Rosa slowly got better over the weekend, but today she's worse again. D:

The vet examined poor Rosa and said I should try and give her lots of liquids and only wet food for a few days, and that she problably has some kind of allergy (which could also explain her ear infections and the dandruff and the dodgy digestion). She gave her a painkiller shot and me a recipe for more painkiller, and told me to buy hypoallergenic ( Read more... )

Tomorrow is the last day that I have to squirt horrible goo into Rosa's ears, and she is now fit for a starring role in Grease. She really doesn't like it, but she's very forgiving and she seems to feel a lot better now. Her appetite has improved too, which is a good sign, but a bit of a problem, since the kibble that works for her digestion also ( Read more... )

Yep, it's a good and proper head cold. I've stayed home all day today, but it hasn't really improved, rather the reverse. I think I'll stay home tomorrow as well, but I have to go to a big shop tomorrow to get more cat food ingredients, because I'm running out of cat food. I've been trying to wean her back on her old kibble, but it's not working ( Read more... )

Rosa's not well, she's had a runny tummy for weeks now, and nothing seems to work. She's not really sick or anything, she seems her normal happy self, but constant diarrhoea isn't fun for either of us. I've been giving her cooked white fish for the past few days, which seems to not give her the runs, but on the other hand she's hardly eaten any of ( Read more... )

I should know better than to try and take exercise. Nice, long walk yesterday. Lumbar pain today. I just had to take a painkiller. O.o

Also, I'm drinking far too much strawberry Rosé spritzer. A quartered strawberry, some ice, one measure rosé wine, and as much strawberry flavoured fizzy water as you like. (I use Ramlösa with Strawberry/Lime -- ( Read more... )

Damn, I'm crap at updating.

Saturday evening I was picked up by bracke, nazgman and Seamstress, and taken to the Dalby quarry where we had a picnic and went swimming. It was very nice. :) And my mother called me to say that the fan I'd bought her had probably saved her life ( Read more... )

After finding that the local vet down the road is on holiday and the other fairly local vet won't answer her phone even during telephone hours, I finally called one of the vet clinics in town, and got an appointment for Rosa on Wednesday afternoon. It's on the other side of town, so I will have to go on two different buses, or take a taxi ( Read more... )

There is (for the first time since I've lived here, I think) a country family market in this town this weekend. I went there to have a look Friday evening. It was the usual mix of fun rides and stalls selling cheap tacky stuff. And not very many of them, at that. But there was a stand where they were giving out free security key fobs, the ones that ( Read more... )

The past few nights, I've been waking up at night because the thumb and index finger on my right hand have gone numb (sometimes the longfinger too). I just googled the symptoms and found -- carpal tunnel syndrome. Apparently it's very common to sleep with your wrists flexed (I know I do), which puts extra stress on the carpal tunnel and the nerve ( Read more... )
