ROCKY AND TUFFY UPDATE..... 

We are home and that’s about it. We spent the whole morning in the lab, waiting room and then the CT. Of course, since this is Thursday we probably won’t know anything until the first of the week……and maybe not until Wednesday when we have our regular lab and doctor visit with Dr. Morgan.

On the way home we stopped at the Vet Clinic to see if Tuffy was doing better. I talked with Dr. Lewis and he said Tuffy was still in Mountain View (the original clinic 15 miles down the road).

They had run quite a few tests on him and were presently thinking Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Go figure!! Seems our critters get the same thing people do. They are treating him with Sulfa-something-or-other and said he was eating good and feeling OK. They want to keep him to see if he’s going to respond to the Sulfa and then put him on a dietary food for his digestive system.

They don’t think he is in any danger, but hey!!! He’s MY cat. If he’s not here but in the Vet’s Clinic…..he’s IN danger. He’s in his mid-life and I hope to keep him another 11 years.

So all is quiet here…..Rocky is already dozing contentedly in his chair and I’m ready to go relax a little and organize myself. Mandy is anxious for me to get quiet so she can settle down and take a nap too.

Sounds like a good idea to me!

See you next time,
