Camus is doing much better

[waywardcats]

He seemed like his old self for a while this morning, he was definitely not feeling as much pain.  He started a new long-term pain regimen last night, so hopefully this morning is a good sign.  He was antsy and not avoiding extra movement at all.  He still went into the bathroom cabinet when I left for work, but I am hopeful.

The x-rays on Saturday didn’t reveal much but that his arthritis in his elbows has worsened, so it could just be that plus the cellulitis that was giving him pain.  He is also now on a glucosamine supplement, so I hope to see him improve.  There was something in his ribs that the doctor wants a Radiologist to look at.  It looked to me like the “bone island” I have in one of my fingers. It shouldn’t be causing him pain, but I am waiting to hear more regarding that.

I haven't made a decision yet as to whether to continue with this vet office or not.  I do feel that they have stepped up since his first visit, but I certainly don't want this kind of thing to happen again.

I am very glad your kitties have you to care for them! My cat, "Kitty" (she has yet to reveal her name) turned 12 yesterday (guesstimate). I don't know what I'd do without her!

12 and still coy about her name! That's impressive. I'd suggest she take one of Camus/Athos' names (he doesn't really need two), but that might confuse everyone.

They are very easy to get attached to, aren't they?

Thanks for the compliment.
