Hello Again

Hi furiends! I hope you still remember me. I sure miss all of you, but what can I do? I'm at the mercy of Mom when she'll have the time to help me post.

Anyway, I'm all good. My paws and ears are now completely healed. My swollen lower lip is not swollen anymore. Thank cod! I'm back to normal. My trip to the vet is becoming less and less. Although this weekend I'm scheduled for another shot. That's okay. I'm ready for that.

Mom's schedule is crazier than ever. She's always out. That leaves me and my yaya Apple at home most of the time. I'm okay with that too as long as she feeds me well. The good news is Mom is up for a purrmotion. When that happens first quarter of next year, that would mean extra $$$ (Peso in our currency). Extra $$$ means new toys and lotsa noms. So I won't complain. 

Anyhoo, will read blogs a little bit at a time so as not to tire Mom too much. She had a flare (according to her doctor) because of lupus rash attack. Both her legs look like the map of the world! Yuckness! No pain which she's very grateful for except for the rashes that are very ugly and itchy. 

My birthday is coming up next month. I'm turning two very soon. Mom is already planning for my small house pawty. I'm a little bit excited, but not too much yet.  Tee hee... 

I'll see you around!

PeeEss: Mom and I are very saddened about what happened to our very dear furiend, Sparkle. She will be furever loved and remembered... Fly high, sweet furiend... Fly high...

=(

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! 

Swollen

The Mom here...

I really feel so bad because Sushi hurt her paw again. It's swollen. And I noticed her lower lip is also a bit swollen. I have to bring her to the vet again tomorrow morning. Sushi is an indoor cat and she never fails to find ways to get into little accidents that would require her trips to the vet. I panic when I google things about what I see is unusual on Sushi like her lower lip.

I am really worried...

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!

Fleas???

Hello.

Sorry for being MIA.  Momma has been really busy with her work.  She has some free time today so I took advantage of it and motioned her to help me blog.

Anyhoo, I was rushed to the hell house (again) because Momma panicked when she noticed several little lumps in my arms.  The vet said that there's nothing to worry about because those lumps were just flea bites.

Momma:  Flea bites??? How did that happen?  We always make sure our house is clean and Sushi gets her bath every week. Does she have fleas?

Vet:  No, she doesn't have fleas.  Do you have dogs or cats within your vicinity? 

Momma:  Cats, no.  Dogs, yeah.  Our next door neighbor has a dog.  There's another one at the far end on the other side.  

Vet: Okay, so that's where Sushi got those bites.  Fleas jump from one pet to another easily. And we're not sure if their humans give their pets bath and medication as often as they should.

Thank Cod, I don't have fleas!  But those bites sure were itchy.

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!!!

What a Day!

We went to the vet again this morning.  I knew it!  That car ride was a giveaway.

When we entered the clinic, there were lotsa humans and dogs too.  I met 3 cats and a dog.  One of the cats was so tiny and sick.  Her twin sister just passed away this morning according to her humans.  Poor little kitty...  Anyway, while we were waiting for our turn, Momma was chatting with the cat's human.  The kitty had worms in her tummy.   She was given a shot too and vitamins. Hope she gets well soon.

A different doctor checked on me earlier.  His name is Dr. Jude Padasas.  Momma thought I was fat, but the doctor said I was just right. He said he can still feel my ribs. I guess I'm not overweight. Yay! I weighed 2.4 lbs now.  I gained .4 lbs from the last time Momma weighed me.  I was a little bit annoyed though when my doctor's assistant stuck this thing in my butt.  It hurt!  I think that was a ther... ther... what do you call that thing that tells you your temperature? Yeah! That thing!

Then it was my turn for a shot.  Ohhhhh... Here goes... MEOWWWWW!!!!!!!!!! 

That hurt a lot!!! Have you gone mad??? What was that???  (Anti rabies shot)

After my vet visit, we went to Grampa, Momma's Dad, at this beautiful garden. He sleeps there and hasn't waken up yet.  But I wasn't able to see him because the guard said, "No pets allowed inside." =(  So Momma went inside the garden while Ate Emy and I waited outside.  There were humans who took pictures of me with them.  I was an instant celebrity. Tee hee...

Momma came out of the garden right away and off we went home.

Purrrr... I was tired.  Momma and Ate Emy too.  We all went to get some cat nap... Zzzz...

Hot Bath... Not Bad

I will be going to the vet again tomorrow for another shot.  Meowwwwww...

Momma gave me a hot bath this afternoon.  Hmm... It wasn't too bad after all.  I kinda enjoyed it this time.  She held me until they finished rubbing shampoo on me.  Poor Momma, she was soaking wet.  Ate Emy and Mom dried me off with a towel and a hair dryer so I wasn't cold.  I like that better than the last few baths I had.  Mom put powder on me after drying off so I'd smell really good.  Then she gave me a treat!  Nom nom nom! Loved it! I don't hate baths anymore.   Tee hee...

Me and Momma

Anyway, I heard what's wrong with Momma.  She has lu... hmm... what's that again... lu... pus... lupus???  Not sure how bad that is, but she's always tired.  I really hope she feels better soon.  She wanted to go to a pet store and buy me some goodies.  But how can she when she's not feeling too well... Sad... =(

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
