The elusive Butter Cat was supposed to be going too, but he is too smart! I guess when he hears me call his name, he knows I am up to no good! So I will have to "surprise" him when he least expects it and just take him without an appointment one day soon!
Murphy went along for the ride because she has been shaking her head a lot this week and has had drainage from her right ear (the one that was operated on). Dr. R said that this drainage is just ear wax that has a lot easier time getting out these days due to the re-routed ear canal. He said, "that's a good thing" because she will be less likely to have the severe ear infections she was so plagued with before. Her left ear was a bit red too (no surgery on that ear so far and we are trying to avoid it as the surgery and recuperation was so tough on her and us). She's on Baytril for 10 days and a spray of somesort to heal a place that she had scratched on her ear, but seems happy this morning and no more shaking that head, already! Dr. Robinson LOVES Murphy and she is actually pretty happy when she gets there too! The funniest part of our visit was that he said that I must be feeding her well! She had gained 6 pounds in 3 months! She is a chowhound. He was not at all concerned about her weight as her waistline shows quite nicely, even at 79 pounds! Murphy will have a thorough checkup next month when she goes for her annual shots, which are due in July.
Honey went for her annual checkup and shots. And the best news is that there is no news!! She checked out beautifully. He was happy to see that she had plumped up a little bit since her last visit, as he didn't want me to let her lose anymore weight. She is a healthy 69 pounds and he said she is PERFECT!!! What more could I ask?? Honey will be five years old in December.
$232 later (including Heartguard), at least two of my girls are doing great! Butter and Murphy are next (July), then Lilly and Mimi (who will be 14 in a week or so) will be there in August! I expect good reports on everyone!
What a boring message, but a good one since I had no "bad" news to report!
From one "happy" Mother of Many!!

I hope your July and August vet visits all have good reports. The worst part of the vet's visit is often the "paying up" at the end, isn't it?! LOL!
Sounds like they are both in tip top shape, what a good mommy you are! Give them both a big SMOOCH from me.
Huney, Bon & Simba-missed so very much
). He also has a lump that appears to be a fatty cyst. We will have to watch it for now. Shiloh checked out just fine! Just did the 1 yr. rabies on Killi and heartworm test. Shi had the 3 yr. rabies, the distemper shot and heartworm check. I also bought a 12 pack of heartworm meds. Cost: $292.
