Yes, my CH baby Creamsicle does this, too, but her tongue doesn't stick out all the way.
Dr. Lee returned my call and said that it could possibly be hyperthyroidism and, if so, there are various treatments that we could try, one of which is removal of the thyroid. We both agreed that would be a last resort, especially given that Puddy is in CRF. However, and it's a good "however" for once, he feels that it's probably nothing. He said that he has several cat patients who stick their tongues out and it's absolutely nothing but we won't know about Puddy for sure unless we do some blood work. Given that she has no other symptoms, he said that it sounds like Puddy is doing pretty well and that I probably have nothing to worry about. A blood test will put us both at ease. So. There we are. Her appt. is Wed. morning at 11:00. There's nothing I need to do for her in the meantime other than keep up w/her subQ fluids and her meds. She's sitting right next to my computer right now so I took a couple of pix that I hope turn out to post.
Again, thanx for your input, friends, and I'll keep you posted. I love this little girl so much, I could cry just thinking about it.
