We're still missing about 11 cats but will continue to get them done. All of the above received their physical from Dr. Darcy. We then gave them their distemper update vaccine, a wormer and applied Frontline to each. The findings: all in good health. A few ears had wax and were cleaned.
There's a few that needs a dental: Ceasar, Olaf, Mew, Oliver, Rowland and Rory. Ceasar's is more extensive but we think the others will be pretty mild dentals. Cliff has 1 incisor that we'd like to pull, here at FFRC. It is starting to ride up in where his cleft lip is.
I've been concerned that Vivienne wasn't up to par---running a fever, not eating. I did give her fluids yesterday morning early. We also started her on a "nausea cocktail"--it's a triple combo of an anti-nausea, stomach protector and an appetite stimulant. Seems to be working as she is now eating. Hoping we can get her back out tomorrow. It's important that she starts using that rear leg.
We do have hard news on Cleo. Dr. Darcy confirmed that she does have a tumor in her head. It's not operable. She is already at the stage where it's causing a head tilt for Cleo. We do have her on soreness meds---started those early last week. For now, we will love her and feed her and do whatever she wants of us. But, there will come a time soon that we will help her cross over to the Bridge. I have never believed in waiting to the last minute to help a pet pass. Thank you for loving her and caring about her.
We have many thanks to give. I'm so sorry I've gotten behind. Please know you are appreciated!

Tomorrow is our FFRC surgery day. Because of the number of surgeries we have for our own cats, we are only able to take in a few of the public cats. Here's the scoop:
1 public spay, 1 public neuter
Plus Dr. Darcy will be bringing 2 kittens that need neutered--not sure if boys/girls yet
For FFRC: Poppy (spay), Veronica (spay), Helen (spay), Kieffer (neuter). Then we have 3 tails: Trucker, Magic and Chloe.
Dr. Darcy has already looked at these tails and has her plan for these cats.
Because we need to use the back Thumper's Room as our surgery room tomorrow, we will be moving the 3 mamas and all the babies to the Kitty Kabana Room. The window that goes to the purple office will be closed, as will the door in between the two rooms and the little cat door. This way, they can have the Kabana all to themselves. You'll have to watch them on the other kittycam!
If you've been seeing Farrah limping, you are correct. Dr. Darcy has already looked at her. It's felt that she has not fractured her rear left leg, but it is indeed very sore. Farrah has always had a "clumsiness" about herself (don't tell her I said that!). She has probably taken a fall. She is on 2 different soreness meds. Because of the discomfort, she has been resting a lot and being still, which is what we want. Cage rest doesn't work for Farrah--she becomes frantic and very upset. Our sweet girl should heal with rest.
I think that covers most things for now. Have a beautiful day!
