Good news--hopefully you will see an improvement soon!
Well, SOMEbody had to do it!
My boy is doing so much better. His litter box is back to normal, he's taking his pills like a champ, and the people at the specialty pet store were completely amazing yesterday and helped me select his new food and new treats. We will be transitioning from Blue Buffalo over the next few weeks to a new brand. The vet called to check up on him yesterday, which I found very comforting. Words cannot describe how happy I am with his new vet and new pet store! I'm so relieved.
One thing that I'm amazed by how he hates the treats I got yesterday. Wesley is a complete fish freak…and he loves treats. He will do anything for a treat! If we have any type of fish cooking or have canned tuna out he is all over it. So I bought some freeze dried white fish treats and he hates them! When the sales person at the pet store suggested them I thought for sure he would go nuts over them. But he's completely annoyed anytime I suggest he eats one. Good thing I bought him some sort of chewy treat too. He loves those. The fish is still sitting on his placemat next to his bowls.
Anyways to everyone that's read this, thanks for letting me vent about Wesley's bathroom issues here. I've been talking about it non stop to my family, friends, coworkers, gym classmates, and online for 2 weeks I plan on finding a new topic of discussion tomorrow at work. I think my coworkers are completely over the Wesley poop talk...as am I! Just so happy my boy is ok. I'm super poor now but that little guy is worth every penny spent.
So....4 weeks ago tonight we lost Abby, one of our kittens. our calico girl. I took her to the vet just two weeks before that, because she had lost a bit of weight, but was otherwise okay, eating normally and everything. They thought at first that it was a really bad hairball or irritable bowel disorder. Very worst case scenario, but unlikely - a stomach lymphoma. We followed the suggested treatments. Less than a week later, I took her back to the vet because I was concerned. They told me at that point it probably was a lymphoma, but if she responded to the new medication, it could give her months, or maybe a year or up to two. Whatever it was, it was very aggressive, and we lost her 5 days later.
I know some of you have been following my guys since they were born, and know the whole story of how I took in their stray mom who ended up being pregnant, and then we fell in love with all of her six kittens when they were born, and kept them all, and we went from zero cats to seven in two months. It's been pretty devastating for us, but we're trying our best to concentrate on loving her mother and siblings. Still....sigh.
Love the cat Cobbs.
Didn't you have a dog, as well, or was he at your parents?
We went to the zoo today, Cheetah (who is usually asleep and we barely get to look at him) was pacing along the fence-line. I had to take this picture. He was totally staring us down.
Something was up because both Ocelots were pacing in their enclosures too. Even the male lion, who normally is asleep, was up and about. And the Tiger, who normally is pacing, was sitting still but keeping a watchful eye on us. Could have been the weather i suppose.
