Eddie Report

I just called the vet to check on Eddie. I'm told that he's "maintaining" today. ... So why does that bother me? He was in good shape yesterday, so maintaining, that would be a good thing, right?

Okay, I'm relaxing now. Sending good vibes to the cat.

Eddie Update : Yeay!

Eddie is home. He's not 100% yet, but he's alert and eating. I went in and visited him tonight. He was more vocal then he's been.

While I was there a tech came to remove a mussel from a large black lab below Eddies cage. The lab almost overpowered her getting out. I happened to be right there so I gave a hand. It still took both of us a lot of OOmph to get him back in his cage.

Poor thing has had a good stiff drink of radiator fluid. I heard the vet talking to the owners. If he pulls through this, great, but it's very likely he has shortened his life. ::sigh::

Back to Eddie. I spoke with Dr. Christiansen, whom I've never met before. He looked over Eddie's chart and said there was no reason to keep him. They canceled the ultrasound. That means we won't know for sure what the problem was, but we won't need to if he's on the mend. He's on pill antibiotics now, and that can be administered by me [heh? 8-| ]. they demonstrated their technique... and found that Eddie has indeed recovered quite a bit. It took five tries, lot's of growling and spitting, and the kitty burrito blanket. He still gave them trouble.

So he's home. He's slow. He gets a new diet. So does Saavik. Such is the fate of the universal cat dish.

Eddie's Home! Eddie's Home!

Saavik: "Damn it!"
