Best wishes to all! Cinnamon has medical problems, and although she seems happy, is now on a special diet for kidney disease, plus having antibiotics to treat a UTI. She also has thyroid problems which can't be treated medically without making the kidney problems worse. I'm looking into radiation for the thyroid, but I don't know if it will be financially feasible (maybe, I don't have all the data and it will be a stretch), worth it medically given her kidneys aren't good and won't improve, and I got her as an adult 11 years ago so she's not a young cat, or a sensible choice practically, given that the treatment isn't available in province, and if I do decide to send her to the specialist clinic in the next province over, it may make the most financial sense to have her shipped over and then back rather than going myself. Such a trip would surely be frightening for a cat, with or without a human. One of the airlines doesn't seem to allow pets in the cabin at all, and I suspect the other only does so on some of its larger planes, not the little puddle-jumpers on that route. It looks like it would mean shipping her by cargo - I've made some enquiries, but not yet gotten responses. The very experienced local vet I took Cinnamon to when I became concerned over her excessive peeing has never had a cat sent off for this treatment. Generally, they just don't treat the thyroid condition and provide supportive care (eg special diet) for the kidney problems. Fortunately, Cinnamon actually eats the special diet (although she prefers the kibble form while the vet thinks the canned form is better), and the UTI is at least easy to treat - she's been on antibiotics, as I said, and in January will go back for another urine test to make sure that problem is cleared up. -- Cheryl |

I'm sorry to hear about Cinnamon's problems and do hope the UTI clears up quickly with the antibiotics. Persia was always susceptible to UTI's and had several bladder infections so she ate a prescription diet to prevent crystalline oxolate formations in the bladder. At approx. age 13 she was hyperthyroid. Turned out she was allergic to the medication. So she had radioactive isotope therapy. My then-neighbor drove us 130 miles north to a clinic that had the facilities. But Persia didn't already have kidney problems. She developed kidney problems a few years later. It was, at the time, one of the known side effects. I'm not sure she would have qualified for the treatment if she already had kidney problems. Of course there have been medical advances in the ensuing years and I'm sure you've investigated all of this. I could say "try not to worry" but that's a senseless platitude. Of course you'll worry. Purrs, Cheryl. Jill |

If anyone had asked me 40 or even 50 years ago (I was 10 yrs old in 1970) if I thought wearing face masks would become the norm I'd have laughed. Now I cringe when I'm shopping for food and see someone without one. Here's hoping for that 2021 will be better for everyone! Jill |

Now I cringe when I'm shopping for food and see someone without one. Here's hoping for that 2021 will be better for everyone! Jill You're a mere youngster. It is strange to see people wearing masks. I have only been in one shop since March. I have shopping delivered from three different supermarkets (so plenty of variety) but I did before the pandemic. Wow, I don't have fresh food delivery available. I go to the store myself, wearing a mask, have a list and get in and out as quickly as possible. We like going out for meals but my local restaurants do takeaway meals (the same as they serve in the restaurants when they are open) and one delivers. I could even have had a restaurant Christmas dinner delivered today. I had my Christmas beer delivered from the local brewery up the road and my wine delivered from the wine shop on the corner of my street. As I hate going shopping, I think I've got this sussed. Judith Sounds like you've figured it out. I don't much like shopping and I haven't eaten out in restaurants in several years. The pandemic hasn't changed that. A friend did drop off a Christmas gift of wine yesterday. He introduced me to his new g/f. Funny, this time last year he introduced me to another g/f. Happy Holidays! Jill |
