THANKFUL TUESDAY

Hi everyone!  I want to thank all of you for your many prayers, purrs, woofs, headbonks, crossed paws, fingers and hooves.

Spats is doing well today.  I had to take her in to the emergency vet on Saturday after she had a severe coughing "attack". 

The vet checked Spats out and said that she recommended keeping a close eye on Spats and, if she had another coughing attach, bring Spats back in immediately. 

Also, I got word from Spats' Internal Medicine Specialist about all the tests that were run on Spats.  All of the results came back fine.  No infection or anything else showed up.  This is great!  Only, they were unable to get a sample of the fluid around her heart because there wasn't enough fluid for them to aspirate safely, so we don't know what the fluid is or what is causing it.  We are going to watch her very carefully and take her back to the Internal Medicine Vet in about a month.

Thank you all so very much! 

Here is her sweet little shaved "bellah":


I love to give it lots of snorgles!!!  Spats says that you are all welcome to give it snorgles too!!

Sassy is giving her sister lots of love!

Sassy is keeping Spats bellah warm!

Oh we are so sorry about Spats being sick - we are finally getting caught up to everyone and just heard about how sick she has been. We are sending her tons and tons of get well purrs and prayers! And tell her not to worry about her belly being all naked - it grows back (and some cats, like Barney, even make it that way on their own - so she is not alone in that one!)
