Re: That Schmoo, he is one tough kitty fighter -- 2.0

Monday report:   Hello to all Schmoosters at this beginning of our week.  Hoping everyone is on a positive or even keel!

 

Frankie saw her most excellent vet today and she has uveitis -- a painful inflammation of part of her eye. He believes it's a consequence of the progression of her dry FIP.  We at least caught it in time to prevent glaucoma or loss of vision.  It's something she'll probably have off and on for the rest of her life.  Her eye was completely clouded over.

 

She was very brave throughout her eye exam, blood work and antibiotic injection (she had a fever).  It was crowded today at the vet's, with many sick dogs in particular who were panicked and barking a lot -- a rough trip to the vet's today for sure.

 

But she is with us and at home where's she loved -- and she's a blessing, no matter how sick she becomes.  We're very glad she belongs to us and we belong to her:

I am so happy Frankie's vision will get better since it was caught so early.  The J's are the J's mostly great moments a few iffy ones thrown in for good measure.  Mom is still needing to regain strenth, but we are anxiously waiting to go to an event next week on the 31st.  I hope she can feel her total best.  I will tell you guys about it on the 1st., its a little quirky but should be good for a laugh or a possible good cry..Will share next week.

Have a blessed week dear friends..hugs

Tuesday report:  Greetings Schmoosters.  Frankie's eye is still bothering her, but she felt fiesty enough this morning to chatter so loud that a bunny on the back deck ran away!

 

Then of course it's off to nap time.  Note the symmetry of the paws at sleep.  @beauty junkie , this one's for you -- the pink jellybean toes are all yours. @Tissyanne , the nosy isn't speckled but it's a cute shade of pink:

She's precious.  I'd love to give those soft back feet a gentle squeeze - think she'd let me?  My Kiki even lets me massage her toes.  Kitters says, "No way!" to playing with kitty paws.

Good evening Schmoo family, 

 

Love this picture of Frankie. @Sammycat1, that nosy is precious, and she looks so happy. Makes my heart happy. Smiley Happy 

 

We had rain today, and tonight in the low 40's. Tomorrow in the 90's, and Thursday at least 100. Well, the cool rain was wonderful. 

 

I hope everyone is doing okay. I bought groceries for my Mom this morning, and ate lunch at her house. The surgery is 3 weeks old today, and she is now walking with a cane. Her swelling is gone, and legs are even. Smiley Happy

Re: That Schmoo, he is one tough kitty fighter -- 2.0

Wednesday report:  We're swimming in eye drops here at the House of Schmoo.  The girls are on 4 different types!  They take them like champs, though -- miraculous considering about a year ago when we first got them that they'd tear a hole in us when we tried to give them an ear drop.

 

@lynne6was7Frankie, once she put you through a multi-month "get to know her" program, would probably let you pet the tops of her toes.  Touching the bottoms so far is strictly forbidden!

 

@Tissyannegreat to hear that your Mom is bouncing back so well and the legs have evened out.  That happened to my hospital roommate who got her hip done...uneven at first then everything got into sync.  Come up here for a visit, we were a cool 70 degrees today (which is crazy cool for us!)

 

@beauty junkieI live to please with photo ops of Jelly Bean toes.  Schmoo permitted a "light fondling" of the jelly beans, but then he'd retract. I bet he'd let you have a smooch though.  Smiley Happy

 

We're looking forward to when Frankie's eyes improve enough that she can right back in the saddle watching TV and playing video games with DH.  That will be a sight for our sore eyes:

Re: That Schmoo, he is one tough kitty fighter -- 2.0

Sammycat, I am glad to hear that the girls are letting you put in their eye drops, they know that, even if the liquid stings or tastes funny when it runs down their tear ducts and into their mouths and throats, it is still medicine that makes their eyes better, meant to help them see and feel their best.  I keep Frankie and Fay Wray in my prayers every day.

 

To everyone in the Schmoo family, I keep you all, your pets and your human family members, in my prayers for health and healing every single day, even if I don't post often.  We are all bound together in the web of love of our pets and of one very special pet, a mystical, magical lion of an orange tabby cat named Schmoo.
