Mews all. Momma Andi wanna writes what be goin ons

thank you Pita
okay tuesday I took Sassy in because she had a lump on her neck about the size of a small grape., and I thought I saw some cloudiness in her eyes. Taking her to her doctor he said the eyes were okay, just old age and it is rather common in cats her age. she did not have cataracts or glaucoma. They took some blood and checked her panels as part of a 'senior wellness exam', teeth are healthy though she needs to get a professional cleaning done soon. the lump concerns him though. I had to take her back wednesday and she stayed overnight. When I checked her in the doctor told me about her blood work. turns out Sassy has onset old age diabetes and must now take insulin shots twice a day. other than that her blood work was excellent. Thursday morning she had her operation. of course they shaved the area, but because it is on her neck she does not be the 'lizard-breathin' collar. The lump mass has been sent to be biopsied and I do not know how long that will take. I had to watch her very closely when I got to bring her home. poor girl walked like she was drunk. 5-6 steps then lay down for 15. her head wabbles a bit. had to help her with the litterbox, and no jumping ip onto furniture for her (was not going to risk her falling). made sure she has access to water and food. This morning she is doing better though she is still obviously sore and groggy. After she ate a bit this morning I waited the 30 minutes and geve her her first shot in her hip. I was so nervous, I really did not want to do it for fear I'd hurt her. still she got it. right now she is resting in a small box I tossed her favorite blanket into I think she is just trying to find a comfortable way to sleep. I keep checking on her petting her and giving her scritches. is it me? I want her to be the kitten she was 14 years ago. lord I pray that the mass is benign.

Andi. When my cat, Cookie, had to have insulin shots, I was told to pull up the skin behind her shoulder blades (back of lower neck) so that the skin made like a little "tent" and give the shot there. I am surprised to hear you are giving the shot into her hip (???). Cookie never ever felt the thin needle going in that little area of skin pulled away from her back....

hi, Aunt Andi again
right now I have to do it in the hip because of hte surgery that was on her neck to remove the mass (that I am praying was just a benign cyst). When it heals then I will be able to give her a shot in the neck area .
Update update: she has come out from under my bed and is in a low box that I put a sweatshirt in for her. She is sitting near a warm airvent snoozing. still checking on her and petting her and such. letting her know that she is very much loved. Even my sister (who is allergic to virtually all animals) called to see how she was.
I'd tell you about Pita but he is out in the snow looking for voles and shrews (he is a professional hunter...a friend paid me 15 bucks to bring him to her house to cats a few shrews that got into her garage. He got 4, have not seen any more. She was happy, I was happy, Pita was full)

We glowink like crazy dat Sassy be okeedoke and that da toomer by B-9!

GLOW continues for Sassy and her worrying mommy Andi! Cathy and Justin

NO, its notyou, we would all like them to be young and healthy fureffur! Sigh, but that is not how it goes. Glow continues for you and Sassy,

Mommy and I are GLOWING and PRAYING right along with you that the lump turns out to be benign. Mommy has that diabetes thing, and it's not fun, but it is treatable. People and kits can live long and pretty good lives with it as long as they get their meds. We're praying that Sassy's levels even out quickly and that you and she get used to the shots easily.
