Positive thoughts for Haggis:hyperthyroid+tongue lesion

Some good news- Hamish ate some food overnight! Whew. He remained out of the oxygen cage all night too. They are going to review blood gases and his lungs again this afternoon and they think he can come home tonight.

Yay!

I think I might switch vets after this. You're right- after Haggis' prognosis and no call after this makes me wonder about the office a bit. Kitties hate the ride to the vet and they are a half hour away. I continued as a client after the first dr. (Dr.Dave) retired. He was awesome-his replacement is okay but doesn't have the same sensibilities. The new vet is just up the street and obviously has a big heart. I sent them a thank you bouquet today...

How can you say thank you enough for what they did?!?!

If anyone has a scary emergency situation in the Seattle area-here is where Hamish is. His dr. is Dr. Hsu

He's eaten a jar of baby food so far and is sleeping in my lap now. He's happy to be home. Haggis is apprehensive and growly.

We are going to switch vets- no doubt about it. The drs. at the hospital even commented on him stopping by to check on Hamish. I count us lucky for all the great people we met during this.

Okay. Time for bed. Thank you again everyone for the shoulder and prayers.

Yikes. What a week. Hamish had another attack Tuesday night. We rushed him to the emergency vet and he was there till today. He is now on Lasix and beta-blockers for his heart. So far so good. Fingers crossed.
