? Worried about shot 09/18/17 Squallie AMPS 87, +5/53, PMPS 89, +2/79, +3/69, +5.45/67

Yesterday

Squallie seems better this morning than he did last night. His appetite is back, thankfully. Hoping last night was just a passing "thing."

Prayers and healing vines for all who need them. Extra-special prayers for our friend Barbara, whose beloved Uncle went to the Bridge yesterday.

 

Surf safely Squallie. Nice start to the day

 

Good start!

 

I'm glad Squallie is feeling better. Nice start today.

 

Maybe Squallie was mourning Uncle last night - in any case, glad he's back to normal, Lucy

 

Uncle's passing broke my heart, I cried buckets last night.

 

Yes, that was a blow to all of us. Keeping Barbara in my thoughts and prayers.

I'm glad Squallie is over whatever it was. Sometimes we have an off day, so no surprise if our kitties do, too. Just so it's only a day!

 

Hope Squallie feeling better today, Lucy. ❤️❤️❤️

Sharing in and adding to vines for Barbara and Uncle and for all in need,
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

 

Squallie jumped away when I shot him tonight, like it hurt him. This is the first time he has ever done this. I'm worried I got him in a vein or more likely, a muscle. How concerned should I be?Also, he was eating when I shot him and now he won't eat, like he associates the food with pain.

 

I did that once in a while with Neko too. She got over it quickly. You and Squallie should be OK. Sometimes a muscle shot seems to onset a bit earlier. Sending vines.

I cried buckets about Uncle too. All that Barbara had to go through was a little too familiar and fresh. Sending comfort her way.

 

I went to shoot Gordy back in the beginning and we had these really long u40 needles for his insulin. I did the tent and he howled, so i just shot in the scruff. Later I looked ovet his leg and saw he had a big bruise under his fur =( i felt SO BAD. He got over it.

And for G, muscle shots tend to give me very late nadirs. So i guess it depends on the cat.

Poor Squallie! Hopefully he forgets it soon!

 

Thanks, Wendy. I'll test a little earlier tonight to make sure he's okay.

(((Hugs))) to you, Barbara and Uncle's experience has to be particularly painful to you, I'm sure. I'm just so sad about it, I cry every time I think about it.

 

Thanks, Cassie, I'll test him a little later in the cycle, too, lol. Squallie usually won't tolerate shooting him anywhere but in the scruff, so I try to shoot to the sides a bit so it's not always in the same place; guess I got too far to the side for him this time. I just don't want to cause him any injury!

 

Thanks, Sina.

 

Thanks, Tricia. I guess it's kind of been an off day for Squallie and me all day.

 

I hope you and Squallie have a good night. I'll be checking in to make sure he's feeling better, you too.
I accidentally got Uncle a couple of times in the muscle (I think) because he flinched and whipped around to look at me. I guess it's bound to happen from time to time.

 

Thanks, Barbara, for checking in on us. I think I must have gotten him in the muscle because he's never had a reaction like that before.

 

Well then, I'd have to say you have a really good track record. My Dad had a painted rock (it was the 70's) that said "nothing are perfect".

 

Lol, I remember the painted rocks, and then later, the pet rocks! We're a really silly bunch of humans, sometimes!

My track record isn't particularly good, just dumb luck, emphasis on the "dumb", lol.

 

Has Squallie eaten since the shot, Lucy?

 

Yes, he came back and ate his whole dinner, ultimately.

ETA: He seems to be pretty much his usual self.

 

Ahhh, the tummy wins out! Bet he's forgotten all about the ouchie shot.

 

good news!

 

Hope so!

 

He does like his food, lol.
