Thread: Good vibes needed for Brucee please....

Oh Jackie

Poor Brucie, heaps of hugs and healing thoughts from all in this household xxx

Have left my boy at work still a bit bemused by everything but daddy will pick him up in another couple of hours.I am normally in at work if I have anything done to my animals but today was my day for actually being in the op theatre & have to say I felt pig sick handling him & now have ended up with a stinking headache.
Good news is that his spine is fine,boss thinks that because he is so long backed & very lean that perhaps he tweaks it wrong on occasions because {badish bit} in lay terms his hips are completely cream crackered,both have chronic oesteoarthritis in them but we can cope with that,we will take him to see the chiro vet again next week & after him looking at the xrays will work out the best course of action for him,even if he has to go more often & he certainly had seemed better this weekend having been three weeks on the trot,he will have pain relief for the next couple of days having been pulled about but hoping chiro & yes Candes will be trying him on nutraceuticals as well hopefully will be able to avoid long term use of pain killer for a while.
He had his teeth checked at the same time & although he has had bouts of gingivitis from a kitten & the tooth abscess a few weeks ago there were no problems with his mouth at all,no Forls on any teeth,no pockets in the gums which tend to develop with signs of gum disease & although boss done a scale & polish it was with tongue in cheek because there was nothing to remove,not bad for a nine year old cat bless him.
Now have a 24hr wait for blood results,having the whole screening done on him,might as well,I know things can change quickly in animals but we might as well have a starting point.
Had better give the other cats a bit of time because once a certain other one arrives I might just have to have a few extra cuddles,if he forgives me that is....

Fingers crossed for good news tomorrow Jackie! I hope Bruce isn't too cross at being left in the vets! x

Somehow missed this thread, so sorry for poor Bruce and his troubles, but isn't he just in the best possible hands, he is a very lucky boy in that respect. Hope he feels better soon xxx

Do I look with it yet....?
Think it is going to take him a little while yet to be back to normal,he looked better than this when I left off work at 2pm so just backs up what we tell clients "When they get home & feel relaxed they could turn very sleepy again"thanks Bruce,still doesn't want to know mum so Shimba looking after his uncle.

I didn't know Bruce was a red! I love him even more now! He's beautiful x

Poor boy, hope he's much brighter tomorrow x
