The good news is that the right cats ate the right kind of food again today. A combination of tough love, supervision, and pathetic pandering is doing the trick. Unfortunately this return to proper diet is not working quite quickly enough for Cally.

Look at my icon. Now look at the text. Look at the icon. Back to the text. My achievement for today: getting the right kind of cat food down the throats of three cats. Three cats, three different types of cat food. And they think they did it of their own free will.

Brief recap: Princess was making herself bleed around the neck by scratching. She was given a cortisone (dexy) shot that seemed to relieve her symptoms. A couple of days later she had a fit, which resulted in me having kittens. Fortunately, no repeat.

It is, however, a matter of time.

Princess seemed well within reasonable bounds this morning (as I myself was not) so I didn't call the vet until about 2pm.

Observe animal behaviour? You betcha.

Approximately 52 hours after receiving her F3 and cortisone shots, Princess had a fit this evening. She seems OK now, in that she's conscious, breathing and can walk, but she's a bit short of breath and keeping still. She's still holding her head up, if a bit droopy.

Have just returned from the annual trip to Disneyland the vet for the cats' annual shots and once-over. The news is definitely mixed.

Princess has just gifted us, our bed, and our carpet with a prodigiously powerful supersoaker projectile vomit.Read more... )

The vet recently sent me a Senior Pet Questionnaire to help me assess the health of the cats (and to drum up business). I say cats, but there is a certain canine bias in the questions. It's much more fun to apply the questions to Husband or the human of your choice.
