I didn’t quite bring the bedroom foyer to the “finished” point that I wanted to reach before I told another update with Y’all. Today I thought I would share an update about Tiger (our stray cat cat, Cooper (our dog). Some of them asked for updates. Let me catch up with it.
I will start with Cooper. Cooper is about 11 years old, although we are not 100% sure how old he is because we adopted him from the human society. At that time we were told that he was five years old, but he always had the energy of a puppy all the time when we had it, so I really don’t know. But if her estimate of his age were correct, he would make him 11 years.
And getting this dog to sit quietly for a picture is practically impossible. He just wants to run, play, sniff all things, mark his territory, etc. Ownary training was a complete bust with this.
However, Cooper began to capture his food about 2.5 months ago. On the evening of July 4th I brought him to the emergency advantage clinic, in which they carried out scans and tests carried out. The scans showed that he had a tumor in his chest that caused a condition called megaesophagus and that the secondary state prompted him to grasp his food.
And then in the same week he appeared a big cyst on his rear end in one day. It broke and the whole thing was very disgusting, so I had to take it with me for visiting the vet in the next four weeks so that they could keep an eye on it and see whether it would heal or whether he had to be operated on.
Because of the megaesophagus, I started feeding his normal meal (farm dog) with lots of water to swallow it more easily, and I let him sit upright while he ate and then stayed for 20 minutes after every meal. I also fed smaller meals several times all day.
Here is the crazy thing. I remember when I brought him to this emergency advantage sports clinic, they told me the various options I had and one of them was to put it down. That night. They offered to put it down on July 4 that night, and gave me this option because of the “ticking time bomb” in his chest.
Well, since we went through this whole episode – which is very two weeks with regurgitation and then the huge cyst on the back of his right leg/hip area – Cooper was perfectly fine. He had no seizures at all. Its energy level is just as it was. It is weight normal. Everything about him is exactly as it was before I brought him to the Emergency Vet Clinic on July 4th.
It just seems very strange to me. I do not want to pay for more scans to be carried out because (1) that costs a lot of money, and (2) You have to do it to do this, and at my age I do not want to risk just underneath it out of curiosity. It took 24 hours before it was normal again after the last time, and it just seems too risky to do it again if it is not really necessary. But I joined a few groups on Facebook for owners of dogs with megaesophagus, and I see the condition in which these dogs are located, and it breaks my heart. Cooper shows no signs of this. He seems to thrive and I have no way to explain that. He is just his normal hyper -and everything he wants to do must run, jump, turn and play. And eat.
Tiger is also doing very well. He hangs in our house all day every day. He sleeps on our van or under our van. He spends his days hanging in our property. And every morning I can find him here and wait for his meal.
He is the sweetest, cozy cat of all time. He loves it, he found. He loves to be scratched. And I want to bring it so much.
I am only worried about how he and Cooper would get along. As a Cooper Tiger sees through the door, he gets absolutely crazy. Belle, growl, jump.
I thought he had calmed down now because Tiger has been hanging in our house in our house for almost a year (I think). But he didn’t calm down at all. I don’t know how I can “introduce” Cooper Tiger in a way that I would feel safe so that I can bring tiger.
But I would like to find a way because I want the sweet tiger come in before winter comes here. I don’t want him to have to spend another winter outside. So if you have any tips on how to get these two to live together in peace and harmony (or rather to live my very exciting hyper dog in peace and harmony with tiger), I’m all ear. Even if Tiger mainly remains a cat outdoors, I want him to get the opportunity to get in if he is or wants to get into a room in a room in a room last winter. I mean, if that’s my only option, I’ll do it. But I would rather not put it under quarantine if he is inside. I want it to be like a normal inner cat when it comes in, but I don’t know how I can get Cooper to allow it. So I am all ears when you have suggestions.
