Misty Grey

So it has been two weeks.  Misty is curled up on my lap right now as I write this.  She sleeps there much more comfortably now than she did the first day she tried it.  I have been putting a blanket over my lap, it helps her feet not fall down between my knees when […]

OK, I uploaded the videos from Sunday to Youtube and I have gotten the code to try and embed them here.  Let’s see if I can make it work properly. Here is Misty playing with the little Kong I got for her – I thought it might encourage her to use her front left paw […]

Misty has been super cuddly and clingy the past couple days.  She has spent most of every night snuggled up against me in bed, and whenever, wherever I sit down she follows and sits as close as she can get – on my lap if possible.  This morning I woke up and found her like […]

Misty’s done with her buprenorphine and she seems more energetic and sleeps less deeply than she did when she was on it. I took some videos of her hopping across the kitchen and then standing up on her hind legs to take treats out of my hand, and of her nudging her Kong around with […]

Tonight will be Misty’s last dose of buprenorphine. I am not really sure she still needs it, but the instructions say “Give until gone.” I talked to the vet’s office yesterday – they called to see how she was doing. They said to keep giving it to her. She woke me up this morning meowing […]

I tried to post this last night, but my PC was already shut down for r night, and I had misplaced my iPad (found it in the closet this morning).  So I tried to post it from my phone instead, and got an error message: Forbidden. For some reason I am apparently unable to access […]

Misty is on my lap for the first time since surgery! <3

Below is the text of the biopsy report.  As I said in a comment, I don’t understand all the nitty gritty stuff yet, but I will be talking it over with my vet and the oncologist.  The upshot is, the amputation should be curative.  No chemo/radiation ordeal to dread. It sounds like the tumor had […]

Here’s Misty’s new shirt.  It isn’t readable in the photo, but the back of the shirt says “You rescued my heart” and I think it is super cute. There were pink and red ones but not in size small. Not sure she would want pink anyway. She’s always been prettiest in purples and blues, I […]

She’s all medded for the night and sleeping comfortably and of course cutely here on the couch beside me. Her meds, by the way, are .5 ml gabapentin twice a day, and .15 ml buprenorphine every 6-12 hours. When I brought her home she’d had both in the morning and they said she wasn’t showing […]
