Princess Pinot has an appointment with her Personal Physician- :( #15

[Pinot's Mom]

Little Miss Pinot thinks it's just SO inconvenient to add this to her BUSY day, but she just MUST get this taken care of! There is the most ANNOYING spot next to her left eye that simply WILL NOT go away. Just not acceptable!

Seriously, though, we noticed a red dot the other day above her eye - no biggie, poked herself with her claw when scratching....happens. Then today it seems the spot is bigger and raised with other areas around it. I don't think it's serious, but I would like to make sure she has the right cream for it, so off to the vet's we go at 11:45. Wish her luck!

[Queen of Poop]

Good Luck Miss Pinot. I hope it's nothing serious and you can carry on with your busy schedule.

[Randi]

Good luck, Pinot! A girl like you can't have spots in your face, so you'd better have it taken care of, and you will much better when it's gone.

I hope it's nothing serious, sweetheart.

[Freedom]

I would like to make sure she has the right cream for it, so off to the vet's we go at 11:45. Wish her luck!

That close to the eye, yup, get the right stuff.

Pinot, you will be back to your OWN schedule later today. Quick healing vibes coming your way, too.

Oh Pinot - we hope it's nothing serious - however, you MUST get that pretty face back in shape. Try not to have too much of an attitude with Mom & Dad about it - they are just looking out for your best interest. Go easy on the vet too - okay???

[Barbara]

Pinot we think it is humiliating to be put into a box and dragged to the whitecoats. We are sure you will be ok.

Allergies! Who knew?

It seems Pinot has some sort of allergic reaction to "something" - probably atmospheric and seasonal. Upon closer inspection Dr. Huson found more "spots" and said this is a type of allergic reaction only cats get and it affects the face most. There is a little inflamation around her left eye, though nothing in the eye itself. Looking at the records she MAY have had a lesser reaction, but the same thing, last fall.

So, Princess Pinot will be "pilled" once a day (steroid) for 5 days and then once every other day for the next 5.

She appreciates all the well wishes and will be contacting her lawyer about being put in that box. THE INDIGNITY!! Horrors!

[pomtzu]

Hey Pinot ~ Sparky here........

Well I certainly am relieved to hear that it's just something in the air (or in the grass), and nothing more serious. Enjoy those steroids - they'll make you hungry as a horse, and if you play it right and complain about being so hungry, the keepers of the kibble will most likely feed you more- just to keep you from complaining so much. Milk it, girl!

When I had my allergic reaction I had to take those steroid things too, and was always scrounging around for more grub. I don't know if it was worth it tho - those bees or wasps that get caught in your throat on the way down, hurt like the devil when they sting. I don't want to go there or do that again - ever!!

Take care my friend,
Love & Woofs from your friend Sparky

Princess Pinot, I'm sorry to hear that you have allergies but hopefully the pills will fix you right up. I too have had to take them because sometimes my chin and lips break out. I don't have allergies but an autoimmune disease. I'm sure you'll feel better very soon.

Your Feline Friend,
Pearly Girl

Dear Miss Pinot - surely you are allergic to hunting foxes!

Hope you feel better soon, pretty girl - and take your medications like the lady you are. Your purrents just want to help you get well.

[Freedom]

Glad it is something "mild" and not serious. Darn allergies!

Pinot, forget about the box, once you've had a few pills, you'll be calling the lawyer about THOSE!

Good luck pilling her, Maggie.

[katladyd]

I would hide her Catberry. I'm sure she has Groucho on speed dial.

[phesina]

We are so glad you are getting better, lovely Ms. Pinot. We hope you will be in FINE form for the Great Haggis Feast and other adventures!

You really should consult with Groucho about the indignities you have been made to suffer because of all this.

[mathteach]

Speedy recovery!

[Pinot's Mom]

This is breaking my heart. Pinot does not react well to meds in general and steroids are no exception. "Pilling" her really isn't an issue. She was so sick when we first got her and I believe that experience has made her very tolerant of pills and examinations of all kinds. She's a trouper...BUT she is not herself. Sparky, hunger is not one of her symptoms; quite the opposite. She is not interested in food at all. She does not wake us up in the morning and we really have to coax her to her bowl. She hides through most of the day in a dark corner. I can't stand it. I just want her better.
