This blog was posted before our name change to For All Animals A couple weeks after Hoppy’s surgery we moved (still in the Baltimore area). Hoppy would be going from living in our home office (a large bedroom) to our new office/studio space, which was an entire floor of our new home. We acclimated him in his kennel ‘apartment’ for…

Hoppy: The “Feral” Foster – Back in Surgery
This blog was posted before our name change to For All Animals We dropped Hoppy off for his biopsy in the morning. Shortly after we got a call from the surgeon. She wanted to know why we were doing a biopsy when this was clearly cancer. She suggested she just remove the tumor. Otherwise we would just be putting him…
Hoppy: The “Feral” Foster – Second Opinion
This blog was posted before our name change to For All Animals For weeks Hoppy slowly recovered from his dental surgery. We didn’t know exactly what to expect, but we did notice his chin didn’t seem to be improving as we had hoped. Some of his gums seemed a bit irritated as well, so we brought him into the dentist…
Hoppy: The “Feral” Foster – Toothless
This blog was posted before our name change to For All Animals. We picked Hoppy up from the dentist and the dental assistant went over his x-rays with us while they got him ready. In true Hoppy form, this was the worst case they’d ever seen. Needless to say he reached the cap of the dental estimate and beyond. A…
Hoppy: The “Feral” Foster – Remember to Brush Twice a Day
This blog was posted before our name change to For All Animals. We got the results from the dermatologist on Hoppy’s tests. Both ringworm tests came back negative. With the other medications, his overall skin improved, but his chin stayed mostly the same. We went in for our follow up appointment. In true Hoppy form, he peed and pooped in…
Hoppy: The “Feral” Foster – The Dermatologist
This blog was posted before our name change to For All Animals. As we waited for the test results from the internist, we took Hoppy back to Dr. Wolf for a skin scraping and ringworm test ($32.75). It would be two weeks before they would have any answers. Lots of waiting. After a few days we got a call from…
Hoppy: The “Feral” Foster – Photo Catch up
This blog was posted before our name change to For All Animals. There were some days and milestones that didn’t warrant a whole post, but are worth mentioning. I mentioned Hops tends to poop when he’s in his carrier–below is a photo of his bathing tolerance. He just kind of goes limp until you tell him you’re done. On May…
Hoppy: The “Feral” Foster – The Limp
This blog was posted before our name change to For All Animals. It was Saturday morning, just two days after we took Hoppy to the internist. We went in to feed him and noticed he wasn’t putting weight on his front left foot. The night before he had partaken in some acrobatics involving our six foot tall storage shelves—landing himself…
Hoppy: The “Feral” Foster – The Internist
This blog was posted before our name change to For All Animals. As it turns out there are very few cat internists in Maryland, but lucky for us one of them, Atlantic Veterinary Internal Medicine & Oncology, shares an office with our local Pet ER—which we frequent more than we would like to admit. All of Hoppy’s vet record had…
Hoppy: The “Feral” Foster – And His Chinny-Chin-Chin
This blog was posted before our name change to For All Animals. Hoppy’s chin had never looked good, but I think it was easy to be distracted by the other things going on with his health. Looking back, I think I assumed his chin would get better when his upper respiratory infection (URI) got better—but that didn’t seem to be…
