turpsWe had to drop Murphy off at the vets yesterday at 8:30. He was going in for his teeth check, which meant an anaesthetic for him so he could get x-rays done and a full health check over. I wasn't expecting many issues but it turns out he has a genetic thing that meant he had to have multiple teeth removed. His pointy teeth and front ones are fine but he lost quite a few back ones, and the vet said eventually he'll probably lose them all.
He's doing fine, was high as a kite when he came home with two shaved front legs, a bald patch on his neck and puffed up like a balloon from having fluids. But he's eating and running around the crazy again so it hasn't traumatised him too much.
And I have to say, paying the £75 insurance excess and knowing we didn't have to worry about paying the rest of the bill was a good feeling.
The only issue is, his check-up is next Tuesday. While James is off, I'll be at the hospice at the same time. Normally Kayleigh would help but she'll be at work but the receptionist said someone would get the carrier from the car and if James can't manage to carry it to the car at this end, we have quite a few neighbours that would help. It does mean I'll need to rearrange my B12 appointment at the doctor's, that's at 8:30 and I need to be getting transport just after nine, which was just doable, but would have meant getting Murphy in his carrier two hours before his appointment which isn't fair.
Now watch, I bet the post will arrive later with James' appointment for next Tuesday too.
Have a photo of Murphy looking a bit sorry for himself
While at the vets I saw they have a new thing up, a sign with a candle in front of it saying if this candle is lit it means someone is taking their cat for its last journey so please keep voices low and be respectful. I think that's such a good idea, I've shed so many tears in those consulting rooms and while I wouldn't resent anyone if I heard them laughing it's a nice nod of respect.
