Back from the vet.

Back from the vet.

Beyonce had her shots so she's good until next year.  I brought her home and took her into Shadow's room (where she likes to hide lately), got her out of the carrier, and cuddled her.  She didn't freeze and drool this time - she purred.  She fucking purred!  😃  Yay for that!  When I let her go she stayed for a second and then went and got into her cage.  Whatever makes her happy is fine with me.  🙂  I am happy with her progress.

Scar (Laurel's kitten that is here for now) still has runny poo so he was tested for Coccidia.  He was negative, but he's got some pills to firm up his poo.  He also got shots.  He is doing much better than the first visit.  He had worms and some sort of cold.  He is a little love bug, but he demonstrated his water-pooping skills in the carrier for me on the way home.  YUCK.  LOL

Precious' big lump is just a cyst.  Maybe the same one from before, Nancy?  Does it look like it's in the same spot?  The vet said that it's nothing to worry about and that it doesn't hurt her.  He was touching on it and she didn't complain.  She sleeps on it so I guess it really doesn't bother her.  He said he could drain it (which I kind of wanted to see him do), but he said that it would just come back so I figured it would just be nicer to not put her through that.  The only real way to be rid of it for good would be surgery, but that seems extreme for something that isn't causing harm.  I don't really care what she looks like as long as she feels ok.  When her hair grows back in, it won't be noticeable anyway.

And finally, Chupa.  She's estimated to be about a year old.  You were right, Jennifer - she does have leftover puppy teeth still.  🙂  She was surprisingly negative for intestinal parasites, but the vet said that she does look anemic and he's worried about her skin.  She's got some crusty patches and her hair is very thin.  She's not scratching or anything, though.  She got a parvo vaccination and a big jar of vitamins.  He said just to keep her fed and that he wants to see her back in a few weeks.  She doesn't even weigh 5 lbs.

Chupa has gotten to where she is excited to see me (probably because I'm always bringing her chicken or ham or pepperoni or whatever, but I'll take it.  LOL)  She whines for me and she kind of "hugs" me sometimes.  She is too sweet.  I don't know where she came from or how she ended up where she did, but she's a little doll.  Once she's all healthy she will need a home.  Of course I like her, but I have a house-full.  No more forever dogs for me right now.  I am pushing my luck by bringing in another foster, but she's so tiny that she doesn't count.  😉  I haven't put her in with my dogs - she's with the cats for right now.  She might stay with the cats.  Nappy would crush her if she stepped on her and she never looks where she's going... she runs into my ass daily so I know this to be a completely legit worry.  😳

Anyway... off to get a shower, I think.  I feel a bit grody after hauling all those creatures around.  🙂
