Bad Pet Health Day
On Thursday we took Freyja for a follow appointment and Bronx in for an updated vaccination. Good news and bad news.
Good news is that Bronx and Freyja both love the vet. Bronx was exploring the exam room and while the doc was checking Freyja, Bronx kept trying to jump into her lap. The vet noted that she has never seen a cat try to do that.
The bad news is Freyja’s back left knee. She has a torn ACL. 
She is limping around at times, especially after running a bunch or lying down after a while. We are going to talk to the vet to schedule surgery on her knee, and then she’ll need a 10 week recovery period. Right now we need to keep her from moving around a bunch. After the surgery, she is going to need to stick in place for a long time. I feel really bad for her. Even though she is in pain and having problems with her back leg, she still wants to be active and doesn’t show pain. She wants to play and be around everyone. She is being a trooper. Stay tuned for more updates about the surgery and when it is and how it goes.
Bad news part 2 is Bronx after the appointment. When he got home, he started throwing up. 7 times. He was not his normal self. The injection he received was having an allergic reaction. Off we raced to the pet emergency clinic. On the way there, he was quiet which is odd since he normally is very vocal during car rides. Another reaction appeared on the ride over, diarrhea. At the clinic, the diarrhea became bloody. The vet gave him some drugs to stop the puking and diarrhea and a bunch of fluid to prevent dehydration. The drugs made him really lethargic. He didn’t move the rest of the night when we got home. After a 24 hour fasting period, he is back to his normal self. Though it was really scary for a while. The allergic reactions could have been fatal if really severe.
Bronx is fine, Freyja has a long road ahead of her. Stay tuned.
