Duchess: blood drawn today to check for problems related to Hill's m/d food; will also check for diabetes status.
Jackie: blood draw was also her first visit to this vet. She displayed enough of the signature Jackie attitude that they actually put a muzzle on her. She brings it on herself, she really does. Fortunately she seems fine & doesn't even need teeth cleaning.
Little Girl: no vet visit today. Blood work clean, biopsy negative, incision neither red nor puffy. This morning I saw her in "Playing the Cello" position (one rear leg pointed at the ceiling, head down) industriously grooming the inside of her Elizabethan collar. She's gotten very good at cleaning the inside of that collar. By the time she goes back to get her stitches out, that collar will have been cleaned so much that it will be utterly disgusting.

Anyway, purrs and crossed fingers for your kitties, especially for Duchess. The scope of the tainted pet food seems to be getting wider and wider every day. I really hope Duchess will be OK.
And I laughed about Jackie's trip to the vet. I once had a cat who needed an overnight stay in an animal hospital due to sudden, severe anemia (she survived fine). The hospital was staffed 24/7 and staff members checked her out several times during her stay, and then added their notes to her chart. At one point, someone had noted: "This cat has a very bad attitude." They didn't muzzle her, but probably only because she was so wiped out from the anemia. But what do you expect from a cat who's stuck in a strange place with scary smells, and people sticking painful things into you?
Hope all your kitties are OK!
