Things are still looking up

Seems to be going quite well for Vino so far. This morning he ate some
of an Iams pouch. I've found that microwaving the food does not help
him at all, he likes it cold. I guess it's what he's used to, being an
only cat, most of his food comes straight from the fridge.
We went for a walk on the beach today and then to some wineries, so were
out for 4 hours. When we got home, Vino ate lots more from his Iams
pouch and also had his acid urine pill and antibiotic paste with no
problems.
All in all, he has eaten about 3/4 of an Iams pouch today. I think that
is really good. We can really tell that he has lost weight, can feel
his spine all along his back :-( I guess it's good that he had some
extra padding to begin with.
Every day he is eating more. So since he is eating more and not puking
anymore, and is still getting his antibiotic and acid urine meds, the
only variants are that he's no longer getting his anti-nausea injections
and he's at home. I really think he reacted badly to the anti-nausea
meds. I will remember this for future reference.
Of course being home is also helping a lot. This morning he was cussing
us out for ages for not letting him outside. He really summoned a lot
of energy for that...
Finally Dennis let him out and they settled in together and read the
newspaper. Vino is particularly interested in the local council's
proposal to raise the rates by 7%. He does not approve.
Go Vino!!!

Woo-hoo! I'm glad Vino is feeling better.

Peter also prefers his Iams cold.

I'm glad to hear Vino's well on the road to a complete recovery.

Slowly but surely is the best way. Good for Vino, God bless him. Please tell
him Lily from the USA sends him snorgles.

I am so pleased to hear about Vino's improvement. I've never met him but I
feel fond of him for some reason.
Stress is a very strange thing. I had it once, and it put me off my food
(that's hard to do!) and I lost 42lbs in weight. I was like a skeleton. My
manager called me in to her office to draw my attention to it, as if I
didn't know ;-) "Look at your poor thin legs.."
My counsellor (who helped me through it) told me that stress can interfere
with the body's ability to get proper nutrients from food - apart from the
fact that adrenalin is raging out of control too.
Being back at home should sort the lad out now his medical problems have
been dealt with.
Bless his little cotton socks, give him a scritch from me. Being in
hospital is the pits, more so if you don't understand why you are there.

Whew!! Sounds like he's out of the woods, and just needs to get back
to normal. I'm glad he's going to be OK! Poor guy, he's been through a
lot.

Purrs & scritches,

I feel fond of lots of kitties on this newsgroup whom I have never met.
I worry when they get sick, I cry when they die, I'm happy when they heal.
I usually have a photo of someone's cat on my computer's desktop (they
rotate), and I really feel as though I know many of these wonderful
critters.

Does this mean I'm lacking a life? Or just that I'm a slightly nutty
catslave extraordinaire?

There's nothing wrong with being slightly nutty. ;-)

LOL, as long as I'm a nut with a life.

Glad to see that you're feeling better today!

I think neither. I don't think it's possible to share our lives like we do
on this group without getting fond of the cats (and the humans too.)
