Of course, the throttling of siblings could almost be considered a 'mercy killing'.

All I can say is thank goodness for the PDSA

Stuart · « **Reply #31 on:** August 06, 2017, 10:11:46 AM »

Hi Sue, yeah, she found her phone down the side of the car seat, she got a cheaper smaller one as an upgrade an now prefers that

Last time I buy her a phone

with regards
to Robbie, think I will start another post

Sue P (Paddysmum) · « **Reply #30 on:** June 28, 2017, 08:22:17 AM »

Liz, how is Sergei?

Will Pebbles be home with you again on Friday? I do hope so. I know I rest easier when their ashes are back with us.

Stuart, how's Robbie doing? Ouch about the phone......

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #29 on:** June 25, 2017, 15:32:03 PM »

Aww, sorry to hear about Pebbles

Good luck for Sergai

Liz · « **Reply #28 on:** June 25, 2017, 15:30:24 PM »

Not finished yet we had to have Pebbles PTS yesterday and 3 hours prior to that we had Sergai at the vets as he got his leg shut in our back door

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #27 on:** June 25, 2017, 15:04:45 PM »

I'll swap bills Liz - yesterday morning Lucy's bill was £854, and that doesn't include the £115 I paid on Wed. As she isn't home yet, that is likely to rise, and then she will likely need at least one more blood test and either an x-ray or surgery depending what the last two tests come back with.

Judecat (Paula) · « **Reply #26 on:** June 24, 2017, 22:30:11 PM »

Oh Stuart.

My original quote from our regular vet was £6-700 depending if he needed one or three teeth out, to be determined after the descale and polish. I took him to a different practice.

Stuart just to give you a little bit of relief, our vets bill this month still with 6 to go - 1 Booster and 6 Program injections not counted in, we have had 2 dentals, 2 lots of bloods, Insulin and needles for Donnie and to cap it off Hyper T number 4 Pebbles our 19yo feral diagnosed today currently stands at £969.00 with discount applied Just as well we love the darlings

as Lynn says

I would cry

still drying my eye's after Carol losing her phone, I paid £480 for it not even a year ago, Carol has a feeling that Marissa put it in the kitchen bin for a joke

bin's were emptied the day after

Thanks again Guys, just a wee update, Robbie is back to his usual self

and I am Back to work

Holy Cripes Paula, I thought My one was expensive, it was certainly more expensive than the last time he got a tooth out

off the top of my head it was broken down (roughly)

29:99 consultation fee
49:95 anesthetic
49:95 Dental
9:99 boarding ? He was taken in, in the morning at 9am and picked up at 16:30 - goodness knows what they charge per night?
payments for pain killers etc

plus vat

Och well LOL

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #21 on:** June 22, 2017, 12:25:37 PM »

Glad his bloods have come back normal

Judecat (Paula) · « **Reply #20 on:** June 22, 2017, 10:01:43 AM »

Sorry I missed this Stuart.

I am so glad that Robbie is more his normal self today.

As Sue said, it is very hard to keep a determined cat in when they don't want to be in.

I also think that you got a good deal. Merlin had a dental with one extraction a few weeks ago and it cost £259. Yikes! He managed to get out as well.

Sue P (Paddysmum) · « **Reply #19 on:** June 22, 2017, 09:52:14 AM »

That's cats fer ya. Tricky little blighters all the time. It's really hard to detain a determined cat without loss of blood, I find. Whilst we can lock our internal sureflap, we usually resort to sticking my document case in front of it, and a small table from a nest of tables behind it. As you've already seen, it doesn't always work.....

Good news about the blood tests, though no harm in telephoning back to ask if they covered off thyroid. I do it quite often - "Oh hello - yes we were in today with (whoever) and have forgotten whether we should administer drops once or twice a day..."

Stuart · « **Reply #18 on:** June 22, 2017, 09:40:18 AM »

Well the little Butter managed to get out again (never used the sureflap to lock him in before, think the times were wrong tho they looked fine to me?)

@ Tosker
He escaped Sue

Rosella there was no thunderstorm, he was like this the last time, just a bit freaked out, He was happier out the house, last time he curled up in next door neighbours garden and fell asleep - that time it was dry and sunny tho....ach well

Update, Mr Robert woke me up @ 04:30 with incessant meowing for food, he looks really bright and chirpy
just off the phone re blood results, not sure if they tested thyroid and can't remember if it was even mentioned

But apart from liver enzymes being slightly raised (nothing they are concerned about) his bloods came back absolutely fine

Rosella moggy · « **Reply #17 on:** June 22, 2017, 04:37:12 AM »

Hope Robbie settled down OK Stuart

The price for dental isn't that bad as it covered an extraction and price for bloods is a bargain. When do you get blood results? Did blood test include thyroid? I'd be surprised if it did tbh at that price.

Did you have thunder storm? Just wondering if that's what may have spooked yer lad. However, I've noticed a few of ours have looked a bit wide eyed for a few hours after general anaesthetic. I always try and lock ours in overnight in bedroom after GA. My nerves can't bear the worry otherwise.

Kay and Penny · « **Reply #16 on:** June 21, 2017, 23:13:53 PM »

my Tosker went out a dozen times after having 4 teeth extracted, and I woke up to find a mouse's head on the floor by the bed, and a ton of soil and leafy bits in the bed itself

so I'd keep him in for your own sake as well as his - he'll probably be flat out all tomorrow

Sue P (Paddysmum) · « **Reply #15 on:** June 21, 2017, 21:56:25 PM »

I think I would try and keep him in if you can Stuart. It could be an after effect of the anaesthetic.

Stuart · « **Reply #14 on:** June 21, 2017, 21:26:35 PM »

hmm Managed to get him in and have set the sureflap to lock, Robbie is going absolutely nuts and is scared
I've never seen him like this, should I let him back out? I have dried him with a towel

Stuart · « **Reply #13 on:** June 21, 2017, 20:46:30 PM »

Aye Sue, he came in and ate a sachet of food

then went straight outside again

shulda culda stopped him but he is a determined wee crater

hmm £79 for bloods Desley, I got a bargain LOL

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #12 on:** June 21, 2017, 19:51:40 PM »

Glad he only had to have one tooth out. What a shame the vet messed up the bloods though. It's a good price, I've just paid £79 for Lucy's bloods

Sue P (Paddysmum) · « **Reply #11 on:** June 21, 2017, 19:18:23 PM »

Ah. Hope he's not out long, Stuart.

Stuart · « **Reply #10 on:** June 21, 2017, 18:30:18 PM »

Hold on, take that Back, Robbie has pushed the biscuit box out of the way and has now escaped

and it's wet and raining outside

Not chasing him this time, last time he got a tooth out he escaped then too, I chased him to catch him but stopped when he ran out in front of a car

hope he does the same as last time and reappears when he is hungry

Sue P (Paddysmum) · « **Reply #9 on:** June 21, 2017, 18:23:05 PM »

Baloney Stuart - just as well you mentioned it to them. Ouch as to price.

Stuart · « **Reply #8 on:** June 21, 2017, 18:19:30 PM »

Thank's people, it must have worked

only one lower canine removed, his upper one that's is broken is OK

lower canine had it's root showing so that couldn't have been good

A currently drugged up Robert is still trying to get past the biscuit box wich is in front of the cat flap, I think he will give up shortly

nearly fell over with the bill too, £160 for one tooth extraction

I said well at least that is including the blood test
the receptionist looked puzzled and said "no, the bill is just for the dental"

I informed her that I had requested bloods to be done as he had lost some weight, loads of apologies and was asked "do I want it done?"
I said "Yes, that is what I requested" now I have to wait for the results plus it's another £39 for that

Lyn (Slugsta) · « **Reply #7 on:** June 21, 2017, 18:08:45 PM »

Sending lots of positive vibes your way ~~~

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #6 on:** June 21, 2017, 13:21:04 PM »

Good luck for the dental, and hope his bloods come back fine.
