We've also got more probiotics and anti-inflammatory meds, as well as vaseline to put on the site to reduce itching. I'm so relieved I could cry. And probably will. #ThePippercorn
A *local* veterinarian can do the surgery today - no driving to Concord or Burlington!
Also, all the vets and techs and receptionists have been so kind, and you all have been so kind - it's keeping me going. Thank you all so much!

When I left for work, Pip was staring out at the bird feeder. He's eating very well, though traumatized by the meds he's forced to swallow twice a day. 😿 #ThePippercorn
We found a local vet who can see Pip at 3:30, since the emergency vet is sending patients to hospitals 1.5 hours+ away. The tech/receptionist is so kind that I just burst into tears.
Please keep praying. #ThePippercorn

Highly recommend. #ThePippercorn
"Everything's okay, Mummy. We're all here together and safe and warm and fed, and this Mitch McConnell person is not in the room. It will be okay."
"I hope so, Pip."

Our orange shorthair, Pip, on a blue shelf stocked with SFF books, very close to the ceiling. He is literally supervising (seeing over) me. On the adjacent wall is a stained wood shelf with glassware on it.

Featuring #Pip. #ThePippercorn
Our orange shorthair tabby, Pip, curled on his back on a brown sofa cushion. he has his front paws up in front of his chest, and his mouth is open in a mew.
#Pip says hi.

Close-up color photo of the face and front paw of our orange shorthair, Pip, as he lies, curled up and sleeping, on a colorful quilt in the colors of orange, green, and light blue.
Every night when I leave for work, I remind #Pip that he's got to be the man of the house while I'm away.

What, you mean like this orange cat?
#ThePippercorn
Trying to teach #Dayenu to sit next to me rather than *trying* to sit on my chest, where I have to support him with one arm. He's less cognizant of my needs than #ThePippercorn is, but we're starting to see progress! Which makes my workday even cozier, with a cat on each side.
Color photo of our orange shorthair cat, Pip, lying upside-down on a beige sofa next to a floral pillow. His eyes are shut and his front paws are together like a little putto missing his harp. His hind paws are slightly splayed.
In half an hour I get to go home to this boy. #ThePippercorn
