Go big or go home? Tamale did both: She was a big shot at the vet, before going home. And given all the tests, she was a champ! And there were a lot of them... She was sedated with butorphanol, and had lung xrays, abdominal and heart ultrasounds, pancreatic blood test, and from the lungs: a thoracocentesis - the needle pulled out 130 cc of fluid (about a half cup!) - so she’s back on heart and diuretic meds (and no more subQ fluids - again). She’s got pancreatitis, episodic, not chronic... There was some good news: no enema needed

Tamale had a seriously awful reaction to Mirtazapine yesterday. ⚠️We were up all night - she was in total distress (panicky, drooling, panting, crying, etc) and there was nothing I could do for her. I can’t believe she hypersalivated and crawled in circles and frenzy, nonstop for 15 hours. It’s a drug to stimulate appetite and she’s had it before, but this time, it was way too powerful. And so far, it hasn’t even worked She wouldn’t even drink water until late this morning. She’s still feeling some of the effects and will for another 24 hours or more. I’ve

Tamale had so much love from all of you! She died at home this morning, I was holding her. Please do not send gifts: Tamale would prefer you donate in her name to your local or favorite pet nonprofit. She herself was rescued from the streets at 3 weeks old. Catdad and I have a lifetime of joyous memories, and while we are sad, we are also grateful to have known this special girl. We will post a full memorial in a few days. And we are so sorry for *your* loss, because Tamale was as much this community’s cat

We are at the vet. This video was shot at the Ranchito, right before we left. Tamale is getting abdominal Ultrasound and possibly a pancreatitis blood test. Stay tuned. This could be an all day event. She’s such a sweet girl and is being very cooperative. I, on the other hand, am a bundle of knots . . #tamaleceo #tamalecandoit #toughasnailstamale #tamalestrong #tamaleclub #tamalesassypants #tamale2020 #tamaleceovideo #tamalesbigheart . #TamaleCEO and #StarkRavingCat : unique toys and gifts Handmade at #starkravingranchito #txhillcountry near #Austin #ATX StarkRavingCat webshop link in bio, also on #etsy #etsyshops

Tamale demonstrates the art of not eating her food... Actually, she did eat a few bites earlier. Not enough for my liking but apparently good enough for her... I bet this sequence looks very familiar to cat moms and dads. In the end, she won, and I took the bowl away. Cats always win, right? . #TamaleCEO and StarkRavingCat: hip toys, tents, gifts, ornaments, earrings, and greeting cards for cats and cat lovers, at #starkravingcat online and on Etsy, from #Austin #ATX #txhillcountry #starkravingranchito #etsy #etsyshops See link in biot
