Purrs for Frank's tummy to settle down asap...

It doesn't sound like he is stressed by the changes, so we are hoping and
purring it is the hyperthyroidism meds. Lots of purrs and best wishes that this is the problem and that someone can find a way for Frank to take his meds, -- Polonca & Soncek "Marina" wrote in message ... 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.

Purrs on the way.

There have certainly been enough changes in the ol' soldier's life recently to give him dyspepsia. I've been having to put drops in Bandit's eyes for months (he has conjunctivitis caused by the Pasteurella bacterium and it's proving _very_ hard to clear up: Fucithalmic, Tiacil and Marbocyl have all failed and Chloramphenicol doesn't seem to be working either), so to keep from being shredded I've made sure that every session of applications, some 4 per day, is immediately followed by a nice meal. It's working, because he's now purring both before & after I scruff him and apply the meds, 'cos he knows that threats are a-coming. Bless him! Anyway, I wondered if you might apply the same principle to Frank, syringing him immediately before a treat? I'm sure he'd catch on PDQ. Purrs for Tuesday. BTW I like the continuation of the Shakesperian theme (tho' Haldir's still my favourite unused name) for Caliban. It'll be interesting to see if he grows into his 3-syllable name or if he influences you in another direction. Best wishes G & the FF |

It might be a lower risk than continuing the medication. |

Gave him a treat after the pill every time. Didn't work. Still fight with me. So far I manage to get the pills down his throat, I think. He is being weened off his medication so our stress should level off. Winnie Purrs for Tuesday.

I'm sorry to hear about Frank being under the weather. Hopefully it
all clears up when he gets more of his meds into him.
