Quick Update

Hi furiends!

Just a quick update here.  Mom and I went to my doctor this morning supposedly to let my doctor steal my blood again, but my doctor said to delay it until I finished my antibiotic. That green thing I had to take every morning sucks! Bleh!!! Two more days and I'm done with it.  Meow!

I still don't feel well. Mom had to use syringe every now and then to hydrate me.  I hardly eat, even when Mom prepares my favorite canned nom. I know Mom is worried sick.

The Mom here...

Sushi lost a lot of weight and continues to. I am worried, but her doctors said they have several cases already of cats with the same issues as Sushi's.  Her vet said that two things are most likely the cause of Sushi's lost of appetite - the terrible heat and stress.  The weather here in Manila is so hot and humid. We are currently hitting a heat index of 40°C.  We're like in an oven.  I turn on the aircon at night, but during the day I only have the fan on.  I put ice pack on Sushi to keep her cool.  She does eat but not much.  I can already feel her ribs when I carry her.  I make sure though that she is well hydrated to refrain from further health problems.  I guess we have to wait till the rainy season arrives. By then, we will have to deal with the flood and the storm.  Oh boy...

Please continue to include Sushi in your prayers.  I will surely update you once her doctor gives her the go signal for another follow up blood test.  Thank you and God bless you all!

Sushi just wants to snuggle with me all the time. Such a sweetie...

The wound on my paw has almost dried up. I was wearing the cone of shame for one week. ONE WEEK! Can you believe that??? I was only off of it when it's my meal time then after eating, I'm on it again. Meow!

Last night I went up to Mom's bed and she was quite surprised that I wasn't wearing the cone of shame anymore. I managed to remove it by myself. I looked at Mom the cutest way I could so she'd allow me to sleep the night without the cone of shame. Ha! It worked! 

The following morning, Mom checked on me and saw two new fresh wounds in both my ears. I scratched them. Oh cat!!! You should have seen Mom's eyes got bigger and her voice was actually hurting my eardrums. She was really MAD at me!  

Mom: "Sushi!!! What did you do again??? Aren't you tired of hurting yourself? Huh??? Apple!!! Get Sushi ready! We're bringing her back to the vet!!!"

I was really scared. Mom's very mad. We drove off. I think Mom thought she's driving a plane. We got to the stabby place in no time.

My favorite doctors

Dr. Henry said nothing to worry about. I just need to wear the cone of shame again until my ears heal. 

WHAT??????? Not again!!!!!!!!!!

The Mom here... 

I am very frustrated because of what's been happening to Sushi. I want to remove the cone off of her already, but she keeps doing stuff that would hurt herself and end up getting wounds. 

I hope this will be the last we'd be posting about bad news. I just thought Sushi's friends need to know how she's doing.

Not again!

The Mom here...

Sushi's hind paw is now healed. Unfortunately, her front paw is the one injured this time. I noticed her limping yesterday so I looked at all four paws and there in front, the right one, swollen. I smelled it like I always do and I was right. That's my way of knowing that there's an untreated wound somewhere. I can tell she's in pain so I rushed her to the vet again today. 

The doctor cleaned her wound and gave her antibiotic. I have to give her that for the next five days. She's hating it already, but the doctor said she had to wear the cone all the time while being treated. Her licking the wound is not helping at all, it's even making it worse. 

Sushi here...

I'm not done visiting you all yet. I did some blog hopping, but I'm not even half way done. Please be patient with me. By now you know I hurt myself again. It was really painful. I couldn't walk properly and Mom noticed. She tried to clean it but I was fighting her. It hurts! So she had to bring me back to the stabby place. Mom took photos as usual. 

My doctor cleaning the wound.

I'm not happy... Not at all.

My Emergency Trip to the Vet

Mom brought me to the vet for check up. Sadly, I hurt my paw again. I had to wear the cone of shame to sleep. I hated it, but Mom insisted that I should because she put medication on my injured paw last night. From now on, I won't call the stabby place hell house anymore because I realized everyone there was nice.  The doctor examined my paw and said nothing to worry about. It will heal by applying the anti bacterial ointment my previous doctor prescribed sans the Hydrogen Peroxide and Betadine.  Mom also showed the doctor my lower lip which appeared swollen. Doctor said to observe for at least a week. If it doesn't go away then I have to go back to the stabby place... He will "stab" my lower lip. Meow! 

While there, Mom had me groomed. Here's a photo of me and my favorite purrsonal groomer. His name is Jay-R. 

I'm not done with my blog hopping yet. I promise to visit y'all as soon as I can. Forgive me if I haven't visited you yet. I promise I will. Also, please excuse my Mom. She worries a lot. She's such a worry wart.

The Mom here...

Thank God Sushi is okay. The Doctor said there's really nothing to worry about... For now. Sushi's paws are very sensitive. If I can only put socks on her I will. Sushi is currently snuggled beside me. Such a sweet baby girl...

Thank you for sending purrs and prayers our way. God bless you all! 

Injured

The Mom here

Sushi injured her paw.  I had to bring her to the vet for check up and treatment. I didn't notice it right away until it started to smell. I thought she just stepped on her poop, but when I looked again, I saw an infected wound. The doctor had to clean, disinfect and put anti bacterial cream. I have to do that too for two weeks until it dries up. Sushi injured herself by scratching her ess. There were thick fiber-like thingies that stuck out from constant scratching that wounded her paw then it got infected. Sushi also got three shots. Poor Sushi. She stayed calm during the entire procedure except for the last shot. It was the anti inflammatory shot. I guess it was really painful because she meowed and hissed.

Everybody there loved Sushi and were saying how very kind Sushi was.  Well, I guess that's true because there were three cats there and one of the three cats was constantly hissing at everyone who comes near her. When it was time for her bath, boy, she had a scratching mania going on.

Here are some photos I took.

I hate the cone! It's very uncomfortable and did you see the design? It's for woofies!

Ear Infection

I went to the hell house again this morning. Mom and Ate Apple brought me there because of an ear infection. Last night, Mom tried to clean my ears so she could put drops in it. Well, I wouldn't let her so I meowed at her very loudly. I didn't like it. I guess I made my message loud and clear because Mom eventually stopped.

This morning at the hell house, the lady vet was very nice to me. She talked to me very calmly and assured Mom that I will be okay. There were brown, thick, icky liquid in my ear. That, I think, made my ear smell very bad. Ewe! I didn't make any sound at all as this nice lady vet thoroughly cleaned my ear which surprised Mom and Ate Apple because I did just the opposite last night. The lady vet said I was very cute and very well behaved. Ha! Did you hear that, Mom?

No need for meds. Thank cod!

Bleh!

I was brought to the hell house again yesterday for my scheduled deworming.  How I hate the taste of that yucky medicine. Bleh!

That was gross, Mom.  Yuck!

I've Worms???

Momma brought me to the hell house again last Sunday, but this time no shots.

I was weighed. Vet said very good.  His assistant got my temperature.  Vet said very good.

Then they let me have this stuff for deworming.  It didn't taste that bad.

Wait a minute... Does that mean I have worms in me??? Yuck!

Yuck!

I didn't go to the hell house last night, but Momma brought me there this morning.  Meow!!!

The vet poked my ess to get my temperature . Hisss...

Clean...

Cut...

Spray...

The vet said this will hold the powdered antibiotic he put on my paw.

Then he let me drink this awful red stuff.  He said I should take it twice a day for five days.  Yuck!

I hate V-E-T-S!!! Meow!!!

To the Vet I Go Again...

Here we go again.  Another trip to the vet.

Momma wanted to make sure that my ear infection is already gone.

Dr. Glenn Maguad examining my ear

Yipee!  No more ear infection.  No more drops. I hate it when Momma and Ate Emy fiddle with my ear.

When my vet said I'm okay, Momma brought me to the grooming section again for another bath.

Meow!!!  Not again!!!!!!!

After drying me up, they put this 2 yellow thingy at the back of my ears.  I thought I looked ridiculous, but everybody thought I was soooo cute.

Then they had me lay down on that steel table again.  Uh-oh... I think I know what they're gonna do.

Meow!!!

That hurt!!!

I wonder when they will stop doing this to me???

I didn't feel too weak like the first time. Just a little bit woozy.

My Ate Emy holding me after my shot

Momma put me inside this bag on our way to Grammy. I saw her house for the first time.  I heard she didn't like pets at all, but when Grammy saw me, she said I was cute.  Ha!  I won her heart!

Lemme tell you, I hate this bag! But Momma wanted to carry me in this when we go out. Meow!!!

Ear Infection

Momma had to bring me back to the vet because I have ear infection.  I went with Ate Emy, my human playmate. My ear was itchy all the time.

My vet, Dr. Glenn Maguad

He cleaned both my ears and put drops in my right ear. It hurt a little.

I was scared.

My First Trip to the Vet

Momma brought me to the vet for the first time today.  She had me groomed and checked.

I realized that hated water. Look how miserable I look here.  Maybe I'm not used to it yet... or maybe I'll hate it for the rest of my life.

Then they blow dried me.  The whole process seemed so strange with all the air coming out of that hose.













Then they cleaned my ears. It felt ticklish and it felt really weird. It didn't hurt though. Momma was taking shots from outside the door.

Then it was time for my vet to see and check on me.  I was scared.  They put me on a steel table and examined me.  Next thing I felt was a tiny thing that pierced through my back.

Meow!!! That hurts!!!

My vet, Dr. Byron Guevarra
