Gather round, my furriends, and hear my tail of woe:
On Tuesday I was unceremoniously whisked off to the Stabby Place. It was time for my arthritis shot (we switched to Medicam drops) and Mom had them steal my bloods. They took it from my neck this time! How uncivilized is that, I ask you?
The bloodwork results were good. One kidney is slightly enlarged and since my visit for heat stroke two months ago, my heart now murmurs. Purrsonally, I don't hear it say anything so I think maybe they are wrong about that, but I just started a half pill every day for it.
And the crowning indignity - they rolled me on my side to trim my back claws. I can handle my own pointy ends just fine, thank you very much!
Mom's note:
My poor beautiful orange boy. If there is a problem, it's always him.
Sounds like they have vampires over there. My paws are crossed that you won't have to go back fur a looong time!

Oh Toby, I know what it's like being dragged to the vet and having bloods stolen. I hope you're doing okay and you got lots of treats for everything you went through. ~Ernie
ReplyDeleteI'm glad nothing too awful showed up in your tests, Toby! I will tell you a secret: Binga needs to be restrained on her side to have claw trims! Don't mention that I told on her!
ReplyDeleteThe vet is never fun. We sure are glad your tests came back okay though, Toby!
ReplyDeleteOh sweet Toby, so sorry to hear about the ordeal! But I'm glad it's over now and your test results are good.
ReplyDeleteI am glad your blood test results were good, Toby. My vet steals the blood from my neck too.
ReplyDeletePoor Toby, they sound like vampires taking bloods from your neck. I am glad you are OK, sorry you need to take meds for your heart.
ReplyDeleteBenny has had a heart murmur for a number of years, but thankfully doesn't need medication for it. We're glad you're stable and doing well!
ReplyDeleteSo it WAS a bite! ;-)
ReplyDeleteElliott's heart murmurs too but he also has no idea what it's saying.
Toby, poor Toby! Sending you hugs and purrs to make you feel better after such indignities were foisted upon your lovely orange self!
ReplyDeleteToby darling. I'm so sorry visit to the Vet. It has become obvious to me...that as I age...I am going more. My vet insists on a mini Senior check up in January. Just a how do you do kinda visit no stabbies but lots of feelies and peepies. July is my stabbie appt and my weight is check boooooooo
ReplyDeleteHugs madi your bffff
Oh Toby, i"m so sorry they stole your bloods.. I hope you are feeling better soon *blows kisses*
ReplyDeleteSo ... Toby. Let me ask you this. Did they just TAKE your blood? I mean, did they ask first? They never ask me first -- and they don't sit and give their paw or ANYthing. Oh. And I'm not allowed to have breakfast before I go. It's terrible!!! Not only that -- they don't give it back, either. I just don't get it.
ReplyDeleteI hope you're feline ok now. Ha roo. Get it? That's to cheer you up. I've got to go tell Maggie that one!
Cammie!
They didn't ask purmission at all. So rude.
DeleteCommiserations, Toby. Those stabby places can be quite a trial but if they help you get better, than all the indignity is worth it! Love from a sympathetic Toffee and me.
