Dr. Robinson said that our Buttercup will be just fine. He gave me a name...it was feline _____ dermatitis (took three tries, do I have this spelled correctly now?). I wish I knew the middle word, but I don't have it written down. And since he didn't charge me for the visit (bless his heart), I don't have anything that shows what he gave him or what the name of the problem was. He gave him a shot.....poor Buttercup. He said this happens frequently in cats and that Butter is causing the harm himself. The shot should settle him down a bit and I'm taking him back in 10 days to get an additional injection. He asked if I could give him pills daily......
. That personality might change back to the old Butter and we can't have that. I asked Dr. Robinson if this could be "mental". He says no. It is a skin disorder and it will heal and then we will have our beautiful boy back!!!
Butter sat in my lap, outside of the carrier for 45 minutes. That is a record. And he purred and went to sleep.
Our Buttercup weighs in at 11 pounds. He had gained a little since his last trip. I guess he feels so heavy to me because Mimi is so light.
Anyway, he is asleep here on my desk and we both thank you so much for caring about him. I don't know why this particular boy stole my heart, but he did and I need him to be around for a long, long time.
