Icky, Sicky Yet Again

Mom and I had to make a couple of emergency trips outside earlier this week, in the middle of the night, of course. Mom was happy that we made it out in time, but not very happy about me still having problems with throw-ups and diarrhea poos. Since my tummy has been acting up off-an-on for about a month now, Mom seemed to think we should go to see my vet. I disagreed, but was overruled.

So we went. The vet poked me with needles and thermometers...and shined bright lights in my eyes and ears...and took pictures of my insides...and stole some blood...and who knows what else.

Then the vet told Mom that my blood has a problem and that they needed to test my liver. So Mom took me BACK to the vet the next day and she had the audacity to leave me there. It was so incredibly rude of her! She LEFT ME at the vet! Can you believe that?! (I guess Mom used to do that to my sis Lexi, too, 'cause she had liver failure problems and the vet needed to do tests.)

Anyway, the vet stole more blood from me and then tried to get on my good side by giving me some food. No way. Not happening. I showed them -- I turned my nose up at it! That's right, I refused to eat that food that the vet offered me.

Mom came at lunch time and she actually brought me take-out! She got me a hamburger and she let me have the whole hamburger patty and even part of the bun. She never lets me have that much hamburger. It was heaven...


But then Mom took me back to the vet! I couldn't believe it. I got to eat a hamburger in the car...but she left me at the vet's office again instead of taking me home! It turns out that Mom tricked me. The vet needed me to eat so they could steal more blood and finish testing my liver. Since I refused the vet's food, Mom got me take-out just to get me to eat something.

My Mom's diabolical, I'm afraid. She's sneaky. I'm going to have to watch her...

Anyway, the vet called Mom with all of the test results and there's something sicky with my liver now. We don't know what, though. It could be my allergy medicine, but we're not sure. And my tummy problems? Those could be from my allergy medicine...or maybe a food allergy or something like that...or the sicky liver problem... Mom says we don't know yet.

The good news is that I'm back on my bland diet of hamburger and rice. No kibble. I love the hamburger and rice! But I really don't know what evil plans Mom and the vet have for me next. All I do know is that there better be some good squeaky toys in this for me!!!

Since I've been sicky, I've been acting super pathetic. So, here are some super pathetic, yet super cute, pictures of me from this week...






You know that I still love my squeakies, even if I have been not feeling the best. So, before you go thinking that I'm just napping all the time, you should probably take a look at this...




That was taken after my all-day session at the vet's office. I sure missed my toys... I might be sick, but a girl's still gotta play!

  3. Oh, Buttons, I hope you feel better soon. Girl had a little chuckle at your story--after my 2nd eye surgery, the vet offered me a piece of hot dog and I flatly refused. Girl had never seen me do that before! That night at our hotel she ordered Chinese delivered--the restaurant was flabbergasted when she ordered beef kabobs "those should be alright for my dog, right?"
    Tell your mom more hamburgers will fix you up no problem!

The vet stole all my toothies too. Dey got some of my blood too. Wonder what the vet does with all those things - puts it all back in some other anipal????? Makes you wonder.

  8. Sorry to hear that you are not feeling well. Maybe have your mom go check out http://www.holisticanimal.com/ and talk to Joyce.. she is wonderful about helping to manage and cure problems with all sorts of pets.
    I buy all my food from her and whether you believe in homeopathy or not-- It has worked time and again for me and my 2 dogs and 4 cats.. even with the cows.
    It might just be something to try and see if it works. Good luck.

  11. Sorry to hear you are not feeling well also. I had a similar experience at the vet this week and may, with permission, use your paragraph about the vet poking you. They did the same stuff to me.
