Positive thoughts for Haggis:hyperthyroid+tongue lesion

[illustr8r]

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.

Oh no! What a shock -

Glad to hear he is home and ok for now. How are his spirits and his appetite?

Oh, Hamish, sweetie, please straighten yourself out - your family is so worried as are we! Prayers both you and Haggis are OK.

I'm glad at least that Hamish is holding his own. Prayers are going up that he'll continue to improve....

Hamish appetite is really good. I was attempting to sneak his pills in a small spoonful of food but he caught on that something was in it. So, I'm pilling by hand. I have 2 pill shooters- one's opening is too big and the other too small. I will pick up suspensions on Monday but I am getting good at pilling finally.
Hamish first attack after the echo showed he had an enlarged heart- this last one it was almost normal sized. He is an atypical case of congestive heart failure. The beta blockers seem to be really helping with his appetite and mood. Haggis missed him too. He witnessed Hamish collasping at the top of the stairs and didn't run when he heard my hubby running up the stairs with the pet carrier. Every day while Hamish was gone he would cry out. Once Hamish came home there wasn't a learning curve on remembering who this cat was...even with Hamish bandaged IV leg and shaved spots. Thanks again for listening to our tails of woe. SVS hopes not to see Hamish again and I hope they don't either! They are great folks. Anyway it's day by day and he is happy to be home. Both kitties are laying in front of the fireplace now. Again, what a week!

Both of your boys are in my prayers. Give them each a hug and kiss from me!
