Hi everyone! We are joining Brian’s Thankful Thursday Blog Hop.
Penny and I are thankful for all the purrs and prayers and tail wags. Words can’t express how happy I am to still have my Penny. My husband is thankful too as she is more his cat, they bonded from the start.
We were scared to bring Penny to her appointment yesterday thinking we might have to let her go. Her infection definitely improved, but she was very lethargic and not eating. I wondered if it was dehydration because she has had some loose stools (sorry if that is TMI). She was on 2 antibiotics and a probiotic, but the probiotic wasn’t enough apparently. After the fluids she perked up and was hungry again by the time we got home.
Then Tuesday night I started her on a new antibiotic for her tummy (the vet discontinued one of the other ones) and by morning she was weak again and not hungry. So once again we thought we might have to give up, but after reading up on the new antibiotic, it causes loss of appetite and lethargy. I have Miritaz ear gel on hand so I gave her that which has helped her appetite. I just took this photo of her, she has some Squeezie on her nose. 🙂 If she continues to heal, the vet will give us more antibiotics and she won’t have to keep being seen weekly. This roller coaster has been emotionally exhausting, but worth it for every extra moment we get with our sweet girl.
I skipped the poem yet again. My mind has been preoccupied with Penny to think of anything else.
Here are the Friendly Fill-Ins for tomorrow. I came up with the first two and my wonderful co-host, Lorianne of Four-Legged Furballs came up with second two.
