Stevie (

I got quite a surprise that I wasn't expecting when I got my mail today. There was a thick package from Carolina Veterinary Specialists that I wasn't expecting. I started walking back to my apartment, and carefully opened the package. I pulled out the...
Also known as d'Boy and Fat Boy, Stevie had to be euthanized today because of the aggressive growth of his cancer. A couple of weeks ago I noticed some swelling in his chin, and it just kept getting worse. I took him to the emergency room last week, and...
At his very lightest, just after his glossectomy, Stevie was down to about 8.5 pounds. That might not sound terribly light for a cat, but you have to keep in mind that he was about 16 pounds before he was stricken with cancer. Since his surgery a little...
Stevie is such a trooper, and a model patient! He wears a little sweater in order to protect his feeding tube from his curiosity, and to hold it in place. In six weeks, I can take him back for a low-profile (short) gastro tube. He is such a sweet boy...
I brought Stevie home today from Carolina Veterinary Specialists. I really can't say enough about how amazing they are there. First of all, they charged me $300 less than the low end of the quote, and $900 less than the high end of the quote. Also, they...
I have decided to do nothing but veg out tonight to give my brain a rest. Things have been BUSY! I went to visit Stevie today at the animal hospital. He had his surgery on Tuesday, and he's not ready to come home yet. I can't believe he has no tongue...
Today was my first day back to work after my mini-vacation. Too many meetings today! Stevie had his glossectomy today and the doctor said he is doing OK. I'm going to visit him tomorrow at 12:30. I should know tomorrow when he can come home. I'm a bit...
Stevie has gotten so skinny that it's hard to look at him, or pet him for that matter. The vet called me to see about 4/30 for his surgery but I haven't got the fundage together for it yet and the problem is that he's deteriorating so badly that he may...
I received a call from the oncologist on Friday regarding Stevie's potential candidacy for a glossectomy. The news could have been worse, and it could have been better. We're somewhere in the middle. The bottom line is that she recommends the surgery...
I dropped Stevie off just after 7AM to have his CT Scan today. I weighed him last night and was surprised to see that, even though his weight had been holding steady, he appears to have now dropped another pound. It feels strange to hold him sometimes...
Stevie goes for his cat scan on Monday at 8AM. It's going to be a tense day because we will find out if his cancer has metastasized beyond his tongue or not. Let's hope not, so that we can save him from this awful disease. A big thanks to my most awesome...
I'm actually feeling encouraged about Stevie. I know people will think I'm crazy, but I've decided to go for the cat scan and, if all goes well with that, the surgery. I can't put him to sleep in good conscience over money. He's the best cat ever, and...
I took Stevie to the oncologist yesterday, Dr. McFadden. I really liked her a lot. She was really nice, and genuinely caring about Stevie. She remarked at what an exceptionally sweet kitty he is. The bottom line is this: Give him a cat scan to see if...
I was only able to get Stevie to eat just a little over a third of a can of cat food today. His ulcerated tongue was bleeding a bit when he would try to chew, and he just wasn't interested in food today. He sees the vet on Tuesday so I'm hoping the medication...
I am Legend turned out to be pretty decent. It had a good pace, an interesting story, and I was engaged during the whole movie. I enjoyed it. I'm no movie reviewer, so that's all about I'm going to say about it. After I finished feeding Stevie this morning...
