Gretzky update

[mousme]

The good news is that it's nothing that appears to be life-threatening. No diabetes, no kidney failure, nothing like that.

So yay!

The bad news is that we don't know what kind of infection she has.

The somewhat-bad news is that Gretzky should be feeling better by now, and as far as I can tell she isn't, really. I'm not sure if it's just wishful thinking on my part that makes me think she seems to be breathing a little more easily and has a bit more spring in her step. At least she hasn't given me any more "Oh my God is my cat in a coma?" scares. Small mercies.

I have to call the vet today to give her an update on how Gretzky is doing. I think we'll probably have to go for another round of antibiotics next week. At least with the new injection it means I don't have to fight with her, and it means I can also carry on with my other plans without having to leave her overnight at the vet's (because I would never, ever subject one of my friends to the horror of having to pill my cat: it's like a scene out of Exorcist, I swear).

So, yeah. The news is lukewarm, but at the very least I know that she's not dying. She's just got a really really bad cold.

I am so happy my cats don't complain about pills. With the odd exception, which I think is when they get fed up of a long course and simply want to protest, they spit claw and spit them out; but usually i just open their mouths, pop the pill in, and that's it! Freaky.

Yes. I was most impressed with Ginger Cat when I gave him his pills.

Luckily for me, George also takes his pills like a gentleman. Opens his mouth, swallows, looks offended and walks off. :)
