Well, today was spent at the UC Davis Specialty Vet Clinic with a neurologist (wallet says OUCH!!) looking at Shay....he's about 6 months old and has been trembling a bit in his behind when falling asleep....and also jumps fairly oddly....his hind feet rarely ever leave the ground and he can't twist at the waist very well. As usual, there was nothing conclusive found.....we did blood work and xrays to see if there is anything obvious....nothing in his eyes or obvious to her through the tests she did, so now we'll wait to see if there's any flags in the bloodwork (including viral) or xrays. It was GOBS of money, but knowing I have checked his issues out in a way that a specialist recommended makes me feel a bit more at ease. Am I skeerd? Heck, yes. One of the things that drives me crazy about medicine is the "grey" decisions in between the black and the white ones....Shay is currently in the cloudy grey area.....but it sure beats the black. No complaints. Oh, the photos! The top pic is of Shay after he got his eye dialation drops (foamy santa beard completes the ensemble!) and the video clip is of Beastly, who we brought along for moral support (and all she did was cause trouble)......the vet tech said that she could hear Shay's heartbeat slow down whenever he saw Beastly from the exam table, so remember this, kitty folks!! Take a buddy to the vet and make it less stressful! (Well, if you have one like Beastly, who acted like the vet office was just a room in our house that she hadn't been let into before!) More news and fussy cuteness to follow.....

Hooray for pets! Yes, the wallet is frequently empty, but the heart is always full.
