"Marina" wrote in message ... You may remember that Nikki saw TED last week. She's not at all happy about her medication routines, but she is doing much better already. I am giving her Antepsin three times a day orally. This is an oral suspension that forms a protective film in her digestive tract, so that if she has some sort of inflammation there, it has time to heal and not be irritated by food. snip She also got another course of prednisone for her asthma. Her wheezing is down considerably, and in the last week I have only heard her coughing once. Before we started the prednisone, she would have several attacks a day. snip Dear Nikki, We are sending you for comfort our loudest purrs. We think that if Jason and Megan were here, they would do so also. Meowmie thinks they may be saying goodnight to the mice we have in the field at the bottom of our garden. Dee Dee says she's can't purr now because she's too busy. She's agitating with her left front paw the water in our water bowl and the water's going everywhere :^) When Meowmie sees her paddling she suggests that Dee Dee's pretending to be at the seaside. We wonder if she would be so keen to paddle in real sea water :^) Meowmie sends her best regards to you, Frank and your Meowmie and hopes that all will go smoothly for your Meowmie at her dentist's and that her blood test results will not give her cause for alarm. Lots of purrs Thalia, Sylvia, Marnie and Abbie |

Aw, Marina -- commiserations for Nikki on having to put up with pills
without instant treats afterwards (Wonder if giving her just one treat afterwards is possible; maybe you could ask the vet. It might make some difference on her perception of the whole process.) And sympathies for you for having to be the evil human meowmie...glad it is helping her a lot though! How long will she need to take this stuff? Major purrs going out to you for the root canal work -- when is that going to be so we can send purrs? Re the thick skin stuff: I read online after you mentioned this and it seems that it is not that uncommon for diabetics to get it. Hugs in advance. Christine "Marina" wrote in message ...

This is an oral suspension that forms a protective film in her digestive tract, so that if she has some sort of inflammation there, it has time to heal and not be irritated by food. I have to give it an hour before she eats and at night before we go to bed. Nikki has learned this schedule already, and she knows exactly when to slink under the bed and hide. She has me creeping around on all fours several times a day, trying to get her out. It's made all the harder because I'm not supposed to give her anything to eat in an hour after giving the Antepsin, so I can't even reward her with a treat after medication. She also got another course of prednisone for her asthma. Her wheezing is down considerably, and in the last week I have only heard her coughing once. Before we started the prednisone, she would have several attacks a day. She has been sick only once since we started with the Antepsin, so all in all, she is doing very well. The only thing worrying me now is that she is scared of me and slinks off under the bed even when I'm not going to medicate her. ( I've tried to hold her and pet her a lot to show her I'm not *all* evil. ;o) As for me, I'm having a root canal treatment at the dentist's, I got a referral to the lab from my diabetes doc for a long list of blood tests for the thick skin thing, but I won't see the doc until June so won't know more for a while yet. -- Marina, Frank and Nikki Email marina (dot) kurten (at) pp (dot) inet (dot) fi Pics at http://uk.f1.pg.photos.yahoo.com/frankiennikki |

Don't you just wish you could explain things to them!? Here's hoping
that she continues to improve and that your dental work goes as painlessly as possible. I had one of those several years ago and, while it wasn't plesant, it wan't tooooo bad....Keep us posted on the lab work.... --Kim On Thu, 13 May 2004 19:07:37 +0300, "Marina" wrote: You may remember that Nikki saw TED last week.

"Steve Touchstone" wrote Sorry to hear about the upcoming dental work. Can you hear the "I hate dentist" chorus? ;-) I hear it! Fortunately, I found a wonderful dentist (well, I didn't find her, my sister recommended her). I used to be afraid to go to the dentist (had bad teeth ever since I was a tiny girl), but I've even slept soundly the nights before going to this one. Such a relief! -- Marina, Frank and Nikki Email marina (dot) kurten (at) pp (dot) inet (dot) fi Pics at http://uk.f1.pg.photos.yahoo.com/frankiennikki |
