05Dec24: Andy’s morning at the veterinarian’s [Part 3]

Just a review: Andy and Holly hit it off!

And how!

While Andy was out of the room getting his ultrasound, I drank a coffee Dr. Olejnik brought me and checked my Facebook page for comments.

Holly brought Andy back from ultrasound.

I waited for his doctor to review her findings. Andy waited patiently on the bench by my side.
That’s his shaved tummy, still wet after being cleaned up.

Andy’s blood pressure is down, if still just outside normal range. Eye pressure in his right eye is a bit elevated, but his left eye is in the normal range. The ultrasound found things mostly ok, with one artery in his liver a bit enlarged. (I am not sure that was what I heard.) Anyway, he is to return for a check-up on the 16th to see if there has been further improvement in his blood pressure and hyperthyroidism.

    • I was especially happy his retinal are in excellent condition at his age, even with the higher pressure in one eye. He has very good hearing., too. His thyroid medicine tube makes a soft click when you turn the know to get the medicine onto the applicator. Sitting a good distance from a sleeping Andy, he woke up, looked my way, and ran to hide when he heard my click the applicator!

  1. My cat Mollie (RIP) had an ultrasound. The vet called me in and showed me her organs while she was on her back on a cradle sending me daggers! Nothing showed up but she was not happy about the ordeal. She spent considerable time cleaning her belly.

  2. Yes, I want such a vet like yours… I am so glad for the reports, seems that good as a cat in this age. Andy deserves everything now, did great at there…. Thank you dear Doug, Love and Hugs to you both, nia

    • I’m am very fortunate that both Dr. Olejnik and Dr. Ylander (Andy’s veterinarian for most of his life who is near retirement) have or are such fine doctors for little animals like a
      Andy! Dr. Ylander did the ultrasound.

    • I feel better myself that Andy handles being at the veterinarian’s as well as he does, too! Of course, I was happy with the report.

    • Yes, it’s pretty good anywhere in this area. The clinic is a few miles outside of town, as a matter of fact, and I shot and saved all my photos taken while there. I even began doing my posts for the three parts while there, too. It helped me keep busy while we waiting for Andy to come back from the ultrasound examination.
