Last Night's Condo
Thank you to Serryn, Carla, Amy, Elise, Linda and Marilyn for visiting our last condo earlier today. At least I'm earlier tonight than last night! Another crazy day. Cinco again gave me no cause for worry by surfing blue. Now, however, I'm worrying that he's been surfing blue so much and maybe needs more juice! It never ends, does it?
A few minutes ago he came out of the lb after going poo and threw up. The poo looked normal, not dry or hard, so I don't think he had a hard time passing it. He's been pretty regular lately, too. No idea what that was all about. I didn't give him any meds for it - I'll just see how he does with dinner, and afterwards. He rarely throws up, so it gets my attention. Like I needed another thing to stress about!
Minka had her first acupuncture session today. She did not want to eat anything before we left, even though I gave her the tummy meds nice and early so they'd kick in soon enough for her to have breakfast. She was very good the whole time, except she kept shaking her head and sending the needle in her forehead flying.
. I liked Dr. Kress. She wholeheartedly endorses the no dry food mantra. She likes that most of what I try to feed my herd is grain free. She is going to bring me a few supplements for Minka next time, and maybe something for Cinco (I asked her some questions about diabetic kitties). She was very impressed at my juggling act with all four special needs kitties. She said she's had as many as five at a time, but never more than two with special needs. We go back on Tuesday. Minka seemed more chipper after the session, and less stressed on the ride home, but still no appy when we got back. I gave her some Cypro about an hour ago. She's nibbled a little here and there, but not really eaten anything. If she doesn't want to eat her dinner, I'll be breaking out the syringe. When I weighed her today, she was actually up from last week, but that weight was down from the week before, so that's why UCD says she's lost weight. Sasha is up an ounce, and Harvey is stable.
Because the appointment was mid-morning, I didn't have time to do fluids before we left, and I was worried that if we did them when we got home, it would be too close to her evening fluids, so I had one of the techs at the vet's office give her 100 mls. It went faster than I do it, but of course, she's much more experienced! Luckily, Minka did not pee in the carrier on the way home, although she went straight to the lb when I let her out of the carrier!
Today's crisis: bees! We've been finding dead or dying bees in the house periodically for months, and I could never figure out where they are coming from. I suspected they had somehow gotten into the attic. This afternoon I was in the front yard and heard a loud buzzing. I turned and looked back at the house and saw maybe 50-60 bees, flying around the eaves over the front door (on the second floor)!
I called Orkin, and the soonest they can come out is Monday. However, they warned me that if they are honey bees, they cannot touch them - they are protected by law. We would have to hire a beekeeper to come and remove them without harming them.
I looked it up online, and I'm pretty sure they are honey bees. 

Sending healing vines to all in need, especially DoLou and Doodle, and hugs to all their beans, especially Lisa and Jennifer.
Prayers continue for Amy's DF, Lyresa's DF, DH and DGD, Lisa's DF, Marje's DM and Elise's DM.
