I think there is something going through the herd :arghh::(

Socks is better...yay! :)

Otis is improving behavior wise, but still has explosive diarrhea so continuing metronidazole. :(

Lily was vomiting this morning, but she's my Queen of Hairballs, so hard to tell if she's sick or just working on a hairball. :blackeye:

Abby, my "I'm feral/I'm a lap-cat on my terms only" kitty has something with her ear. She had some crusty discharge, but she won't let me see what's going on with it. I have to stalk her all day now and try to get a good look while she's sleeping. :( Praying she just scratched her ear or something simple, I literally have to trap her to get her to the vet.. :(:(:(

Jack is waaayyy high this morning, was very picky about breakfast today, was hard to convince to eat dinner last night, even though it was prime filets and FF pate, and was hiding in one of the only spots I can't get to late yesterday afternoon, resulting in me hurting my shoulder moving furniture by myself to make sure he didn't crash for some reason. He was fine, high actually (302); I think he just doesn't feel well and he took himself off to a quiet spot away from everyone. He had another dose of cerenia this morning, and because he pretty much flat out refused 99% of the wet food options I offered him for breakfast this morning (except for a few licks of FF cod, sole, shrimp pate) and ate 1/8 cup of Elsey's only kibble, I increased his dose to 7 units of insulin instead of 6.75 because of the high carb intake.

It's days like today I hate myself for having so many cats and ever getting involved in rescue in the first place...even though I truly love them. :cat: But hey, at least I'm not driving to NY this weekend, right??:blackeye:

Hope everyone has a good weekend, and that your kitties behave for you!

I totally understand @Jack & Mopem'sMom

Some weeks or weekends (especially), its like what is going on??

A few weeks back I had a case of chin acne, an ingrown nail, and an eye infection. Of course the Vet was on vacation that week!!

And it's not even about money, because I wouldn't have debt if it weren't for all these cats, but just the stress of worry, going to the Vet, having to leave and can't watch Sly, its a juggling act with so many.

Paws crossed that all of this passes without incident!!:bighug::bighug::bighug:
 
Hi Christine sorry you have so much in you're plate. You're right at least you don't have to go to Brooklyn today. I hope what ever is bothering Jack goes away and his appetite picks up . I hope the metronidazole helps Otis and Lily starts to feel better.
I hope you can get a look at Abby's ear.
I hope the increase helps Jack
Sending you lots of hugs :bighug::bighug::bighug::bighug:
Keep us posted ok

Seriously, the debt! I hate that they all get sick at the same time...it's like, give the care credit card a chance to catch up for god's sake. :banghead:
Hope everyone in your herd is better now; I had a cat years ago, one of the first 'family' rescues (I say family because technically my parents took the kitten in, after a lot of begging and pleading from my sister and me) who had chronic chin acne. Ingrown nail on a cat...that's a new one for me. PM me the story on that one if you have a chance- I didn't realize cats could get ingrown nails...

Thanks Diane. I'm a bit overwhelmed right now. I really appreciate all the support and well wishes. They really do help. :bighug:
