Miley-girl is ill...hope it is routine cat thing!

[sasvermont]

Yesterday, while watching TV with my various cats, I noticed drool coming out of both side of Miley's mouth. So unlike her. She is such a little lady, How undignified! Now Juni-get-down drools every time you pet her.

Any who, I have a call in to the vet, as I do think she is experiencing a tooth issue. We had a "watch" on one tooth and I suspect that is causing her discomfort, thus she is not closing her furry little mouth.

My pillows were soaked this morning. I didn't let them graze for food over night just in case Miley has to have a tooth extraction or something else that will require sedation.

So off to work for the morning and I hope to have her there in the AM rather than the PM.

The other indians are HUNGRY... they have been trying to get into their dry food bags, fruit on the counter, trash cans. You might think I starve the little monkeys. They have water. When I come home to pick up Miley, I will put the dry food back out for the other campers.

Oh, of course, I won't forget my check book. I say, oh, this will cost me, oh, about $150, after the sedation, cleaning if necessary, antibiotics, office visit.

Happy New Year Ms. Vet!

My hope is that this is JUST a tooth problem.

Fingers crossed, will you? Thanks.

Did you notice what was on TV at the time? Maybe it was a Fancy Feast commercial!

All kidding aside, we will all have fingers and furry paws crossed here for Miley that it is something easy to treat. Please check back when you hear what the vet thinks. I will also be curious as to how close you are in guesstimating the bill.

Good luck with Miley.

Oh little Miley girl, I am so sorry and hope you will feel much much better soon. I send you lots and lots of kissies.
Teeth are an Aby thingie I am afraid.

Now Sallyanne I am sorry for you as well: a gang of starving Abys plus Lucy- that sounds like just too much. I suppose you didn't get much sleep.

Lets hope the vet can fix her right up and end her discomfort and get her back to normal asap!

[Karen]

Poor Miley - hope it's something routine and easily fixable! I mean, how undignified!

[sasvermont]

Well, the appointment didn't go quite the way I had planned. The vet didn't find anything in her mouth, although she hardly had a view since Miley nicely kept her mouth tightly shut.

So, Miley-girl will spend the day at the vet, having xrays and blood work and some food! She didn't look thrilled to be there. The vet said it could be her kidneys. She is NOT dehydrated, which is good.

I will hear something from the vet before I go after work to pick up Miley.

I will keep you guys posted.

Miley is my favorite kitty....sshhhhhhh. Don't tell the others.

[Barbara]

Oh Sallyanne! I keep my fingers cramped for Miley. She's far too young for kidneys. And she is my favorite girl kitty too. You know who my favorite boy kitty is (and we won't tell Tigris)!!!!!!

[Killearn Kitties]

I'll be sending losts of positive vibes for Miley-girl today. I hope things go well.

[jenluckenbach]

Oh dear, why couldn't this be simply? Prayers for Miley.

[Randi]

Oh Sallyanne, I do hope it's not her kidneys. Hopefully, the vet will find the cause of this quickly, and hopefully it' something easily treatable.

We'll keep all fingers and paws crossed for little Miley girl.

Miley Girl!! You better keep your mommy from worrying...get well soon sweet girl!! The many adventures of Camp Vermont, to be continued...

Positive thoughts being sent your way, Sas!

I just love my newish vet. She is so calm and thorough. Nothing has showed up on xrays. The vet seems to think Miley has colon problems and is filled with gas. She is going to give me to drugs to give her and then we will wait for the blood work to come back tomorrow. She will also be tested for FIP. So, other than no news, which is good news in some ways, Miley will have to wear a bib for the next few days! The vet said she was such a good little girl, tolerating the poking and xrays very nicely. That's my girl. She really is a trooper when it comes to the vet. The worst experience had to have been when Tiberus bit the day-lights out of her and she had to have drains hanging from her side end for days on end. She never touched them.

So, things are ok and I can bring Ms. Miley home a little after 5 PM. Then we deal with the pills!

Thanks for listening.

Robyn, I always have flash backs to where Grammy and Gabe died. We won't go there. That is why I insisted on xrays today. Just to be sure!

[Barbara]

I think we all had the same flashback. Hope it is just the colon- that should be manageable. Although I never had to pill Filou up to now

I'm a little late here but I'm glad that it's nothing serious and that some meds will be able to help her. Get well soon Miley girl.
