Oh, life
I'm feeling calmer lately. In a better headspace. Starting to really get the urge to create, and have been painting wee masks as a warm-up.
Financially, I feel much, much better after some rearranging of things. The house? Still up in the air, but I am doing all I can to change that (which, admittedly, is very little).
Little B has been home for over a week now, and things are going well. She'll eat her Pepcid crushed up in wet food, but the Baytril I just have to pill her with as it makes all food offensive. There's only another week-ish of that left, so no big deal. Subq fluids are going very well - Eddie scratches her face and barely restrains her while I sit her on my lap and do the actual needle stuff. She protests a little now, but puts up with it much better than I thought she would, and it doesn't take very long because she's so tiny we're only giving her 50 mL/day.
She's eating okay, and on days when she doesn't and her belly gets all hollow I just give her 1/4 of a cyproheptadine tablet and within 30 min she's a ravenous little beast. She WAS on 1/2 tab BID, but we took her off of it because she was so agitated and vocal. Now we wait till she's done with her antibiotics and take her back to the vet for recheck bloodwork. There's a small chance she may have had acute RF instead of chronic, so we'll find out then.
Also a plus: her breath now smells like cat food instead of the bog of stench!
