10/28/2005 Nurse Garfield's Field Notes

My book is going swimmingly. I have completed 28 pages, focusing primarily on feline health issues ranging from diabetes and kidney disease to animal cruelty. In fact, today's focus in the book is on animal cruelty. I listed the signs and symptoms of animal cruelty, differentiated it from simple... Sign in to see full entry.

10/27/2005 Nurse Garfield's Field Notes

My human is doing quite well today, with no physical or emotional complaints. This is a good thing, in my professional opinion. I do worry so when she is sick. Today, she was supposed to go in to see a heart specialist and have some tests run, but she couldn't make it due to transportation problems.... Sign in to see full entry.

10/26/2005 Nurse Garfield's Field Notes

I heard from a long-lost colleague, Daphne, this fine morning. She is grieving the loss of adoptive brother Desmond, who went to feline heaven not too many months ago. Her human says that she is not eating and has lost some weight. She seems to be recovering her appetite slowly, however, which is a... Sign in to see full entry.

10/25/2005 Nurse Garfield's Field Notes

Today, in my book, I wrote about bereavement - the five stages of grief, specifically. One of the things I worry about is when humans who mourn our passing stay stuck in depression - and I mean very severe depression, not the relatively mild depression people feel when they remember us after our...

10/24/2005 Nurse Garfield's Field Notes

My book is progressing well. Today, I wrote about feline kidney failure, and the ways in which the treatment of cats and humans differ when they develop kidney failure. One thing my human doesn't understand is that cats are not allowed access to dialysis and kidney transplantation, while for humans,... Sign in to see full entry.

10/23/2005 Nurse Garfield's Field Notes

My human and I went out to a local bookstore to do research for my book. (I'm currently researching feline kidney failure, a health problem primarily occurring in older felines.) During the course of the research, my human discovered a book entitled Chicken Soup for the Cat Lover's Soul, which... Sign in to see full entry.

10/22/2005 Nurse Garfield's Field Notes

I mentioned that yesterday, my male human went in for a series of X-rays to determine the exact cause of his musculoskeletal pain. The doctor ordered X-rays of his lower back, hands, knees and hips, in the belief that since these joints were where the pain most often traveled to, pictures of these... Sign in to see full entry.

10/21/2005 Nurse Garfield's Field Notes

My male human goes in for an X-ray of the lower spine today, to see just what is causing the traveling joint pain he is afflicted with on a regular basis. My regular human is worried sick about him, as he will be out of her sight for the duration of the time spent in X-ray, which includes the time... Sign in to see full entry.

10/20/2005 Nurse Garfield's Field Notes

My male human is the one with the doctor appointment today; he sees a joint specialist to determine just what is going on and why he experiences such severe traveling joint pain. I mean, one day, it's in his butt, the next in his knees or ankles. He's sick and tired of being sick and tired, and I... Sign in to see full entry.

10/19/2005 Nurse Garfield's Field Notes

Much to my delight, my human chose not to have the CT scan done today. As I have said repeatedly in this blog, I worry about her constantly, and the added stress of the procedures she'd have to undergo to go through an infused CT scan worried me more than usual. She wants to reschedule this... Sign in to see full entry.
