i think koko needs to go to the vet.
my black cat.
the one who just entered his gentleman years - finally.
he's turned out to be such a sweet cat.
he's limping.
he came in the other day favoring his front right paw.
i've been keeping him inside the last 2 days. yesterday he seemed better.
he was putting weight on it. still hobbling around mostly but he was attempting to use it.
today i all by pushed him out of bed trying to get to the baby in a hurry this morning. then he scurried ahead of me and stopped right in my path and got all but trampled.(i was still so asleep and teege had a bottle in his bed that sounded as if it still had formula in it. formula that would have been sitting in his bed for the last 4 or 5 hours - the stuff spoils at a rapid rate so i've heard. i was trying to get there to get it away from him and all but ran the cat over)
and now he limps worse than ever.
he won't use his paw at all!
i think i should take him in to be seen.
i wish TJ would call so i could ask him what he wanted me to do.
i don't really want a vet bill.
but i was mulling over the idea and they all need their shots. all 4 of them. though i don't want to spend the money he needs to go in regardless.
and if it is broken i can't very well just leav it like it is.
i was thinking of going to moms but can't leav poor koko alone if he's really hurt. the neighbors don't need to worry about not letting him get outside. then i figured i'd just bring him, but then i'd have to bring shelby - the other cat. she'd be so lonley. then i figured i may as well just take us all to moms b/c they all need to get seen by the vet.
i may as well just do it.
i don't want to drag them all.
i'd have to take so much stuff!
i don't know what to do.
it'd be easier if i could just call tj and say "what would you prefer i do? please tell me so i don't have to make a decision"
then there's the ever lurking question of what i do if it's going to cost a ton to fix koko's foot.
tj would tell me just to put him to sleep if it's going to cost alot.
this is what i get for marrying a guy in the military. i have to think and do for myself more than i'd like to! (i know that sounds dumb! sometimes it's just easier when he makes the decisions-even if i have to act out the plan alone.)
i guess come tomorrow if koko is not any better the best place to start is at the vet with shots and an x ray.
i'll just go from there.
so i guess this means i'm going to pack us all up-both dogs, both cats, me and the child of mine.
it's going to be a car load!

Oh no, I hope your kitty's foot is better. I think you should take him to the vet if it has been a few days and he is still limping. Poor thing. And yes, it is a carload but it would be the efficient thing to do since they do all need their check-ups. Maybe Auntie Shades can come help you? (I can't remember how far away she lives.) :)
we did go to the vet. it cost 225 dollars and we still don't have pain meds or antibiotics b/c they were waiting on the surgeon to give his seal of approval on the treatment the "new" vet diagnosed.
i'll update soon so you get the full story!
oh. auntie shades lives close by my parents. she was going to help but has to work. had i gotten an appt when she could go she would have. she wanted to.
i think the plan is, since now i only have to take 2 dogs and 1 other cat(since koko has had a complete workover) my mother will either watch the baby while i drag the rest over to the vet, or she will come with. b/c she probably could tend the baby and hold one of the dog leashes......
