hi Firehorse
good luck with your cat. My girl, who was at the vet to be put to sleep the other week, and for whom I had a week without sleep, cried a river, and at one time was hunting for a pulse, head back, thin as a rake and blind, and had to be hand fed and watered and carried to her litter tray – is putting on weight, has only the slightest wobble when she walks. Very active, even chasing spiders and being her normal pain in the bum.
One of her sons was born perfect and well. Stopped growing at six weeks, my fantastic vet was on holiday, locum said he would be dead in a week, had the worst case of heart defect. Son, who was quite young then, was distraught. Saw my vet a week later, he said wait and see.
Eventually went to Dick Vets – major vet hospital, major costs, was told defect was bad but not the worst. Hubby let us keep him. He lasted three and a half years, wonderful chap. We showed the girls, so entered him into pedigree pet section, won best in show pet, one of the judges told me off as he was good enough to show in the main section – but thought he was a kitten – burmese boys are huge cats – he was two and a half – he never did grow.
Just watch out for a swollen belly, it can be drained but keep an eye.
Fingers crossed.
Still looking for that Boots Salma – pretty much a fasting week, scales are stuck.
OHs brothers came over tonight, so a bottle of wine was opened . Had a wee sniff, ie a smell not a snifter. He has drunk the bottle, So pleased I didnt give in, but to be fair he thought I was able to drink. Son brought out a bottle of Chateau Neuf de Pape, made him out it back. Not going to sit here and see my good wine drunk!!!!!!!
