for Fister! - on Tuesday 27th. at 10.45
As some of you know, Fister had 2 teeth out last year (the long sharp ones) One had come loose after a fight in the yard with this nasty new male cat. One of the remaining broke when he was a kitten - before we got him. So he's got one and a half left. - He certainly can still defend himself though, I tell you!!
His breath is becoming rather smelly, so we think it's about time he has another cleansing! - and his annual shots! - and perhaps an x-ray to see whether any crystals are stuck in his bladder (he's on the edge of having bladder problems again) - even though we stick to the diet food.
I'm not too worried about getting him to the vet this time, because I managed to get the pills down his throat last time - for 10 days! I noticed, (from experience) that it is sufficient to give him only half a sedative pill - to be able to get him in the box! (Plegicil 10mg.) To do that, my vet gave me this great tip: crush the pill, mix half of it with butter and smear it on his front paw - and he will lick it off to clean himself! Easy! - well, let's see!!
By the way, we have a really nice vet - and he has got an orange tabby too! Looking just like Fister, but a little smaller How lucky can you be!
Please, fingers crossed anyway!
