Gretchen Marie is Sick
Hi Everybody. Gretchen Marie has been sick for over a week. She
started throwing up a lot and having trouble making it to the litterbox. Apparently, she had reached a toxic level of the medication she takes for her over-active thyroid. The vet gave me some medicine to help settle her tummy and temporarily took her off the thyroid pills. She did not improve. I called and talked to another vet who agreed that it could be toxicity but also that keeping her off the medication (it had been nearly a week) could also cause the vomiting. Since Saturday. she is getting the same medicine as an ointment rubbed into her ear. She has thrown up a few times since then, but not as much as before. The problem is, she has absolutely no appetite. I can only coax about a tablespoon of food into her each day. She sleeps a lot, but also plays with her ball in the middle of the night. I am very worried for her and hope we can get past this. Please, please purr and pray for my little best friend. BTW, my eye surgery (vitrectomy) in January went well. They said it will take four months for it to heal completely so I continue to do lots of eye drops and follow-up visits with the eye doc. I am trying to catch up and hope to spend more time on thuh pooter. Thanks for your caring, Arlene |

All of the Highland Kitties love tuna water (though Harri Roadcat is very picky and only tuna water from solid white tuna, not the cheaper chunk light tuna). Or maybe some of that vitamin paste stuff you smear on the paw that they then lick off when they clean themselves? The Highland Kitties - Cleopatra Amelia Tabitha Samuel and Harri |
