Years ago there was even a rectangular plastic one that seemed better than the cone. It's good he's sleeping.

But we're hopeful this will help a lot in the long run. His chest x-ray was clear, which is a good. He's sleeping right now. <br /><br />I am glad you liked Number the Stars. Is The Winter Ghosts the one by Kate Mosse?

Kind of reminds me of dental insurance . . . But that's another matter. Right now I am looking into Embrace.<br /><br />I imagine Parker is quite unhappy right now. He went to the cat hospital feeling bad and now he's probably feeling worse as he recovers from his surgery. At least this part is temporary. I feel so bad for him.Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-28154688688753959102015-09-02T07:46:15.460-07:002015-09-02T07:46:15.460-07:00How is Parker feeling today, after his procedure y...How is Parker feeling today, after his procedure yesterday? Vet bills can be bad but it feels better to have something you can fight instead of just questions of what is wrong. <br /><br />Glad that Mouse enjoyed her swimming. <br /><br />Just finished up Lois Lowry's Number the Stars. It was a great book. Started The Winter Ghosts yesterday.

Your cut (vs the insurance company's) is still high plus they try to push most of the charges as not covered or pre-existing condition. I hope you are able to find one that is good - if you do, I'd love to know which you got. <br /><br />I hope Parker feels better soon. It sucks to be sick and it's worse when it's a baby or a pet that's sick. They don't understand what's happening except that they are feeling very miserable.Athirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03366654538383603004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-35699838669822324452015-08-31T21:56:22.065-07:002015-08-31T21:56:22.065-07:00Thank you, Nan.Thank you, Nan.Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-53207073369626871392015-08-31T19:13:51.513-07:002015-08-31T19:13:51.513-07:00so very sorry about your sick cat.so very sorry about your sick cat.Nanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15547916206007733970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-14474749493171016692015-08-31T15:26:35.437-07:002015-08-31T15:26:35.437-07:00Katherine - I feel like we went round and round be...Katherine - I feel like we went round and round before the different veterinarians Parker saw could agree it is the tumor and that it should be removed sooner than later.
