JuneBug sounds all congested which might be seasonal since I've actually been able to use Actual Real Air to cool the place at night by opening the windows. Looking forward to when I don't need to turn the AC on in the afternoon. This morning I was mildly concerned since Junie horked up a hairball and I was weighing whether it was just a hairball ( Read more... )

To get up to date, JuneBug is slowly improving but of course now that we had a couple of cool evenings where I could turn off the AC and open the windows, she starts sneezing. Gurllll. Go sit next to the air purifiers or something ( Read more... )

Today wasn't what I was expecting but in a kind of good way. We're being careful since JuneBug did lose some weight and is at 8.5 pounds now even though currently the girl wants to EAT. Driving me a little nuts with it, actually since her hunger signals are clearly scrambled. She did have a small vomiting at lunch yesterday but I let them know that ( Read more... )

Junie was doing SO well and then last night about 9:30 things tanked again. She vomited but it looked like mostly hairball so while I was disappointed, I wasn't too worried...yet. But then she went to the litterbox and unleashed a river from the other end. Aw hon. Though she does still want to eat and since I knew I needed to give her at least one ( Read more... )

I feel like I just threw thousands of dollars down the drain. The biopsy came back showing lymph node inflammation which isn't all that conclusive. It's either IBD OR I can spend yet another $900 to have them analyze even more to find out maybe, possibly if it's cancer. I told them no. Oh but steroids will buy a year but kitty chemo on top of it ( Read more... )

I thought about doing the Friday Five but alas, the questions made me depressed so I'll be skipping that this week ( Read more... )

Going to be a few days to a week to get the results but they did do a needle biopsy of Junie's lymph nodes since they were a little enlarged to try to see if they can confirm or rule out cancer. Either way the long term treatment for either IBD or palliative care for cancer would be the same - steroids. Even if it's inconclusive, I will not be ( Read more... )

For the seasoned cat folks on here, I need to know whether to give JuneBug more time before toting her back in. She ate well after getting home and only started to slow down about 3am-ish (yeah, I know, weird feeding times but who knows when I can get these two adjusted if I ever can). They were all smaller meals and with some, I added in pumpkin ( Read more... )

Welp, this morning the decision whether to head to the vet was made by the girl when she made quite the yowl and then went all Exorcist all over the layers of towels I keep on the bed and then quickly went to the litterbox and emptied the rest of her system. ['pppppppp['p ( Read more... )

Firstly, a very happy birthday to spikesgirl58! I hope today is a fun and fabulous one.

Secondly, good luck vibes to halfmoon_mollie at getting the tummy checked today. Hope all is well ( Read more... )
