Greetings, salutations and top of the morn to you all!
Today I have a tutorial the title is
'How not to be crammed in
your PTU for a unexpected trip to the vet...especially during a good nap'.
I am addicted to face marking aka rubbing my whiskers and mouth all over my peeps because they stink it helps me identify them as MINE w/o opening my eyes.
So here is the story about 10 days ago mom reading a book
I'm rubbing one of her knuckles with the left side of my face...when she drops the book while bellowing Madi what is that on your face, let me see your face, she gets me in a choke hold, grabs my chin with one hand. She nearly rub my furs off my face. I told her to
let go of the diva...but she just held tighter.
The woman found an itty bitty bump under my furs on the left side of my face...the arrow in the photo below marks the spot...
Friends every day for the next 9 days she rub it like she expected me to grant her a wish. Finally on Wednesday 2/17/16...
she told Dad she would not rest until my vet looked at it.
I told her it was nuttin'...but did she listen?
Off we go to the VET...the woman is paranoid!!
Well I was right it was nuttin...it is a whisker folliculitis aka
in grown whisker that has formed a pimple. Normally a topical antibiotic cream is given but since it is so close to my lips the vet suggested we give it some time 'cause I might lick it too much.
If need be, there is an antibiotic injection they can give me.
I was hoping for some salmon flavored cream.
AS YOU CAN SEE, THIS WAS A SLOW
MEWS DAY...
we had to resort to talking about pimples.
In conclusion...remember this bit of mews, if you are a habitual face maker, it can create havoc in your otherwise peaceful life
of lounging and naps!!
of lounging and naps!!
Sorry, ya lost me at salmon cream. YUMMMM.
ReplyDeleteWe know how the peeps panic. Roxy was whisked off to the Vets this morning. We're glad you only have a pimple. roxy gave nothing away, though she's been very quiet at home.
ReplyDeleteAt least it wasn't anything important, Madi!
ReplyDeleteHehe, I is laffings, sorry Madi butts did your Mom really take you to the VETman fur a pimple......really you do haf to laffs at our peeps!
ReplyDeleteIt's a bit like Dad trying to remove a freckle from Mia finking it wuz a tic!

ReplyDeleteCrikey Madi, talk about 'overboard'.... then again - what if mum hadn't got it checked out? On reflection, you might be better to indulge her... hugs and wags, YAM-aunty xxx (who is very glad it was 'nuttin')
I like the pictures with Madi. I think I should try to do some with my cats while my friend will do my homework. That could be even like some greeting cards!
ReplyDeleteThank goodness it was only a pimple, Madi!
ReplyDeleteWe never heard of pimples from face marking. Are you marking things you are allergic to, maybe? (Not your humans, you aren't allergic to THEM!) One of the cats who came before us got pimples from a plastic food bowl, and it turned out he was allergic to plastic.
ReplyDeleteHmmm! Sometimes our Mommy gets pimples. Who/what has she been rubbing her face on!!!! Now us dogs are suspicious of our Mommy's whereabouts when she is supposed to be at "work." This post has been most informative! Thank you.
ReplyDeleteAw Madi, mom was just be sooper careful with her favorite Diva! Glad it was nothing major. I hope you granted Mom that wish!!!!
ReplyDeleteMadi I'm so glad the problem is solved :o) My momma said she totally understands your momma, that was the best idea to show it to the vet i-meow-diately :o)just between us: my mother is the one who drove to the vet because of a lump between the pads of my paw. the lump was an ole bubblegum mixed with dirt :o)
ReplyDeleteOH NO! Raz says he would have gone with you to hold your paw. We're glad it's nothing serious.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
your guy Raz and The Florida Furkids
Oh yuck! that is at the thought of salmon ice cream.. he he he and a real Yuck at your pimple. I do hope it goes away and you do not have to be stuffed and toted off to the vet again....
ReplyDeleteWe're sure glad it turned out to be ok. But it was just awful that there you were, trying to be cute and sweet and helpful and this mean thing happened to you!
ReplyDeleteWe are SO relieved it's nuttin', Madi!!!
ReplyDeleteCute photos of the Diva!!
Hugs and nose taps,
Kathy and Molly
We think maybe you should have granted her a wish, that would have really freaked her out...teeheehee.
ReplyDeleteSeriously tho, we are so glad it was only a pimple...our Mama always says better safe than sorry!!
Smileys!
Dory, Jakey, Arty & Bilbo
Well, at least it was nothing and it's over pretty Madi!
ReplyDeleteWe're so happy to hear your little bump was nothing serious. We hope it goes away on its own or you'll be back at the vet's :(
ReplyDeleteI'm glad it's nothing serious! Madi, as a cat mama, I am the same as your mom. I worry about anything different on my kitties. I would have done the same thing--hauled you off to the vet. :-) But I do think this calls for some salmon flavored ice cream as a treat!
ReplyDeleteOh Madi, no worries, it is just an Angel freckle from that Angel who kissed you while you were napping:) But we do have to allow the humans their fretting:)
ReplyDeleteWoos - Ciara and Lightning
Whew! We are very relieved it was just a beauty pimple. Those peeps will never listen.
ReplyDeleteMmmm, liking the sound of that salmon flavoured cream....

We are glad it was only a pimple. So your people really smell bad huh? Can you somehow smear fish on them to make them smell better?
ReplyDeleteKeep Calm & Bark On!
Murphy & Stanley
Oh boy they are worse than the touchy feely vets.
ReplyDeleteLily & Edward
Oh Madi, I am so glad it wasn't anything serious. I am late because my computer decided to take on some Malware and it was taken all day to get rid of it. I think it is all right now.
ReplyDeleteOur Moms and Dads, sheesh! It's nothing, we say, but do they listen? You know the answer to that. But we're happy to hear your pimple isn't anything worse.
ReplyDeleteMadi my Mom sounds like your Mom. WE are so glad it was "nothing" and your still the perfect Diva!!!
ReplyDeleteI am glad it was just a pimple, Madi. best not rub your face on your mom next time.
ReplyDeleteWould it make you feel better to know that you're just as beautiful WITH a pimple as you are without it?????
ReplyDeleteHugs, Sammy
Sorry you had to go to the vet. I am glad your Mom cares about you so much. Did you grant her a wish?

ReplyDeleteReally, these Moms can make such a fuss sometimes….
ReplyDeleteMom can be such drama queens! Honestly. (We're still glad you had it checked out and that it's just a zit.)
ReplyDeleteYours sincerely,
Margaret Thatcher
We're glad to hear it was nothing serious but sorry to hear you had to go to the vet to find out.
ReplyDeleteIt seems like moms kinda freak out whenever there's anything just a little bit abnormal about us. We're sorry you had to go to the vet...but glad it was nothing.
ReplyDeleteMoms are like that....um salmon cream...........ummmmmmmmmmmmmstella rose
ReplyDeleteMommas super overreact sometimes!
ReplyDeleteYour Mom cracks me up Madi... I would have done the same thing as your Mom and have!
