Frank's not feeling well
This happens every time we get back from the island. Frank doesn't feel
too good for a few days. But this time he's been under the weather for nearly a week. He has an upset tummy. It started before I brought home Caliban, so I don't think that's the reason. I made an appointment for him at the same time I'm taking Caliban in on Tuesday. One thing I know is that he's not getting enough of his hyperthyroidism meds. He's been refusing to eat his kidney diet food lately, and I've given him the same meat as I give Miranda, but I can't mix the meds in that, and so I've had to give them with the syringe. And Frank fights the syringe really hard, and when I manage to squirt some into his mouth, he just closes his mouth and lets the stuff trickle out between his lips. Hyperthyroidism can cause a runny tummy, so I'm hoping that's all it is. Poor boy, I can see he's not feeling very well. He hides furthest back in the sauna, where I can't reach him and cuddle him, so I mostly leave him alone. He's very unforgiving when I give him meds with the syringe, so he doesn't want me near him anyway. I miss my darling boy! I hope I haven't made a terrible mistake in moving and taking in Caliban. I hope Frank's problems aren't due to stress because of these changes, but to the lack of meds. That can be remedied. He doesn't seem stressed by Caliban. They touch noses and warble softly to each other when they meet, and otherwise mostly just ignore each other. He didn't seem stressed when we first ame to the new place, he just immediately adopted the sauna as his preferred sleeping place. I can't really enjoy Caliban's company when I worry so much about Frankie. -- Marina, Frank and Miranda.

I can't really enjoy Caliban's company when I worry so much about Frankie. Purrs are on the way for Frank to start feeling like himself again, and that all it is a lack of his hyperthyroid medicine. Poor little guy doesn't realize that his meowmy is just trying to make him feel better when she tries to give him the nasty medicine. Could you mix it in a little bit of baby meat to tempt his appetite? Purrs and Hugs, Nan |

I wonder if you compounded the meds if it would help. I think there are
places that will mix them into fish oil. Or maybe you have tried that? Purrs for Frank to be feeling better soon. "Marina" wrote in message ... This happens every time we get back from the island.

I can't really enjoy Caliban's company when I worry so much about Frankie. It sure sounds like it's due to not taking his meds. I suspect that he likes having the new boykitty around - it sure sounds like they're getting along well. We'll be sending our best purrs that Frank gets to feeling better soon. |
