Poorly Cat. by naomi

Poorly Cat.

My cat decided that it was going to be ill today. A trip to the vets (my cat is flippin' heavy and this is a mile+ round trip!) and £40 later... I've discovered she's dehydrated and has lost weight. The vet gave me tablets for her and some liquid which has to be taken on an empty stomach so I can't mix it with food. And she wants my parents to take her back next week when they're home for a blood test to see if she has an overactive thyroid...

Well... I discovered I could get the tablets into the cat by shutting it in the bathroom with a bowl of food and crushed tablet (so the other cat wouldn't accidently eat it), however, the liquid got all over the kitchen, the cat and me, and I now have a load of scratches up my arm, great!

Also today, Rebecca and Jess came over and we made flapjack and danced round the kitchen :p Oh and I babysat the cutest kids ever tonight :D
Ahhhh, she is just sooooo cute! What's her name? I really hope you don't have to carry on with the pills, sounds like a bit of a trauma!

It's very stressful when kitty is sick. What do you use to give the liquid? I find syringe easier to use than droppers. Hold the scruff, insert through the side of the muzzle, squirt as quickly as possible.

The photo is wonderful. Nose and whiskers!

Oh gosh! Not what you wanted when your parents are away! I've heard that cats are much harder to give medicine to than dogs. =/ Hope your managing!
