Befriend the Montagues and invite a load of Capulets to come and live with us.  What could possibly go wrong? 

Charming.  Taking out numerous civilian aircraft as well as the buildings full of people from all places and walks of life.  What a  guy.  What a twat.

Quote from: Alex on Today at 12:22:51 PMI do hope Tigger will be ok Dex, could it be arthritis as he's getting on for 50 ?

Possible, I guess, but this is more of an injury of sorts.  He's as fit as a fiddle other than this and, er, the newly discovered heart murmur.

If I could persuade Tigger to come out from behind the settee, then I'd be able to watch him breathe .... the vet suggested around 30 per minute would be about right.

I'd also be able to administer his meds.  Didn't do I earlier as I want him to be aware of where the new litter tray is in case he gets a dose of the trots from the painkiller.

Hopefully he'll come out soon and I can get him spaced out enough with a first dose.

I shall indeed get a stethoscope to monitor his heart, amongst other things.  Cheers Mups.

Although I haven't looked too closely, I'm pretty sure that the squirrel seems to have been euthanised some time ago.  Although, other squirrels are available, as indeed are a plethora of highly irritable magpies.  So, there's still a change of it being a wound of some kind.

Finally, thank you for your continued interest and support in Tig's current tale of woe.

Quote from: muddy on Today at 01:46:57 PMI took someone's cat to the vet for an injection it was the sweetest most docile cat and I told the vet this .
However of how to administer medicine and to swaddle a cat with a poorly leg in order to get him in the carrier.

Very strange how the animals they use when he stuck it with the injection  it leap about 10 ft onto a cupboard from which vantage point it glared down on us snarling with the syringe still sticking out of its body .

Without a wo he took out a rolled scroll .

Quite.  I have, in the past and obviously today, watched some youtube reels on how to administer pills and indeed swaddle a cat with an injured paw to prevent further injury (to all parties concerned!!) while getting him in the carrier.

The cats they use must be dosed up to their eyeballs with gas and air, since they seem unusually docile and unphased by such procedures.

Why? Did they stick when you chucked them against the wall?

Quote from: Mups on Today at 12:53:51 PMI think I'd still get that stethoscope though,  then I could check it myself.

I think the best I could manage with a stethoscope on a cat would be confirmation of life and that would come from the fight not anything I might hear.

This is Charlie (right) and wee Suzie (left) Only cats I ever had. As you can see Charlie was the boss, the dogs size didn't bother him one bit, he would bully and push until he got what he wanted, wee bugger.

We had a cat that used to catch squirrels and stuff them in the bookcase .
Later he developed a cough and was increasingly poorly .
When they operated on him they found he had a desease in his lungs that was normally caught from squirrels .
There was ( at that time ) no cure so they let him go while he was still under anaesthesia .😢

Thanks Mups he's such a good boy never puts a foot wrong and everyone loves him .

Nice picture of him, Muddy.
