Critters Caught On Cam

[Bocefish]

If reincarnation exists, it wouldn't be a bad deal coming back as a camgirls dog, lol

Natty wasn't being very lady like but got her belly scratch nonetheless.

 

[HeidiTruelove]

My bath show .. interrupted.

 

[AshaSnow]

Bela with her ball.

Awwww FINALLY they got screencapped on here! Woot woot! Life is complete

 

[AshaSnow]

Dr. Hollie welcoming her newest patient into her office.

OMG That is the CUTEST thing over! I haven't seen Tiger in so long, he has to be HUGE by now. He's got such soft puppy fur, I hope it doesn't go away

 

[Bocefish]

A grey fox crawled up her ass!

 

[Bocefish]

That is one cool cat.

 

[Jessi]

Surprised I havent been capped yet
Styx makes at least a couple nightly appearances

 

[schlmoe]

I got two today, OK maybe one of them doesn't count:


Hollie's cute pup:

 

[Bocefish]

At first, I was like WTF!? Then I realized they were redressing his broken leg. Poor Bongo(dog's name) but wish I had nurses like that, lol. It's cute how he comes back and gives her a smooch as if to say thank you.

lol.. nutcase is right ... Takes after mom maybe .... :whistle: :lol:
With as wild as 'his' house is, I'm surprised Bongo hasn't bitten anyone or is at least in therapy. I think he's destroyed a couple of 'mom toys' tho that were left in the wrong place...

Well, my critter isn't on cam but I feel the need to share about him today. He's at the vet right now.

Two weeks ago I took him in to get his rear right leg checked because he'd been limping on it a little, he broke it about 5 years ago and the vet thought maybe the metal pin in it was bothering him, gave me a quote of $550 for the xray/anaesthetic/operation, that he couldn't do it until the new year but it wouldn't be a bad idea to run some blood tests for his general liver functions etc.
So they did that, called me back and gave me the news that he was diabetic. Ugh. I had to inject him with insulin twice a day, and bring him back in a week to get his sugar levels tested to see if the insulin dose was at the right level. At which point they told me his blood sugar was at normal levels, and his diabetes may have gone into remission (1 week later..), so I bought a blood sugar testing machine and the strips, which by the way only come in packs of 100 and cost $68...and was told to test him daily for a week. Well I did, and he has had completely normal sugar levels and not needed insulin all week. Which is awesome, so long as I don't let myself wonder if they fucked up and he never actually HAD diabetes...

So obviously, his leg was still a problem. I booked him in for his operation and they said they'd call me after the xray if there were any complications with the surgery etc. Well the surgery went fine, they removed the pin and also a screw attached to a plate in there that may have been causing him pain. Then she told me on the xray they noticed quite a large buildup of fluid in his abdomen, and recommended an ultrasound which they're doing tomorrow morning - it's not an obstruction because he's been going to the toilet etc fine, and likely not liver failure which is one of the other potential causes because there was no indication of that on his blood test 2 weeks ago.

So he may have cancer apparently. I don't want to freak out about this until I know what's going on and what can be done about this but I've had Kato for 11 years, he's my mate, and I want to give him all the help I can and feel horrible worrying about the cost when his life could be at stake, but I also kind of have to be concerned about the cost.

So far, from the blood tests 2 weeks ago to the ultrasound tomorrow it's cost around $1450.

I know this is all off-topic and apologies for that, I just needed to share.

 

[GingerAnn]

I'm sorry, Jupiter. *hugs*

 

[Jessi]

omg poor handsome kitty
I hope he gets well soon, Jupiter

 

[Rose]

He's such a cutie, Jup. I hope he gets better. :icon-cry: Poor thing.

 

[Jupiter551]

Thanks guys, I feel a lot more positive about it now I've just spent the last couple of hours chatting to a friend on yahoo (also a model) who has very kindly offered to take scans of the xray and ultrasound to her vet in Romania to get a second opinion, vets are much MUCH cheaper there apparently and she's taking her cat there in a few days anyway.

 

[Jupiter551]

Well, they did the ultrasound and Kato has cancer, tumours spread all through his liver. Nothing they can do, vet doesn't know how long he has left - could be months, could be weeks.

All I can do is make him comfortable and try to make whatever time he has left happy.

This hasn't really hit me yet I think, I keep going between crying my eyes out and just feeling numb.

 

[Rose]

*hugs* That sucks so hard Jup... :icon-cry:

 

[JickyJuly]

Sorry to hear, Jup. In related news, you may have just edged out PaulieWalnuts as my forum crush. Dudes who take care of their pets are my favorite. :love4:

 

[Bocefish]

That sucks Jup, but he's had a good life. The hardest thing to do is putting down a life long family pet. Letting them suffer is worse though. You'll know when it's time. My condolences mate.

 

[Jupiter551]

Well I just got him home, other than the fact he's limping a bit from his leg operation and he looks slightly ridiculous all shaved (I'll post a pic later), he's the same affectionate, goofy and happy little guy...my head knows he's very ill but it's hard to reconcile because he's just regular happy, loving Kato.

First think he did was scarf down a bowl of food (in record time) and a saucer of milk. I don't usually let him have milk but hell if I'm not going to spoil him rotten while I can.

 

[Jupiter551]

Currently chilling behind me on a little spot I made for him, as you can see he's not too sick to say no to a scratch under the chin

[Rose]

That's how my doggy and I sleep too. Too cute!

My pillow, and my cat's spot lol

Aww, I'm sorry, Jupiter. :romance-kisscheek:

Hey, I noticed the Seinfeld reference in your profile! LOL. Pleased to meet you, Art Vandelay! :-D

 

[AnnieAlleyCat]

This whole thread makes me sad that I don't have any pets that could be seen on cam (hamsters the size of my pinkie and betta fish aren't known for their great photos)...Maybe I should get another rat, or a cat, or a pup, and join the ranks of ladies (And Jup) that got caught with their pets on cam

When those hammys get bigger sit on the floor with them in their hammy ball! :dance:
