Hi everyone! It’s Walter here. My tale of woe started on Thursday morning when mom took me straight outside to do my business when we woke up and then stuffed me in the car without getting any breakfast! She whisked me off to the vets and left me there! Later they made me very sleepy, and I woke up with the cone of shame on my head!
The cone of shame!
Don’t worry, I had a small lump taken off my left eye using cryosurgery so there are no sutures. I had a small growth and then a bigger bump that the vet thought was just clogged up from a blocked tear duct. She was sure that after taking off the little lump the bigger bulge would drain away and be gone, but that isn’t what happened. The bigger bump is still there although it is a bit smaller. We aren’t sure if the bigger lump will go away or not…only time will tell.
I’m blowing a raspberry for having to wear this silly cone.
I’ve done much better than mom and dad expected with wearing the dreaded cone. Originally, they had purchased a “Comfy Cone” and had been training me to accept wearing it. Since the vet put the plastic one on me and I was doing well with it they decided to just use that one. I like it better because I can see through the plastic, so my vision isn’t blocked like with the “Comfy Cone”. It took me a while to figure out how to drink water by myself and so far, my parents have been holding my food bowl for the few seconds it takes me to eat my meals. I’ve even been doing well with not smacking my parents in the head with it at night when we are all sleeping. Millie on the other had doesn’t like it much when I ram her behind with it like I’m trying to herd her. BOL!
Today I’ve even gotten some time off without the cone, but I hear I will be wearing it at night when we are all sleeping for a couple more days.
I’m joining The Cat on My Head for their Selfie Sunday blog hop. You should check out the hop to see some of the other selfies. Thanks for stopping by.
