What a day for Beau Teak Siamese. He has been coughing more and more. Last night he stayed near me, never leaving. This morning I called his Doc. They had an opening this morning so I drove him through rain and wind. She said she needed to do more X Rays and a centesis into his chest. I could have elected to not do this. My bank account would have been much richer. Beau would have been walking the Summer Lands in Valhalla.
I went with the centesis- gruesome but needed. Basically, the Vet takes a needle and aspirates the fluid from Beau. The X Rays showed lots of fluid.
Beau is here on my lap now. He has a shaved side but is lively and alert. It must feel good to be able to breathe without a huge effort. We will get the lab results on what the fluid was. He has medication to take. He will go back for a re-check in about two weeks. He could be with me for?? months or years. Just have to wait and see.
For how he is here resting. I am grateful our bank account was large enough to include Beau Teak's needs. And I am tired.

I'm glad you could afford to get him help when he needed it. Any time you have with him is a gift.

@sallypup Cats are just like people. Some of them like to be held and cuddled and some don't... You are lucky Beau loves you enough to want to show it.

@DaddyEvil All the cats that I've shared life with have shown some affection and need for companionship with me.

@DaddyEvil you are spot on. I think all Siamese cats are touchy feelie; they demand closeness and being talked to. Beau has reached his arms up to me when he wants to be held.

It is a lot of work, and emotional work, to get the fur babies medical help.
