My Life as Kandi Girl

New Medication and waiting for test results

Hi my friends, well it has been a long struggle to get me to eat, I have always been a picky eater, but Mom is very concerned because I wasn't eating even with the medication. Right after she gave me the 1/4 pill I would eat, then nothing for 2 days except maybe a treat or a few of them, few licks of my food.

Mom called Dr. Kathy last week, we had to wait for her to call Mom back, she called Friday afternoon, they talked about me, Mom telling her she is afraid that I am loosing weight and she can't stand by and watch. So Dr. Kathy suggested that Mom tries a new medication to help me eat. Mom agreed! They also decided to send off the growth they removed from my mouth when I had my toofies worked on. At the time because of the cost Mom couldn't afford to have the test done to see what the growth is. So now we are waiting for the results, Mom forgot to ask Dr. Kathy how long it will take but that is OK because no matter what the results are it won't change anything.

I am now getting Cyproheptadine 2 times a day, so far it is helping me eat a little better...I hide now when I see Mom come into my room I know what is going to happen...she is going to stuff that little pill down me...nasty!!!!!

Mom is praying it isn't cancer, she just can't through it again, but this time it will be different she will not put me through what she put Tallulah through...knowing that in the end it will be the same. I am 13 and soon will be 14...so I know no matter what I have had a good life, got a second chance to be here with my new family...I am a lucky girl no matter what...of course my Mom is worried about me and finding out the results...when they weighed me I was between 4 and 5 lbs...sure isn't much of me, I have always been a very small kitty....Well it is almost time for my medication so I gotta go hide, we just wanted to let you all know that I am on new meds and just waiting to hear from Dr. Kathy....please purr that the results are not the nasty C......

hugs to you all

My Vet visit recheck

Hi everyone, well I have a complaint my typist Mom forgot to let me tell you about my recheck on Friday.

Well I am happy to report my mouth is healing nicely, I can eat kibble with water on it to soften it..yeah I know yuck!!!it is because I still have a couple of stitches left in my mouth so I have to wait a little longer to get my dry kibble...I also am happy cause I do get to eat my soft Whiska's soft treats, Mom breaks them into smaller pieces for me.

Mom talked about me not wanting to eat much, so Dr. Kathy gave me Mirtazapine to get me to eat more food. I have lost a little weight so the need for me to eat is important.

That medicine is so yucky....because my mouth is so tiny Mom has a hard time getting it down far enough so I don't bite it or spit it out which I have to say I did both...not good I was drooling from the nasty taste...now Mom crushes it, puts it in a very small amount of water and I get the syringe in the mouth. Now it is working I am eating better...but one has to know I have never been a good eater...

Dr. Kathy still has the growth in a bottle waiting for Mom to give the OK to send it out to be tested...Mom has to wait until she has some money cause next week on the 4th Zeke goes in for his dental cleaning and probably will have teeth pulled as well...first things first, Mom says she isn't sure she wants to know, hoping that the growth was from me chewing and not the nasty C....

I am doing well, meowing like I used to, love getting out into the house so I can explore and look out the window...eating better and I am a happy kitty..

thanks for your purrs while I was going through my dental issues, we love you all and know we are purring & praying for our sweet friends that are sick and not doing well...

hugs
