Kitty Complexion:
Guess what happened last night? I ate! I hadn't eaten since Monday. That special wet food from the vet dude enticed me into eating. The teenager force fed me in the afternoon, and the second time she did that I wanted more and ate from the bowl. I'm not interested in water just yet, but the food has enough water in it that Mom's not worried.
My energy level isn't the same, but I did a little walking around and checking to make sure no one moved any furniture, things like that. I checked the garage and sat on Mom's car, she had just washed it and I left my prints and she didn't even care.
After breakfast this morning I jumped up and walked completely around the island and even sat my bottom down. Mom didn't chase me! But she did whip out the 409.
My eyes are pretty much open like they should be, but they are still irritated. My face is kind of icky cuz of the goopy eye ointment, but I won't let anyone clean me either. I put up a major fuss when it's time for my meds, but they get me in this tight position almost like a choke hold and they get the deed done.
Nana and Grandpa, my auntie, and my Dad (he's on a business trip) have been calling everyday, sometimes twice a day to get an update on me, now Mom has good news to tell them. Mom and the teenager got me some new toys last night, but for now I let Lily play with them.
The teenager isn't feeling well, so we're going to hang out in the family room, she's going to be a couch potato and I'm just going to sleep. Maybe I'll play later, maybe I'll just get more rest.
The vet's office called Mom this morning and wanted to know if I was getting better. I'm still not eating and so far today I won't drink water either, so I have to go back at 4pm. Mom says it's time for them to do something else, but at this point I don't really care, I just want to sleep.
I had to go back to the vet dude yesterday because now my other eye was infected. They said I had a high fever of 105, I had lost a whole pound and I have a viral infection and that’s why my eyes are irritated. But irritated doesn’t really describe how they look, my face is swollen, my eyes are draining and they hurt, the third eye (lining) is pink and puffy and covering half of my eyeball! My face basically looks like my human brother’s leg when he fell off his skateboard, raw! They gave me a shot for pain, and one for antibiotics and liquid medicine drops that taste like burnt oranges.
I can’t see very well with one eye, but I can see Mom’s face look like she wants to cry whenever she checks me. She’s so sad, and she has to say a prayer to give me my eye drops and my liquid drops. See, she can’t handle gross stuff too well, and she says “I’m sorry Dylan” whenever it’s medicine time.
This morning I had another car ride back to the vet dude, my temp was normal, and one eye is a little better, but the other is still pretty yucky. I have tried to eat but I throw it up, but I’m keeping water in me here and there. Mom was worried that I was dehydrated and the vet dude said I was border line, so they gave me a shot. When they brought me out to Mom I was very mad and let them know it. I hissed and snarled and showed them my pearly whites.
Basically I’m sleeping and looking miserable. But I’m being well taken care of and I hope I feel good soon and look much better than I do now.
There’s tons of treats on my Catster page, and I found some rosettes too! My friends are very special to me and knowing they care makes my heart happy!
