckies in his nose again. Good thing Dr. Johnson gave me a second box of Clavamox (two Saturdays ago). This box isn't mixed up yet so it will be fresh. In spite of this slight set back in Joey's URI recovery, will be concentrating on finding these four kitties furever Mommies. There are several very good Vet clinics;to send flyers to - hopefully this week.

And Doobie is doing really well after his neutering... his digestive system has calmed down too. Now a week later, he is having normal bowel movements for the first time!!! I am so thankful that I can finally concentrate on finding Doobs his very own forever home too.

Doobs watching the kittens play the day before his surgery.

Here he is resting last Thursday evening, after his surgery. 

The vet's assistant at Spay and Neuter of Kansas thought Doob's name should be Hoss! Well he actually lost a pound after the surgery, but he might have gained it back. I still think of him as Davey the Brave, big goofy sweetheart...he loves watching the kittens and wants to play too.

Purrz n more Stuffs later.

Joey Update - Running and Jumping now.

He's still favoring his leg, but he's running and jumping around now... not as fast as he usually does though.

Thank God.  What a relief.  Will keep you posted.

Purrz,
Katie Kat.

EMERGENCY UPDATE - Joey just hurt himself

First two good updates:

Doobie was neutered last Thursday and is doing really well, save now I think he is constipated versus having loose stool.... working on that...

Lulu had another eye exam on Saturday:  her eye is looking really good.  She has a scar on her right eye that will make vision blurry, but thank God she didn't loose it.  Dr. Johnson said as bad as the scar was - she was on the borderline of loosing her eye. Thank you so much for your purrs and support for Lulu.

*****UPDATE: JOEY IS SLOWLY LIMPING ON HIS LEG NOW. 
Will take him to see Dr. Johnson if Joey doesn't improve.*****

EMERGENCY:
Joey hurt himself.  The kittens were in the bathroom where they stay for the night.  They hadn't been let out yet to run around in the living room... I heard a horrific yell from the bathroom.  Went in and found Joey unable to put weight on his left hind leg.  He refuses to walk on it.  I picked him up and checked his leg.  The leg moves and he doesn't cry out.  He may need X-rays.

THERE IS NO MONEY FOR THE VET.... I HAVE NO PERSONAL FUNDS UNTIL THE 24TH.

ALL CARE CREDIT FUNDS ARE GONE.
THE DEFERRED INTEREST HAS TAKEN ALL FUNDS.
ACCOUNT IS NOW OVER THE CREDIT LIMIT.


PLEASE PRAY FOR JOEY.

Thank you.
