Christine this sounds serious. Like maybe he is also depressed. I hope the bite heals soon without any complications. And I pray that he soon regains his joy in life. What caused the spat? Does Tucker need help to mellow out? -- CATherine CATherine, you're very insightful with your comments. Although tonight Omar is doing better physically, I know he's always been unhappy about Tucker being in our household, period; Midnight and Oreo aren't happy with it either. Tucker is a sweet kitty but I'll never forget how scared and defensive he was and I don't think he'll ever quite lose some of the feral reactive behaviors from that. Although, he has changed dramatically for the better from when he first started out here, Tucker reminds me somewhat of what we've got with our son who has Asperger's (high functioning form of autism with social deficits) -- Tucker just doesn't know how to read and react to other cats; he would like to be friends with the other cats I think but they do not like him. So we don't have a harmonius kitty household very often I'm afraid and it takes the Feliway; lots of attention to all the cats and their special needs; and, at times I'm working as hard to get my kitties to be successful socially as I am working for my son. I wish things were different but you do what you have to I guess; I promised them all I'd be there for them, so I will. Thanks for your good wishes, Christine |

Aww, poor Omar. Antibiotics can make you feel terrible. I had to quit a course of penicillin half way, because it made me so sick. Many purrs coming over for Omar to feel better soon, and the bite to heal. A bit of warning here both for the four- and two-legged: it certainly can be necessary to stop a course of antibiotics due to side effects. If the reason for stopping is diarrhea, it really is important to get veterinary or medical advice. I started eating lactobacillus capsules at the same time as I started the penicillin, and didn't get tummy troubles. However, my blood glucose flew through the roof, something I've never experienced in connection with penicillin before (have had type I diabetes since 1970). -- Marina, Frank and Nikki marina (dot) kurten (at) pp (dot) inet (dot) fi Pics at http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/frankiennikki/ and http://community.webshots.com/user/frankiennikki |

The good news is that your purrs started working even late last night; this morning and this afternoon Omar ate again and stayed out from under the bed! Thank you! His paw is healing very well; the puncture wound was not a deep one, thank goodness! I did talk to my vet and we both agreed I'd keep a close eye on him but since he's healing so well, she did not suggest starting another antibiotic at this point, particularly as Omar has irritable bowel disease and we don't want to mess with his internal flora anymore than we have to! I am so grateful that the Feliway diffuser refills came today; I suspect the level of kitty argumentativeness has risen more than usual because my diffusers had started running out. I can definitely tell a difference with Tucker with this stuff. I did use petguys.com, too, and their prices were really good! Glad to hear Omar is improving so well. I just told Nikki to send her special miracle purrs (they must be magic, they are so loud and trilling) to Omar and everyone else who needs them. Hope the new Feliway calms things down again. -- Marina, Frank and Nikki marina (dot) kurten (at) pp (dot) inet (dot) fi Pics at http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/frankiennikki/ and http://community.webshots.com/user/frankiennikki |
