18Jan25: after a brouhaha we visited the vet’s…

Purr! Purr!
Andy purred – you know having a massage on his butt and back always are a treat!
Holly noted it also calms the kitty down before the thermometer insertion….
Andy survived temperature taking. Now to the scale.
Andy picked up a few ounces, proof the hyperthyroidism medication did the job.
Holly left for a moment. Andy used the moment to…
…hop down to get back in his carrier, the safe place while here!
Holly still needed Andy for  blood pressure checks.
Oh, well. Andy wanted to be in the carrier, so Holly played along.
Andy should have liked this blood pressure machine because they don’t have to shave a foot or on his tail like we they used to do.
Earlier, at home, Andy hid behind the recliner, trying to avoid capture…

=(^+^)=

…but I blindly reached between the recliner and the wall to capture him. I accidentally grabbed the tail end, not the head, and Andy valiantly defended himself. My hand lost.

=(^+^)=

On final medical news about my kitty, happy, too, that the heart murmur is better! He was a very good kitty for his visit today, but he is a good kitty!

=(^+^)=

It started to snow while Andy and and I were at the vet’s.

Not much to it so far. OK by me!

  1. Wow ! We are sorry you had a confrontation with Andy’s wrong end before you were able to corral him, and w hop your hand heals up well. We are also happy that despite the kerfluffle Andy got a good report. We can see why he likes Holly so much – she even lets him stay in his carrier for part of the exam.

    • I think any innovation that’s less invasive is good if it gives equivalent results. As for the improved blood pressure machine where shaving the leg or tail to get BP, this one wouldbe better if it didn’t make what must be a strange noise to animals when it pumped up. Andy was hiding in the carrier when it was taken, though. Thst may have helped him.
