I am sure Lazarus will be delighted with the penthouse suite, and will be accepting gentlemen callers directly. I rather suspect his new apartments will be furnished to the highest standard and offer a full butler service. The question is can you keep the paparazzi at bay? :pic:
Lazarus ...... is hyper-t but takes his meds OK. ........Not sure how old he is. I think Sharon may have said 8 but an elderly 8.........He is semi long haired :shify: - I'm not a fan of long haired cats as a rule but a sucker for a hard luck story :shy:
Kylie might like him!
I never seemed to have the problem of runny stools with a cat that was being treated for Hyperthyroidism and that cat was with me for 9 months and was on Felimazole and that was changed to Neo-mercazole 5mg. At the time the cat was 18 years old and when they managed to get the HyperT under control it then started with kidney problems which is a common side effect of getting the HyperT under control.
Jokes aside, I am not planning to keep him as I am determined that Kylie's welfare comes first :shy:
He hasn't had the runs all the time he has been at Sharn's. His main problems atm seem to be lack of appetite and depression.
Anyway, no sign of a camera yet but we will see. :evillaugh:
Sharon said if he can be stabilised and if/when the vet thinks he is up to it, the branch will pay for a thyroid op - especially if it isn't that old.
We shall see. The latest is Angela (pudding) had to take him to the vet today as he is bunged up again (he was over xmas and had to be cleared out) the vet is going to open him up tomorrow afternoon and he will come here on Friday :)- assuming he has recovered enough and it is nothing nasty :(
I was quite surprised to hear that as they resisted opening Alice up as they thought it might be too much for her.
Is his sore bot from internal exam? :( Poor boy.
He looks lovely Mark :Luv2:
Maybe when he's more relaxed you could trim the long hair around his back legs to help solve the messy bum situation
You are so never giving Lazarus up
It won't harm to price up thyroid op and radiation method :innocent:
One thing I need to find out is when he was neutered. He rolled onto his back to show me his belly, then washed his bottom and the pink lipstick came out :scared: - we are certain that clapton didn't have one :-:
Also, before that, I was sure I smelt Tom when I picked him up from the vet :shify:

Although he is black everywhere else, the backs of his back legs are sort of tabby - I have never seen that before. You can see it in the bottom pic of the 2nd lot - it looks like the light in the photo but it is colouring. The vet classed him as a "Fluffy Moggy" :evillaugh:
Netuering removes the testes of the scrotum not the 'pink lipstick' ;)

I am very well aware of that but thanks ;)
However, there was never any sign of any :P with Clapton :evillaugh:
How was our boy's first night Mark?
Am sure that you and Dennis will padlock the door and search her after the visit to ensure his new boy is where he is supposed to be :rofl:
I hope not to put a dampter on things, but i just want peeps to be realistic that Lazareth came into our care and in our care in a poor way and he has shown remarkable recovery.. We just wanted to get him out a pen and see if that cheered him up abit, but he has been through alot... So fosterers of whatever rescue should remain realistic in expectations... But it would seem he is doing very well.. Its important we keep that thyroid under control and his weight and it may take a time to sort out.. But he is a prime example of a stray cat that has come on hard times and the reason he is called Lazareth is that he was due to be Pts not once but 3 times! The last time i was on the phone to the vet receoption seeing if we could give him a reprieve until we could get him in care just before Christmas... We know very little of his earlier background and no one is really sure on his age either... But it is very true that without the efforts of the team here, he would not be with us now... So fingers crossed all his health issues stablise and he has a happy, healthy future, wherever that may be..
I have a disabled kitten cat with bowel problems due to her mobility problems, she is on daily lactulose but i also give her tablets called Cistapride. They are very difficult to obtain and quite expensive but work by increasing muscle contractions in the bowel. Another option is a total colectomy but i think this is rather a drastic measure and probably not recommended. I have tried pumpkin, bark elm, asparagus and the granules added to food prescribed by the Vet and none of them worked for my cat. I would be very interested to hear of any other remedies and if you have any success with Miralax.
Good Luck with Lazarus.

When I got the Flectabed earlier, I said to OH that before I went out, Lazarus said he would like a Flectabed like Kylie & Alice have but he understood if he wasn't loved enough to have one" :evillaugh: - OH said he can have anything he wants :evillaugh:
Awww... Im so happy for you and him :hug:
I too m having to learn not to check on our two new purries every 5 minutes ... hard isnt it ? :shy: :evillaugh:
I really DO want to know the ins and out of the cats arse ! :evillaugh:
he does look grumpy bless him - any closer to being a family member??
I don't think he could find a better place!
Aw he's lovely Mark, love his tufty ears :Luv: :Luv:
Its early days with the toilet regularity, Poot took several weeks to settle into a routine, so I wouldn't worry too much yet :hug:
Push it as far back as it will go to the window and start screwing (the screws) :naughty:
Poo Alert

Don't they call this kind of talk scatalogical? :evillaugh:
Chris when I first got Bonnie from RSPCA and had to keep taking her back fro regular injections I commented to the vet one time that Bonnie's poo was really hard and she told me to put some Evening Primrose Oil on her food - I was told to just buythe cheap ones from the £1 shop and cut the capsule and drip it on her food. After 1 a day fro about 5 or 6 days it wasn't hard anymore. Maybe it could work for Celyn? Not sure about Lazarus Mark but you could ask your vet on Monday.

I am due to do a zooplus order so will check and get free delivery.
There is also this one http://www.robstestdomain.co.uk/orthopedic-kitty-sill-window-perch-p-203.html
But please note, when I asked for help putting eye drops in, I got "I'm not good with that kind of thing - it upsets me" :tired: :evillaugh:
Apologies for jumping the gun Mark coz of course it wasn't the obvious outcome at all :naughty:
Can i just ask where you got your peridale granules and RC intense hairball dry food?
:Luv2: :Luv2: So glad Lazarus is staying with you Mark, how could you resist though he's just adorable :Luv:

Ditto. Means we get lots of pictures. ;)
I love this thread. cheers me up :)
Lazarus is lovely and has totally landed on his paws!
It's funny how we can feel so lucky to have a cat that someone else is quite happy to dump.

Is it just the light or does his fur have a red tinge to it?
He seems to like the felix supermeat pouches with added water so I am off to stock up in a minute before the offer ends :evillaugh:
didnt know you could get Felix supermeat :-:
