Andy is a stoic kitty at the veterinarian’s, as you know.
So, when his veterinarian came into the examination room…
…he didn’t get unruly or whine when she opened the carrier to lift him out.
Of course, Dr. Olejnik has a gentle, soothing “bedside manner” with little fuzzballs!
She examined his ears and listened to his heart. He was patient and a very good kitty!
Then it was time to make a new follow-up appointment and to pay the bill.
“There’s a MOUSE, Andy!”
Andy was happy to return home.
=(^+^)=
The follow-up in two weeks is to see if the hyperthyroidism treatments are working or if there are any complications from the medicine. He’ll have another procedure to evaluate his heart. He has a heart murmur, a condition we’ve known about for several years. Andy is in pretty good shape, though, for a 13-year-old kitty, so don’t, be concerned.
Great update.
2 out of 3 of mine are wonderful at the Vet. The other needs to be sedated before walking in the door. Grrr
I wish to get a good results… You are a very good human and I am sure Lovely Andy know this, and always being helper to you. I mean doesn’t make the things hard… As cats get older, health problems arise… But a close relationship with their veterinarian and keeping them under control is important. That’s why you are a very good human, you’re doing the best of what’s right, dear Doug, You are a good team. Blessing and Happiness, Thank you, Love, nia
Andy’s been a joy in my life, and I owe him the best treatment possible!
Wishing Andy good results, Doug. Hope all goes well.
I hope so, too!
I hope the meds help the murmur.
The medication is for hyperthyroidism , but I hope it helps, too!
Thanks!
Glad you had a good vet visit Andy.
Me, too, Correne!
He’s such a good boy.
I can’t believe how good some times, Peggy!
Good for you Andy ! (And Doug !)
He is a good kitty!
Well done, Andy!
Yeah, he got a gold star this time!
Good for him!
Andy doesn’t look too upset over the testing, and the vet sure looks like an animal lover. It’s good the vet has come up with a better blood pressure method. It will help him to accept the testing.
I hope he always behaves so well.
Good news
He has to have more standard tests, but they are routine for cats his age, or I should say they are typical. You know how doctors are: if they have the technology to di a test, a test is done. I am comfortable with Andy’s Dr. Oleynik’s judgement.
She does look naturally good.
you are a real hero… you should see us at the vet… or wait better not hahahaha
9Andy says he goes bonkers when they take his blood pressure, though Dr. Olejnik says they do it differently now. It supposedly doesn’t require shaving a foot or – horrors! – under his tail. I think taking it five or six times and averaging them is what really tested his best nature. He hated that sensation of the foit or tail being squeezed, I’m sure!
Anyway, I can imagine a Weimie at the veterinarian’s is a major handful! Hee! Hee! Two at the same time, though…!
Always great to get a good vet report! And a vet who gets along well with kitties is always a treasure!
Absolutely! His regular veterinarian, Dr. Ylander, is equally good with small animals as Dr. Olejnik. I think Dr. Ylander is getting ready to retire – not sure about this – and I am glad there will be someone I feel good about taking over for him. I am sure Andy will be good about the change, too.
What a good boy! I wish a certain Chat Noir would behave at the vet’s too!
Andy’s always behaved well at the veterinarian’s, though he gets fussy when they take his blood pressure. I haven’t seen it, but his veterinarian says they have a new way of doing it that is less troublesome for the critter.
