K'Cee takes a bite (*crunch*) out of the Whitecoats!

[zippy-kat]

:eek: :rolleyes: :eek:

Today was Miss Kiss's pre-op appointment for her dental cleaning and biopsy on her nose-dot. I had mom take her as (1) I had to work and (2) Kissie holds GRUDGES! (You think I want my princess mad at me?! ;) )

The appointment was at 8am...
Dr. N arrives and shaves a paw. Next he pulls out his vampire tools (tourniquet, syringe). He goes to wrap Kissie's leg and *crunch* :eek: "I don't think so Mister!" :eek:

She didn't break the skin (she really is a gentle cat) - she just let him know that she was HIGHLY upset.

We'll earn that "wild kat" sticker yet... ;) :rolleyes:

~~~~~~Edited to Add~~~~~~~

Her dental/biopsy date is August 8 at 8.45am.

Her dental won't take long at all - she really isn't due for one yet - but while she's knocked out for one, might as well spare the expense and stress of having it done later this year.

Dr. N said he was going to remove the whole nose-dot and send it away for testing. It HAS to be pigment, it just HAS to be! :( *worried*

[Barbara]

K'Cee I am not sure whether it is a good idea to bite the vet because you may not believe it -he's one of the good guys;)

I am sure your nose spot will be nothing and keep my fingers crossed for you.

A few years back when Boots, da Kat, was havin his plummin problems
and had become a Frequent Flyer :( to TWO White Coat Labs -
I often feared he seemed ready to do a *crunch* :eek: on the MANY
handpawz that *poked*, *proded*, *stuck*, and otherwise *molested*
his poor, sore bod ... but he seemed to *know* the hands were
trying to *help* ...
But some of the *LOOKS* he delivered ... :eek:!

Prayers Offered that Kissie's Nose Dot is just a misplaced
paint splotch that we'll all miss once it's gone.

{{{Hugs}}}

/s/ Phred

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Prayers on the way from us too!

Now Miss K'Cee you settle down and take it like a big girl! They are only trying to help you! The cat kids are all keeping their paws crossed that your nose dot is just a freckle.
(((HUGS))) for you and your mom!

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Ouchie!! Glad she wasn't too viscious - just sending a gentle reminder. ;)

Here's hoping and praying the nose dot is just an adorable "beauty mark" that like Phred says, we'll miss once it's gone. :)

[Edwina's Secretary]

Dear Godkitty,

What's the big deal???? I have FOUR stickers on my file. Do they expect you to just sit there and endure the indignity of it all?

Silly people.....

Yours in Stickers...

Godmother Edwina

[furrykidsmother]

Hope the nose freckle is nothing serious. Probably nothing to worry about, but please let us know.

[krazyaboutkatz]

I'm sorry to hear that she got a little bit too feisty at the vet. Prayers and positive thoughts are being sent your way for good results about her nose. Sky says it's just a freckle that took a while to show up. Good luck and please keep us updated.:)

[zippy-kat]

Thanks, guys! I'll be sure to update when I know something.

*Four* stickers, Miss Edwina?! :eek: Oh my! That really gives your godkitten something to strive towards. lol (Should I hide this post from K'Cee? ;) )

You know, it's funny...
Last Dec/Jan during K'Cee's annual exam, she hissed at one of the vet techs and they muttered something about "those grey and whites... they're ALL attitude!" He then proceeded to tell me that they had 4 other greys/whites in that day and 3 of the 4 had "wild kat" stickers.

[Killearn Kitties]

The girls are all keeping their paws crossed for beautiful K'Cee (and hiding their little white spots. They are GOOD girls!)

[Don Juan's mom]

FYI: Hoomins can get those stickers, too! One time when my youngest sister was still in high school, my mom took her to the dentist and happened to glance at her chart. On it was inscribed "BITES."

Liz :D :D :D

[Edwina's Secretary]

My mother LOVES to tell that I once bit my brother....broke the skin too and he had on a snowsuit! Apple doesn't fall far from the tree.....

Ha ha...does this apply to black and whites too? Scooter is our sticker kitty. We're actually bad parents because we don't take him to the vet too often because it's just way too traumatic, for everyone involved! :eek:

Let us know what happens with the nose dot!

K'Cee should be out of Sir Jury by now and resting in
a recovery cage...

Prayers that all went well and she has *BRITE* Toofers and
a Dot-free nose.

Let's all cross Paws & Klaws that the Lab report on that Nose Dot
comes back as "just a pigment dot"!

Hope you feel better real soon, K'Cee!!

They changed K'Cee's appointment... not sure what came up but they had to switch her to an afternoon appointment which means, she's staying over night. :(

She is at the vet's (has been since 8.30 this morning), and they said they'd try to work her in earlier if they could. I sooooo hope they did - I want her home today! :(

Jonah, I'll relay your sweet message to Kissie as soon as I see her. {{hugs}}


Thank you guys for all your prayers and well-wishes!

[zippy-kat]

I'm so nervous I can't stand it! My tummy's doing flip-flops. ugh!

I called (15 min early) to see if I could pick her up. My favorite receptionist told me she didn't know anything yet; Dr. N was in the back looking over everyone now and determining who does/does not get to go home.

She's suppose to call me as soon as she knows something.

I know I'm being childish and I can't quite believe I'm almost in tears over this but.... I WANT HER HOME, NOW! :(

[momoffuzzyfaces]

At least you know she made it through surgery ok.

While you wait, you can amuse yourself by trying to figure out how they can get a bandaid to stick on her nose. She'll have it off in a flash.

Prayers on the way you get to bring her home tonight!

[zippy-kat]

I know I'm jumping the gun but I had to call and check on my girl. A different person answered the phone and they transferred me to "the back." I was informed that, my "little angel is still sleeeeeeping, so she'll have to stay." (little angel?? they've never called her that before!)

I can pick her up mid-morning...

[gini]

MMMM, just hoping that (little angel?)is alright. I wouldn't want her to have a "sleepover" either!

[slick]

Oh Tonya, you must be a total basket case over this. :( I know that I would be.

So the little angel is sleeping......could she be plotting her next "crunch?"

I know you miss little Kissie....try to get a good night's sleep and update us tomorrow.

{{{hugs}}}


how they can get a bandaid to stick on her nose.
:D :D :D Sorry Tonya, just have to laugh at MOFF's comment. It's the visual.

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Just remember, she has a very special guardian angel bunny watching over her. Even God himself wouldn't want to make THAT bunny mad!!!;)

I'm glad you got a chuckle out of the bandaid on the nose slick. I was trying to get a grin out of Tonya too!

I didn't even think of that, Moff! Now it all makes sense! lol


And, yes, I can just imagine the fun of a bandaid on the nose. Sounds like prime *crunch* time if I ever heard of one! :eek:

WILD Kat be removed from the premises!

Hope All Is Well, soon!

[gini]

Phred, you are right.........I bet she's in a really good mood this morning and she is yelling MOM! MOM! Get me out of here.

[zippy-kat]

I called at 8.30 (only 30 minutes before I was suppose to) and my fav. receptionist told me, "I'll bet she's ready - let me put you through to the back." Was met with a new, gruffy voice and was told she could NOT go home (minor :eek: on my behalf) until Dr. N talked to me. I asked if she was awake, "Oh yeah - she's awake. Dr. N should call you this morning."

9am comes, goes.
10am comes, goes.
11am my boss says, "Get your stuff together and go check on her." That's all it took - I was OUT the door.

Walked into the office and there sits Miss New Gruffy Voice (NGV) who didn't even bid me a "hello, be right with you." I walk up to the front desk (am the only one in the lobby) and am completely ignored (to her credit, I could see she was working on someone's file). In walks a lady with a lab puppy saying, "Oh - I forgot to make her appointment for her spay" - I step aside and oogle the puppy. While oogling I heard the owner ask, "So you think you're gonna cut it? It's hard being new isn't it?" Miss NGV doesn't do anything but nod her head "yes" and walk out of the room. One of the other receptionists comes back in after that and takes over.

Anywho, "S" looks shocked/confused that I hadn't been in to pick K'Cee up yet - said she was DEFINITELY ready to go home. While I was paying the bill, one of the kennel workers brought a groggy and shaking (:( ) Miss Kiss to me.... K'Cee immediately latches on to me. (*tears* I LOVE THIS CAT!!)

He said the bump on her nose didn't take long to remove and it wasn't deep at all. He took his scapel (sp?) and cut it out then used a laser to clean up the edges incase it was a melanoma. He said he should have the hystology (right word? sp?) report by the end of the week and he'd email it to me.

When we got home, I set K'Cee down and she immediately fell over (and so did my heart)! :eek: She can't stand or sit up very well yet. :( I drug out Sophie's old cage (crate for GR-sized dogs) and set her up a bed in it.

They told me she wouldn't eat the entire time she was there - this doesn't surprise me. And, the fact that the first thing she did was make her (wobbly) way to the litterbox tells me she didn't use their "facilities" either.

We offered her some water and about a tablespoon of wetfood that Aunt Kelly sent her; she gulped it right down. (We had to help hold her up to eat.)

I called the vet's back and asked about the wobbly-ness... they said the anesthesia should wear off by tonight. If not, call them at opening tomorrow.

I can already tell a difference in her demeanor - she knows she's home and I think that comfort and security is about the best healing "power" there is.

After she rests a bit, I'll try to get pictures of her owie.

Thanks for checkin' on us - it's back to work for me! (I have a feeling these next few hours are going to DRAG by. ugh!)

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

So glad to hear she's home and now resting comfortably. Seems they put a little check on her attitude while she was there, which I'm sure will be back as soon as she fully comes around. :)

Welcome home K'Cee!

Oh, and it sounds like NGV needs an attitude adjustment already too. :rolleyes:

[slick]

Oh Tonya, thanks for the uppydate. I've been checking back on this thread every half hour.

Nice to hear that she's home where she belongs. Poor thing...you had to hold her up. That would just tear my heart out. I'll bet she'll be back to her old self in no time. Kisses to you K'Cee and {{{hugs}}} to you Sis.

xoxo

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Good Lord!!! Sounds like they gave her enough anestesia to knock out an elephant!!! Didn't they do the surgery yesterday? :(

I'm sure glad she is home now. I bet she'll be feeling lots better by the time you get home. Home and family is the best medicine there is.

Oh, you may want to give her softer foods for a day or two. My teeth always ache after they've been cleaned and hers might too.

Try not to worry! (yea, right!!! I know I know). At least the dot wasn't very deep and SHE'S HOME!!!:)

Boy, I sure do agree with this.............that's a long time for Miss Kiss to still be wobbly.

But thank God she is home with you now......eating......using the litter box...................bless her heart.

Just think, Tonya, you can snuggle with her this evening and tell her how much you love her..............and all is well........she is home with MOM!

So Glad she's HOME - all safe & semi-sound.
Wobbly-ness will hopefully wear off quickly.

Good to hear the Nose Dot came off without much fuss.
Maybe she can get a Tatoo to replace it?? :D

Oh, I missed all this. I am glad to hear the wild kissie tiger is back again home. Hope that nosie heals quickly and that all the report will be a good one.:)

Oh Kissie, I'm so glad you're home now.

((((Tonya))))

I'll call you tonight to check on our patient.

Hugs,

I sure hope both the patient and her MOM are feeling better this evening. Give the Kissie cat a soft head kiss from me if you can.

(((HUGS))) to you both!!!

:eek:
What did ya'll pray for? The Kissiemonster has turned into a P-U-R-R-B-O-X!! ( :D - and thanks! lol) I've only heard her purr 3 times before - she only does it when she's SUPER happy.

I know, I know... it's just the drugs right? ;)


I agree it does seem like they gave her too much anesthesia but then again, it'd been less than 24hrs since the surgery. So ??

We're walking better - still a bit stumbly but not falling down like before. She'll spend tonight in the crate though as I don't want to risk her jumping on/off my bed, during the night.

I fed her when I came home from work - we finished off the opened tin that Aunt Kelly gave us. I just offered her another tin (different flavor) and she turned it down. (That's normal - she's a PICKY eater.)

Except for immediately after her homecoming, she hasn't used the box. I think she's a bit dehydrated, so I've been mixing water in with the wet food.


I tried to get some "owie" pictures but I'm not sure they'll turn out - will upload them in just a bit. That's our update for right now. :)

Actually, if I were in your shoes, I'd probably cry happy tears at the sound! She sure must be happy to be back home in Meowmie's loving arms.

Continued prayers coming from me and looking forward to some good news when those test results come back.

I have a video of her acting goofy but I'm not sure I know how to post it. Will probably attempt it tomorrow, though - I've got a headache that's making me sick to my stomach.

Thanks so much for all your prayers and "check-in's."

Tune in tomorrow for another update! :)

Well, I sure hope the morning sun finds you both feeling lots better!!!

I'm sure K'Cee was so thrilled to be home, she purred her little heart out!!!

WHAT? No bandaid? ;)

You may have started something here. Now that missy kissie has had a nose job, she may want other "enhancements". ;) :D

More (((HUGS))) for you both! Hope your head feels better today.

[zippy-kat]

Good evening K'Cee,

Got your histopathology report back this morning and it is a good report.
The nasal lesion was diagnosed as a lentigo.

Lentigo is a benign proliferation of melanocytes that is generally limited to the top layer of the skin (epidermis) resulting in a raised plaque-like lesion. The prognosis is favorable.

The primary concern of these types of lesions is to differentiate them from malignant melanomas by way of biopsy as we did here. Again, there were no signs of malignancy found so we have a very good prognosis.

Dr. N


We celebrated with more purrs ( :D ), happy feet (yet another new trait), and a nap (can't kick this headache - yuck).


Yay! Thank you guys for all the prayers!

We're doing ok. I feel much better now that my headache's gone! Two days is two too many!

K'Cee is still sleeping a little more than usual and still a little "off" sometimes when she jumps. While she was knocked out, I had them give her ears a good cleaning -now she keeps digging at them- so the balance issue could be due to that.

Get this:
Yesterday we were taking a nap and SHE WOKE ME UP TO CUDDLE! :eek: Who is this and what have they done with my "real" cat?! lol (My "real" cat would only sleep by my feet.)

Thanks for asking about us! :)

You are probably right about the ear and the balance stuff. I had my ears cleaned out at the doctor's office once and bout fainted. I'm never light headed but that sure did it.

Take advantage of her cuddle mood and sneak her a head kiss from me, ok?
(((HUGS))) to you both.:D

[Killearn Kitties]

I'm sure you want K'Cee's cute cuddly mood to last forever!! :D

[slick]

Zip, maybe after that horrendous experience at the vets, Mz Kissie finally realized how lucky she is to have a Meowmie like you. Glad to hear all is well and praying that this change is permanent.:)

{{{hugs}}} to you lil sis

[wolf_Q]

Glad to hear the good news! :D That's great she's being so cuddly now too! :)

[zippy-kat]

I'm going to call the whitecoats tomorrow...

Miss K'Cee just isn't acting right to me. I know that she'd lost a little bit of weight during her stay but expected her to be eating normal, etc by now.

When she went in for her pre-op, she weighed a little over 11 pounds. She was at 9lbs today.

She's still "off balance" when she jumps/shakes, but I attribute that to the ears (had them cleaned while she was knocked out).

The other thing is that she's pretty lethargic. As much as I don't like to admit it, she is getting older (3 the end of this month) but she's not acting like she was before the procedure. Now, she's sleeping longer and heavier (MUCH heavier).

I HOPE I don't have to haul her back in but sounds like a check-up might be in order. :(

[wolf_Q]

Uh oh, that's quite a bit of weight to lose in a short amount of time. :( It's odd she'd loose weight when she's not as active too, though it's probably more because of the decreased appetite. I think a check-up is a good idea, hope everything is ok with her!

[shais_mom]

hugs to my lil neice!!

let us know asap

Sure hope Miz Kissie is just takin her time "bouncing back"!

As for the weight "loss" -
WHOSE Scales are the readings from???

I know Doc Mike *swears* by the accuracy of his fancy
"Vet Model" combo Elevator Table & Scale ...
but MY kids seem to gain/loose a LOTTA weight between visits
according to HIS scale! :rolleyes:

I've watched the dial while the FurKids have been "on the table" for an exam ...
and the indicated weight fluctuates 2 - 3 pounds! :eek:

K'Cee seeeming "slower" *IS* a concern ...
but maybe she's looked at the Big Picture after spending time
away from HOME and decided that showing "appreciation to Mom"
is the way to go. ;)

Purrayers offered that All is Well!

{{{Hugs}}} :)

Leonardo says Miss K'Cee is still a spring chickie!
He turns 15 at the end of this month!

Her teeth may be sensitive which would account for the not wanting to eat. I can hardly eat for days after I have mine cleaned.

The off balance stuff, I would for sure call about. She should be perking up by now, I would think. Just for your own peace of mind (and ours too) a chat with the vet may be in order.

Prayers for you both and lots and lots of((((HUGS)))).

Tonya, I sure hope that K'Cee's okay and it's nothing serious. Please continue to update us when you can.

An update:

She started acting better on Monday (eating more, more alert, etc) so I put off calling the vet. However, she's still a bit off-balance so I called today.

Long story short, he feels I should watch her until Monday. If there's no improvement, I'm to haul her back in (oh, she'll just love that :rolleyes: ) and, obviously, if she gets worse I'm to call them immediately.

He seems to think that she might have a bit of an ear ache from the cleaning. He said that he's read (but never had) instances of cats reacting weirdly to the medicine they use to "knock 'em out," but the drug/brand he uses has the lowest side-effects, so he's not too concerned with that at this point.

Right now it's just "wait and see."


The scab on her nose fell off this morning. She's eating better -not like she was but definetly better- and she attacked her brother today, so she's starting to return to "normal." (For the most part, the purrs are gone too - but we're hanging onto the cuddly trait! :) )

All paws and fingers crossed here that miss kiss is feeling lots better real soon.

After all, you don't want to take her back to the vet then see this:
