Cone Head

I was taken to the vet today with Zucchini.  He got his initial check-up, vaccinations, microchip, tested for Feline Leukemia (came back negative, by the way!), and had his claws trimmed.  Zucchini wasn't very happy about getting blood drawn for the Leukemia test, which got me upset, which in turn made him more upset.  The vet decided it best to use a gas anesthetic to calm him down and knock him out so they could do the what they needed to.  I was happy when they took him out of the room, but I was still very unhappy...  Too make it worse, the vet then took the time to look at my hurt paw.  I didn't really like her poking at it and spreading my toes apart.  Didn't feel good.  THEN she tried to soak my paw in an epsom salt bath... totally not okay.

Anyway, the end result was that Zucchini was mellow and all taken care of.  And I got sent home with antibotics for my paw which has a mostly healed cut on the bottom, and a topical ointment for the cut itself.  Worst part of it all is that the vet gave my mom a cone collar to have me wear while I have the ointment on so I can't lick it off (which I want to cause it doesn't make my toes feel good when she puts it on).

Can't wait for my paw to be all healed so I don't have to wear this horrible cone anymore.

Staples Taken Out

Went to the vet the other day to get my staples out.  This trip was better than the last one, at least I got to come home the same day!

My people thought that I got a bad burn on my shoulder.  With no idea of how I could have gotten burned, the vet did more research the day after we saw her and determined it really was just from the antiboitic they gave me for my surgery.  Apparently, I am one of the lucky rare kitties who have a horrible reaction to the antiobotic at the injection site.

Got my staples out.  Only hurt a little bit...

The FOAM Incident...

Foam isn't good for a kitty's digestive system... But Pinky sure enjoys to shread and eat foam whenever possible. She found a foam kitchen mat to be quite tasty.  Unfortunately, part of the foam got stuck in her instestinal track so she had to go in for some emergency surgery to get it out.  Went into the vet Thursday morning and comes home tomorrow (Saturday morning).

The foam...

The staples from the surgery.  The fur still hadn't grown all the way back from being fixed in January.

Pink Eye Day 2

Eye is redder but it is easier to open today.  I do look like a pirate though!

Pinky gets Pink Eye...

Day 1:  Got an infection in my eye...   Went to the vet to get it checked out.  No scratches on my eye itself, but still have some issue and need ointment for a week.

Spayed

This past Monday I went into the vet and was "fixed"...  My people didn't realize that I had just gone into heat.  Luckily there was no issues medically.  I was worried that they had left me for good though.  Was SUPER happy when they came back to bring me home!

They have been trying to make me stay inactive while I recoperate from surgery.  But I have lots of energy and am still always starving (unlike what they vet told them I would be... she doesn't know that my tummy is a bottomless pit!).

Like I said... STARVING when I got home.  Did I mention I didn't get breakfast before surgery??

I got IVs during surgery, so I have a pretty neat hair cut on my front legs.

Had to clean up after eating.

Then rest!

Now I am all caught up on my shots, spayed, and even microchipped.  Ready to face the world head on!
