Yes, more good news! Just got back home from another trip to the veterinary hospital. Mr. Bowie’s eye condition shows improvements in comparison with the results from last week. Yeah! The doctor told me that Mr. Bowie’s ready to resume his duties. Right now it’s keeping the stray dogs and cats away from the garbage cans. Way to go, Mr. Bowie! So glad you keep going in the right direction.
Enjoy this beautiful day, my friends, wherever you are. Peace, love and understanding.
Surgery for Mr. Bowie. After two months of intensive treatment of Mr. Bowie’s eye, he needs to undergo surgery tomorrow. We tried different medicines and treatments but surgery is unfortunately unavoidable. This is a real disappointment. Let’s just hope for the best, shall we?
Enjoy this beautiful day, my friends, wherever you are. Peace, love and understanding.
Not happy. I just got home from the Venhei Veterinary Hospital. Mr. Bowie’s check up shows that the medicines are not working properly so we have to look for other options. Next Friday we are going back to see a special eye doctor. In the meantime Mr. Bowie’s medicines are adapted. I’m sure everything will work out fine. Hang in there, my furry friend!
Enjoy this beautiful day, my friends, wherever you are. Peace, love and understanding.
A big bummer. Just got back from Venhei, the Veterinary Hospital. What a disappointment… The ointment didn’t cure Mr. Bowie’s eye infection. We need to treat the symptoms with antibiotics, an inflammatory agent and ointment for the following 2 weeks. Thank goodness Mr. Bowie is in the good hands of Veerle and Sarah, 2 experienced and brilliant vets.
Meanwhile Mr. Bowie is chilling and recovering from the stress after all the medical examinations…
Enjoy this beautiful day, my friends, wherever you are. Peace, love and understanding.
Wounded eye of the tiger. Lately, Mr. Bowie has had bad luck, health-wise. I took Mr. Bowie last week two times to Venhei, a Veterinary Hospital. An injury of his lower eyelid got infected and Mr. Bowie became very, very sick. The vet disinfected the wound and Mr. Bowie received acute treatment and proper medication. I need to put a thin line of ointment in his eye, 3 times a day. Thank goodness he is feeling much better right now. Get well soon, my furry friend! Don’t worry, I will look after your catnip plants…
Enjoy this beautiful day, my friends, wherever you are. Peace, love and understanding.
Little sick boy. This evening, I rushed to Venhei, a Veterinary Hospital. An occasional episode of vomiting is normal in most cats, but Mr. Bowie kept vomiting for several hours. Mr. Bowie got a medical check-up by Sarah, another experienced and brilliant vet working at Venhei. Our little sick boy needed medicines to fight the nausea and his fever. The problem was probably caused by eating something strange in the garden, a bug or another insect. I got to keep an eye on the patient for the next 24 hours. Get well soon, Mr. Bowie!
Enjoy this beautiful day, my friends, wherever you are. Peace, love and understanding.
Doctor doctor, gimme the news. Today, I took Mr. Bowie for an annual medical check-up to Renate, another experienced and brilliant vet working at Venhei, a Veterinary Hospital. Just like Frédéric last year, she performed some medical tests for Mr. Bowie’s comprehensive medical check-up concerning his ear problem. Renate ensured me that Mr. Bowie’s health is on track.
Right now, it’s important for Mr. Bowie to take time to relax when he’s recovering from the stress after this traumatic event. Vanilla ice cream, Mr. Bowie?
I’m okay! Today, I took Mr. Bowie for an annual medical check-up to Frédéric, an experienced and brilliant vet working at Venhei, a Veterinary Hospital. He also performed some medical tests for Mr. Bowie’s comprehensive medical check-up concerning his ear problem. Frédéric ensured me that Mr. Bowie’s health is on track. Replacing Mr. Bowie’s food 6 months ago with a hypoallergenic food seems to have solved the ear problem.
Vanilla ice cream for Mr. Bowie!
Mr. Bowie’s first ride out with my new car.

Another day at the hospital. Mr. Bowie’s ear surgery went well today. The surgeons were looking for an aural polyp but instead they found another chunk of dirt pushing against the eardrum. It took a while but the chunk was successfully removed and a sample is sent to the laboratory for analysis. They also examined Mr. Bowie’s throat and nose but no problems were found.
For the moment, Mr. Bowie is a bit confused and disoriented but I’ll take good care of him.
I want to thank all of you for your comments, support and tuning in on HoB. I also want to thank Renate and the medical staff at Venhei Veterinary Hospital for their care and support.
Mr. Bowie, a bit confused and disoriented.
Can you (h)ear me? Today I had an appointment with Renate, a really brilliant veterinarian at Venhei, a Veterinary Hospital. Mr. Bowie needed an ear examination to identify the cause of the recurring inflammations.

Renate removed a lot of foreign materials such as dirt and other tiny things. The planned exploratory surgery wasn’t necessary.
A mixture of dirt.
The examination went well and we got home around noon. Mr. Bowie’s ear problem should be solved.
Oh no! She’s coming back…
Can we go home now?
