Hi everyone! We are joining Athena’s Caturday Art Blog Hop and The Pet Parade.
I used Sammy photo with the card he made for me at Cat Scouts -Lunapic’s Candy Effect
My vet is still closed, it has been 2 months. I couldn’t make Sammy wait any longer ad his rash looked painful. There is a vet in my town that used to be holistic, but is now a regular vet and they had an appointment Thursday so I brought him there. I had to wait in the car which was unsettling being that i had never met anyone there, but they were nice. Sammy got an antibiotic shot plus an antibacterial spray. His thyroid is off again too so his dose has been increased. I was happy to hear that because he had lost weight and that is an easy fix.
By the way, I have nothing against holistic in addition to regular meds.
There is a puzzle:
I’m glad you were able to get a vet to look at Sammy, and take care of what was needed.
Thank you. Me too. 🙂
SO glad Sammy was checked out!
I use a lot of holistic things for me and hubby…and sometimes for the furry ones, if the vet approves…he did, both for Minko and Pipo, back in the day…and he will for Dalton & Benji too.
Thank you. I like a mix of regular and holistic. XO
We are sending our buddy Sammy a pile of POTP and hope the meds work to make him comfortable again. Glad you found a doctor who could see him!!!
Hugs, Teddy
Thank you. XO
Oh, we sure hope Sammy does okay with his meds, no matter what kind of care he’s getting. Stay warm, and try to enjoy your weekend.
Thank you. XO
Not being able to get into the Vet’s office with Katie is a hard thing. I know what you mean. And mine was closed for a month or so too and the have enforced the pet parents can’t come in rule for a year.
That is a long time. My vet should have only been closed for 2 weeks not 2 months- something is up. XO
I am so happy to hear that Sammy is on the road to recovery and you found a vet that you could trust. Sending Sammy “get better” thoughts. Hope he can lose the cone soon!
Thank you. He needs it for 10 days. Poor guy. XO
Glad to hear that you found another vet for Sammy. Hope he’s better soon.
Thank you. XO
Great artwork and we hope Sammy is better soon. We have to finish our card.
Mom’s vet in NJ was holistic/regular. She was wonderful.

Thank you. XO
Awww, I am so glad you found a vet to help Sammy! I prefer holistic instead of meds, as well.
I like a mix, sometimes an antibiotic is needed. XO
I wish we had a holistic vet near me. Unfortunately there isn’t one for 30 miles or more.
I am not sure where there is one in my area now.
Sammy is so lucky to have such a devoted Mom as you Ellen.
Maybe seeing this vet was a happy accident and now you have one closer to visit.
Hugs Cecilia
Thank you. Yes, I agree. XO
Nice post. Glad Sammy got to the vet. It’s hard to wait in the car and go over your cat’s needs with a vet over the phone or in a parking lot. Sounds like Sammy is on the mend. And you got to check out a new vet.
Thank you. It is hard, but better than no vet care.
The art is beautiful and I’m glad to hear Sammy got some help! 🙂 <3
Thank you. XO
That’s very pretty art and I’m glad you were able to get Sammy in to see a Vet.
Thank you. XO
I’m glad Sammy got to see the vet although I know it is frustrating not to be able to go in with him. Nice art, and Happy Caturday to all! XO
Thank you. XO
Glad Sammy got to see the vet! We don’t like that we cannot go in with our Pawrents but we do what we gotta do, I guess. We can understand it’s double scary when you never met that vet before. Have a Happy Caturday!
Thank you. I am glad it worked out.
Charlee: “We’re glad you were able to find a place to see Sammy!”
Chaplin: “We hope you feel better soon, Sammy!”
Charlee: “It’s the same here with the sitting in the car at the vet. They come out to get us and bring us in to look at us and then they call Mama or Dada to discuss things.”
Chaplin: “We’re sure glad Dennis isn’t around for this. Can you imagine what would have happened if the vet came and tried to take him out of the car without Mama and Dada coming with him?”
Charlee: “Yes I can, and the term ‘apocalypse’ comes to mind.”
Thank you. Yes, I can imagine that would have been a problem.
That is some really nice Art of Sammy. So glad he is alright. I think I need my thyroid checked as I am losing weight. Toby is on his meds and looks like he is 4 years old. Panfurs are like that
Thank you. Good idea to get checked. XO
We are so furry happy that Sammy got to see a vet. When we had to take Nellie to a different vet in Vancouver, we liked the new one so much we changed vets! Thanks for mentioning about the Thyroid, Kozmo has lost quite a bit of weight in the last couple of months and I am thinking I should take him in and get his checked. You are AWESOME! Have a terrific day!
Thank you. Yes, good idea to get him checked. Hopefully that is all it is. XO
I’m glad you were able to get Sammy looked at, and that it went well. It’s difficult enough going to a new vet, without the added stress of not being able to go in. I wish we had a holistic vet around here, or one that did a combination of holistic and traditional medicine, even better.
Thank you. A combination is good.
I am glad you were able to get Sammy to a vet. It was good that they saw that his thyroid meds needed increasing too. The art is lovely, and thanks for the puzzle.
Thank you. XO
Glad Sammy is OK and the art is great!
Thank you. 🙂
Glad to know that Sammy is doing ok.
Thank you. XO
We love your artwork. And we are happy that Sammy got to see the vet. All paws crossed that the meds will be working asap.

Thank you. XO
I’m glad you were able to get Sammy taken care of. I hope he starts improving soon. I’m surprised your vet is still closed. Mine has been open for a few months now. The only thing is we have to wait in the car and not in the lobby until they are ready for us which is fine. They have all the safety precautions in place – mask, handwashing, etc. Anyway, glad you were able to be seen.
Thank you. I am surprised mine is still closed too. XO
That’s great news about Sammy getting to the vet and getting treatment. Hope he feels much better soon, and tell him his art is beautiful.
Thank you. XO
Glad to hear Sammy was able to see the vet and hopefully get some relief.
Thank you. XO
We are so glad you were able to get an appointment for Sammy, and that he will be okay!
Thank you. XO
I’m so pleased to hear that you got an appointment for Sammy. What a relief that must be for both of you! xo
Yes, it is. XO
What fun art! I’m glad you were able to get Sammy seen.
Thank you. Me too. 🙂
It’s unnerving to be outside, while our beloved cats are inside! Sweetie is a purrfect lady, they say…but she turns into a demon when I try to slip those meds into her!
Purring that Sammy’s rash disappears soon!
Off to puzzle…thank you!
It sure is. Thank you.
