WCR: Some Ps in place. Her appy is pretty crappy this morning. I had to shove her pill pocket w/ Cerenia into her mouth this morning.
I don't understand why, all of a sudden, she refuses the pill pockets. A month ago, these were the only things I could get her to eat and she was crawling up my leg for them. 
I gave her Cerenia this morning because she's just not eating well and there was some lip licking this morning, so I'm hoping this helps. I'll run by my vet today and pick up some more; although, I wonder if I should ask them about the injectable Cerenia since she's being such a pain w/ the pill form. She got 100mL squids last night and depending on how much she's absorbed by tonight, I might give her 100mL tonight.
@Amy&TrixieCat - she does not get Pepcid. I've thought about it, but then held off because I started her on the Cerenia & Bupe. I wasn't sure what the difference was between Pepcid and Cerenia. Cerenia is for nausea & vomiting; Pepcid for excess stomach acid...???
@tiffmaxee - I did not know that about Ondansetron. I have only been giving her Ondansetron once, every other day, at best. So, those were wasted pills.
Shasta weighs just under 8 lbs. Actually, I haven't weighed her since our scare in mid-July and I think she might have put on a few ounces.
@carfurby & @pollydoodle - thank you for the vines. Sending happy, healthy kitty vines right back to you!
@Tricia & Cinco - I think I'm going to try her on the Cerenia, every day and see if I can get out in front of it. I wish my vet would take a chance on the Ondansetron, too. Thanks for the appy vines!
OT: Yesterday was the first day of the new school year that we didn't have working A/C. I am going to keep a running tally this year. Last year, we were somewhere in the neighborhood of 5-7 days and while that doesn't seem like a big deal to some people (my brother would most certainly be a jerk and call us wimps)...when you're stuck in a classroom that is hot and muggy (we were sticking to our papers) and it's just as hot and muggy outside...NOTHING gets accomplished. I still have a headache from it.
Happy Tuesday, everyone!! Sending healthy vines to all our sugar kitties and their hoomins! Blessings!
