Without expensive imaging, all they can tell me is she has some bone spurs that might indicate injury to her lower spine and tail bones and might be impinging on her nerves in the area. Very like sciatic nerve pain according to the senior vet who reviewed the xrays. Long term anti inflammatories, to be reviewed, but no surgical intervention necessary. With the morphine on board she is walking normally, and has demolished two sachets of her preferred wet food, and is head bumping all her favourite things, like my canister of pens and the legs of furniture. And me.
Apparently the daily med is so tasty - and in liquid form, that cats have been known to beg for more. Uh huh. We'll see...
That'll be $538 thank you very much. Uh huh, here's $250, pay day is in two more weeks, lol. Lovely when the vets know I'm good for it!!
Cant say Ive seen a stoned cat...
But I have a Boxer Puppy who was definitely not in control of her legs. It was a laugh and a half.. She had been drugged for her flight from the South island to North.
So pleased they have sort of figured out what is going on..
My Madam is curled up on my legs with the hottie under the blanket.. I doo Love winter when it means lots of snuggles. But Im no fool, I know she just wants to steel my warmth lol
I have 9 places to go to tomorrow... Ill have to do some before I get my glasses and some afterwards.. Have to put x-rays in the queue as well.
They told me I couldn't, so I did.!!
