Lola Goes to the Vet

Unfortunately, that cute red spot on Lola's belly wasn't healing because she had to keep licking it & the spot on her neck, which was caused by the cone did get nasty. We did not know this, however, until we could smell it b/c for us, Lola is not a lap cat.

But the visit to the veterinarian was good for both of us. They gave her an antibiotic shot as well as a shot to help alleviate her wanting to scratch, lick herself. I asked for a tranquilizer also, but they refused :( . The Vet did assure me, that Lola was not the usual cat, that her allergies were severe and that the food she had gotten into of Cali's weeks ago, would take a few more weeks to get out of her system.

I explained to the Vet, actually I think it was more like venting, now that I think of it, that If things didn't go right w/Lola, although I might see a future grand child, I probably would not have it overnight...if she got my drift.

She explained to me that b/c Lola's skin was so sensitive that a little petting might be ok, but then it would actually not feel good to her & that was why she would turn one moment from a sweet kitty to a Cujo Cat~ trying to scratch, bite and or claw us.
And she tested her reaction to light & dark & said that No, Lola had not been hit in the head, as I suspected, but that her pupil reaction was normal. (Don't know if I am buying that one)

And of course, due to the new surroundings and the other cat factor, that she was on guard.

She is all healed now. We went for a walk w/her stroller, Cali following us...see photos. One neighbor came off her lawn chair & wanted to see my Grand child! Imagine her surprise when she peeked in at Lola & then the realization that I would actually walk a cat in a stroller...Only in New York, she said as I continued on my route :)

Ok LOLA wants in on this: Hey Mom & Dad...so just when are you coming back? I think you have enough photos. And I have to say the ones with the Pigeons were my favorite! Could you bring one home for me? I never tasted anything European. Things are better here. The Dr. was very nice, and she told GrandMa I had to keep the cone on. So GrandMa put masking tape on the spots that caused me a problem. Only trouble now & you will understand this MOM, is that I look like a Ghetto Cat...seriously...masking tape all over the cone~it's embarrassing...I don't want to go out on the deck...These country cats Do Not Like us City cats, & now I can't get away with it.

I've been exploring the house, well more of it then before & I can tolerate, a bit seeing Cali, But I do not like watching her eat her treats, and all that good smelling food~FISH, TUNA, SHRIMP, I mean how cruel can these people be!!! I can't even get one tid bit! Instructions from the Vet.

Well, I hope you enjoy Rome, I've heard the love cats there!
