Positive thoughts for Haggis:hyperthyroid+tongue lesion

-every day does get easier but boy the evenings are tough. Hamish was a permanent fixture in my lap. I miss his face and big eyes looking up at me- I'm getting in your lap-NOW! I'm awaiting the call from the vet to come up and get his ashes and pet carrier. That'll be a setback. *sigh*

I'm sorry about your Morgan, Moesha. It hasn't been a good month for kitties.

Hi Everyone-
The house is adapting to life without Hamish. We miss him lots and wish he was still here. Haggis knows that Hamish is gone but still looks under the bed every night to check if he is there and when it's feeding time he calls out to his missing friend that it's time to eat. We have to stay close by so he eats his food.

We took Haggis in for his first check up with the compassionate vet who helped us so much in caring for Hamish. Haggis liked him a lot and showed no apprehension like he did with the previous vet. The vet looked for a lesion yesterday and saw and felt nothing. After all the blood tests and exam he called today that all is well. Haggis is a bit pudgy (17 lbs.) but he his happy and healthy. So, whatever I'm doing to keep it up. So, Transfer Factor remains in his diet from here on out...and thanks again everyone for your advice and shoulders during our kitty up and downs.

All the best to you and your kitties!

Good to hear from you, and to get a good report on Haggis, too. Glad he didn't wake up when you took his picture, we all know how important cat naps are!

Wonderful news about Haggis!

There is still the shadow of Hamish, I know. I guess....getting a kitten for Haggis wouldn't help? It is too soon, I know. I just wonder if you might look at that in the future?

Give Haggis cuddles for me - after he awakes from his nap, of course!

That's great news; I'm happy that things are moving along nicely. Good to have you back, too.

I am so happy that Haggis is well!! I teared up at the part of him still looking for Hamish, but it is good that he is well! Just keep doing what you are doing and give that sweet boy a kiss from me!

Happy Spring everyone! I hope the tulips are up and the sun is shining.

Today, Haggis went in for a teeth cleaning. It's been a rough day for him. He is missing 6 teeth! 4 have been "re-assorbed" and 2 other are broken off and have started to abcess. So, those 2 teeth nubs have been removed. The vet also found a small "something" in the back of his throat. It was easily removed and it's been sent out for analysis. Knowing his history, I expect the worst, but I'll keep my fingers and toes crossed. If I can ask again for prayers...that kitty! Hang in there Haggis! He's going to be pretty cranky- no food since 8am!
