One of those days with the creeping-up feeling that things do come in threes. Or is it the full moon cycle?
1. Sootie's appy iffy again today. Maybe she over did it at last night's gala, especially with Gracie's screaming lizards cocktail! But Sootie is eating bits at a time, better than not eating at all.
Local homeopathic vet doing his periodic house call tomorrow to visit all six, Sootie and her 5 civvies; good timing for all.
1a. Recent Supplement support suggestions re IBD and/or neoplasia. Any beans familiar with these?
I don't have list in front of me/I think I missed a couple suggestions that I wrote down (sorry 'bout that):
Colostrum, mushrooms (some being no no's), krill oil (instead of omega oils such as Nordic naturals),
2. Bo pretty much recovered from his weekend of loose stinky stools but is wobbly (at his age in people years who wouldn't be?). He is having a much harder the getting about, is determined just the same, appreciates assistance. Nestle and snuggle time together is sweet beyond words.
I dreamed the other night, as if in real-time with his dream reliving the times of his handsome full coated glorious Maine Coon dude youth, sauntering along a path of light and air, assessing all in full delight of his cat-being-ness.
3. Just home from vet with Azalea, our 18-yr old tiny tabby borderline renal girl. Her right eye suddenly closed squinty-like, looked a mess yesterday but she wouldn't let me near her. This morning eyelid was open and looked like a hyphema. Vetty examined eye, a deep corneal puncture....whose claw the culprit?...grrrr says me....the puncture might or might not have punctured the lens (vet doesn't have the specialized equipment to look closely into the lens). He said the eye is beginning to feel 'hard', not a good sign. If lens is leaking fluid, he says the risk is that the autoimmune system will attack, ultimately destroying the eye. Apparently in utero, the lens forms before the rest of the eye and isn't identified in-development of the eye by the developing immune system. If eye deteriorates, it will have to be removed.
Is this familiar to any beans? Maybe @Chris & China ? (remember reading yours about little summer rain?)
Vetty had no suggestions other than antibiotic eye drops and bring her back on Thursday. I've been in touch with local homeopathic vet, and starting a remedy that is for eye punctures along with doing the ophthalmic antibiotic. Any one have suggestions? I asked both vets about getting her to an eye specialist/facility pdq, the nearest one being a couple hours away. But both vets suggest that keeping her comfortable, minimize stress, do eye drops and remedies best course for now. Eeeeek!!!' Suggestions?
4. Sootie has been very understanding about all the hullabaloo today, not enough daytime minnow treats, though. SS up to date, doing next bg in a few minutes.
5. I'm not quite in meltdown...yet!!!! Sorry about the epistle.....
