My cat's health issues

[Koronin]

Esp the dental part very well may be an age thing. We are actually thinking the thyroid has been going on much longer, but no one before our new vet knew to look for it because she has the opposite reaction to the majority of cats with it. The not being able to sleep with or cuddle her is going to be difficult esp since she likes to sleep above our heads at night.
I'm picking her up tomorrow afternoon. So I've actually waited to change out the litter and will be doing that tomorrow morning. Figured I was best to wait until the last possible moment to change the litter.

we slept with our cat the first night! Human beings get a much higher dose than pets and they are not quarantined or told to sleep alone.
I'm way beyond child bearing age and I figured 2 days at the vet's was enough trauma for her.

2 days?? my cat stayed at the clinic for a week (by law in Canada), then was told I could have limited exposure to him for the following 10 days. I was to change his litter immediately after he did his business and to throw EVERYTHING out while wearing gloves.

wow, Badger, talk about overkill! how traumatic.

[Koronin]

Tiger is home. Picked her up later afternoon today.

Badger, wow is that overkill.

Our vet said that she can sleep with us if she wants to. The guidelines do say to have her sleep alone at night, but my vet said that that really applies more if there are children around and since we don't have children that she does not have to be closed off at night. My vet also told me that I do not have to wear gloves to scoop the litterbox, but to wash my hands throughly after scooping if not using gloves. (Heck, I do that anyway).

Glad you got your kitty back!

Thank you. We're really happy to have her back home.
