Devil Rex Is What I am!

Biopsy Update

A huge thank you to them cool kitties who have been thinking so much about me while I have been undergoing some tests. Thanks for the Rosettes and Stars, they have made me feel so special and happy.

My Biopsy results did not show up much at all, not so impressed with them, they started possible Urticaria Pigmentosa and Eosinophilis on the skin, yes we already know all this from looking at me Duh!
The report said it comes down to hypersensitivities.
I am on cortisone as well as Cyclosporine, throw in something to stop the runny bum problem that both of these drugs cause. I have just finished antibiotics and anti fungals. I feel as if I run to fast I might rattle.

Mum is considering having a company called Spectrum to test my blood for allergies, we dont have much in Australia that is very good so my blood has to be sent to the USA. wow it will travel a long way. Thing is we dont know how good this company is, the skin doctor says she doesnt have much faith in them but she has faith in one called Heska.

Anyway this should all happen in a few weeks time when the doctor does his job in taking my blood, I wont be scared because I will be thinking of all my feline friends here!

Love always Jordan

Itchy & Sore

On Tuesday the 30th October 2007 I went to the specialist about my skin, she said we should do some skin allergy tests but also said she should take a biopsy of my skin. Some Devon rex & Sphynx breed cats have a genetis skin problem called Urticaria Pigmentosa so this is what they need to check.

My skin is covered in big rashes, it looks terrible and its also very itchy and sore.

The doctor has found out that I have Malassezia on my feet and skin as well as bacterial infection on my skin, this is of course mostly in my rash areas. She has given me antibiotics and antifungal pills, I cant have my other skin medication until I have finished these pills because they will interact and cause me to be more sick.
I hope to find out my Biopsy results in a few days.

For all you itchy and rash cats out there, you are not alone. I have been going through this since I was a baby and still battle it each day. Please consider further investigation if your skin is still a problem as most often it is not a typical food problem or flea problem.

Easter

It's almost Easter again and I can't wait, last year I had no chance of catching the easter bunny as I woke too late but this year I have another plan.
My plan in simple, I won't eat any dinner the night before as I will remain hungry and on alert, because I will be hungry I won't be able to sleep. I will remain under the bed ready to stalk the Easter Bunny as he enters my house. Mum says she is going to get lots of chocolate this Easter and even has hope he will leave her a gold egg, as for me all I want is a chomp on his furry tail.
I have never had fresh rabbit before, I hear its very tasty maybe even better than roo meat.
So this year, Look out Easter Bunny cause Jordan is gunna get ya!
Happy Easter Furry friends.
