Bridgette

Today, Mom and Anna drove down with me to Windsor to take Bridgette for her rhinoscopy.

Bridgette has been having difficulty breathing for awhile. We've tried a variety of antibiotics, thinking it was some version of a kitty cold. When nothing worked, we went to Plan B which is to have her nose scoped to see what's inside blocking air flow.

I took her to Peak Veterinary Specialists and they were really wonderful with her - and me. Unfortunately, there is abnormal growth in the nasal cavity and it could be cancerous. The biopsy will come back on Friday and we'll know then whether it can be treated or not.

Let's just say this is not really good news for me, although I suspected this was going to be the case. I knew back in May, but taking Bridgette in got delayed because of Spott and Truman.

She was a good patient though and is now wandering around aimlessly while the drugs wear off. She did eat her dinner, so that's good.

  1. Geeeeeez, Cindy.............when it rains it pours. I hope you get some good news and your life with cats becomes mellow and stress free....at least until you have to retrieve/find/save Molly from her latest escape.

  2. Thanks Cathy! This is a bit of a struggle. But just to let you know, I believe Molly is hatching a new plan to escape. She looks way to guilty when I call her inside!!
