Instead of photos, today I ask for your good wishes. Mingo developed a limp a week ago Wednesday. He was fine in the morning, in the evening he was limping. I called the vet Thursday, and she said give it until Monday, it was probably just a pulled muscle.
By Saturday he’d lost a lot of weight, but the weight stabilized (he hasn’t kept losing). The fur and eyes are healthy. By Monday he was better but not perfect, and I figured, phew, out of the woods, that limp is almost gone. But it stayed almost gone and Wednesday night (a full week) I noticed he was hunching his back in a funny way, and I realized he was doing it to lift his weight off his legs. He walks steadier but with the hunch. And then he got needy, in that under the weather may I sit in your lap way that cats have.
So, Thursday I called the vet and we have an appointment for tomorrow afternoon. Please keep Mighty Mighty Mingo in your thoughts. I’ll let you know how it all turns out.
It’s always so darn scary when our little furkids get sick…please let us know how he’s doing…and without doubt, he’s in my thoughts….
That sucks. Mighty Mighty Mingo will strut again!
🙁
I think there’s a hot spot on the thigh; feels warm there. Probably nothing. Probably just rough-housing. But we’re going to make sure.
Absolutely, I’ll hold a good thought for the boy. Keep us posted.
Hope he’s okay. Keep us posted.
I’l light a candle and send some good energy.
This is another reason that I love Our community so much. I have yet to meet a Christian, or most other faithes that would pray for a beloved pet if the faithful was beyond say15, let alone ask for others to do so.
We all realize that life is life, and love is love, plain and simple.
MacKenzie and I will be holding good thoughts for Mingo. She’s offered up so hair to roll into the anointing oil for a candle. Great thing about Calicoes, they have a color for any workings you may need.
Bright Blessings, Love and Light.

OMG..I never thot about the whole calico thing……
I have one…and am seeing her with different eyes! She has different shades too…grey, black, dark yellow & light yellow & creamy white….
Here’s to the Mighty Mingo being okay.
