Scooter Update 4.1

I visited Scooter. Saw the MRI. The problem is Quite Evident. There is nothing wrong with her spine at all. Nothing. There’s this tumour in the tissue surrounding the spine. It’s a bright white spot. Scooter was in good spirits, I pet her, brushed her, and fed her some food out of my hand. She’s […]

Scooter Update 4.0

It’s 919am and I have news on my beloved kitty, Scooter. She had her MRI at the people-MRI centre and she handled the anaesthesia fine — which the vet says surprised her. They’ve reviewed the results. This will sound odd, but the best possible news would be for a benign tumour compressing the spinal column. […]

Today’s Scooter Report

Down to the wire and tomorrow’s the big, bad day. I visited Scooter again this morning. She was alert and responsive today. It didn’t make the visit any easier. She greeted me with a meow. She nuzzled me and suffered her brushing gladly. I gave her a Petrodex treat which she ate out of my […]

Scooter News — More

The orthopaedic guy has inspected Scooter. She is not a candidate for anything but the most minor surgery The odds on there being anything that can be done are close to zero. Doctors Cabeza, Child, Diaz, and he all agree. That’s four vets with the same basic opinion. However, it might be a small tumor […]

Scooter Visit (Tues)

I went to visit Scooter today after work, or more accurately I left work before 4pm and went to visit Scooter. They made me wait a few minutes before I could see her. Because she can’t be moved, I have to visit her back in the actual clinic — they normally don’t allow visitors. But […]

Quick Scooter Update :(

I don’t have too much to report and what I have is not good. I didn’t get any further answers out of the emergency vet last night, so this morning I called the regular vet. He called the emergency vet and he has no ideas either. I spoke the head doctor at the emergency vet […]

No More Scooter News Really

No More Scooter News Really Scooter is still in hospital. All tests so far are negative, and the gas is gone and she’s still immobile. The vet is running additional tests in an effort find the problem. She’s not comfortable at all and there’s no clue as to the issue. I am expecting additional news […]

What a Bad Day

What a bad day. I woke up, because Scooter decided it was time for breakfast. I went to the bathroom and did my usual stuff and she followed. She did something really weird, put her paws full forward, spread her rear legs and looked like she was trying to take a crap in the bathroom. […]

Irony In Spades and Stupid-Ass Insurance Companies

In a statement regarding new sanctions against Zimbabwe today, President Bush declares that “No regime should ignore the will of its own people and calls from the international community without consequences.” That quote is from whitehouse.gov so there’s no media slant at all. Apparently, he doesn’t realize his own words apply to him as well. […]

More Car and More Politics and Scooter

CAR I have insurance. Yay. Tomorrow, I begin regular use of my new car. My MDX has been turned in after its inspection (passed just fine). I put the HAT TRK tag on the X5 though it’s still technically registered to the MDX. One hopes BMW is making haste with that transfer. (I have a […]
