Mister Micky's Diary

Down the mountain, thru the valley and back to the vet

I've been on my kitty sulfa drug for over a week-my tummy problem seems better BUT but for a couple of days now, I've been very lethargic....after a phone call to my vet, it was decided I needed to be looked at. SO, I was VERY unhappy to find myself in my carrier and going down the curvy mountain road, AGAIN. I don't handle the altitude change well...I meow most of the way. Dr. Josh looked me over and decided to adjust my daily dose of medicine. He was pleased my litter box trips are fewer and not as....how shall I delicately say this......as urgent. So, I'm back home this afternoon sunning myself and waiting for my deer to come out of the forest so I can watch them graze. Gotta run, Mom says there are four deer in the yard! Purrs from Mister Micky

One week later

I've finished one week of three of a sulfa drug for kitties-Mom thinks I'm a bit better-fewer litter box visits and I'm a bit more lively-like my old self. My doctor suggested dissolving the pill in non-dairy vanilla coffee creamer (since I'm 'hard to pill') but I hated this, IT WAS HORRIBLE. So, now we're back to taking the pill.....thanks to all my furriends who are sending me healing purrs, they really do help and make me feel watched over.

Visit to the Vet

I went back to the vet yesterday....not my favorite thing. First of all, it involves a trip "Down the Mountain" and I DO NOT like riding down that curvy road. Mom thinks it makes my ears pop like hers. I've had a tummy upset for several weeks and I'm not feeling better. My doctor is kind and caring BUT some very unpleasant things were done to me and I cried and cried in my loudest voice. Well, I heard the vet say I don't have parasites or an obstruction in my bowel and my x-ray showed symptoms consistent with a kitty who is going to the cat box w-a-y too much. I have new medicine to try, hopefully, it's not something chronic and will clear up. you'all please send me purrs-I want to feel better.
