Month: September 2018

I’ve decided to apply Biosilver to all our cats on a weekly basis as maintenance for their gums. Gingivitis can lead to kidney disease later in life because the body recognises the gingivits and produces antibodies to fight it. Globulins are antibodies and these damage the nephrons in the kidneys. As explained by the senior…

A portrait that says: Regal, Majestic, Stately, Dignified, Resplendent, Immaculate. Pole has not fully recovered yet. Yesterday she was sneezing quite badly. She is still on Baytril and I give her Vetri DMG. Today, the sneezing is significantly reduced. We cannot open her mouth to check on her gingivitis, so we will use her ability…

…and expecting different results – Einstein. That’s me. Going insane. So, shortly after the almost-failed subcut, Vincent came to the kitchen asking for food again. I did the same thing, again. Yes, going insane. Vincent, if you don’t want to eat, please don’t come to the kitchen. Can? After everything was just “not right” for…

Today, we change a new set for the subcut. Got everything ready. But a few seconds after the needle went in, Vincent went on a massive protest. We tried everything we could, on the spot. We lifted him up, put him down, didn’t restrain him, restrained him, wiped his head and body with the wet…

Just as I was rejoicing over Vincent’s weight gain, we seem to have a setback again now. Vincent didn’t want to eat this morning, so that was okay. Maybe it was too early and he wasn’t hungry yet. At 7.15am, he came into the kitchen asking for food. I offered, but nothing was right, so…

I thought of writing “Vincent’s progress” as the subject for this post, but I still don’t dare… It is too early to call it “progress”, even though Vincent’s vet is very happy with today’s weight gain news. He calls it “very, very good progress”.  Yay! He also explained this: “But a better indication of health…

We weighed Vincent this morning…. Drrrrummmmroll…………. Take a guess, folks. 3 kg!!!! THREE kilograms!!!! Yes, THREE!! Husband + Vincent = 71.0 kg.  Husband alone = 68.0 kg.  71 – 68 = 3.  Pinch me and check with a calculator to be doubly sure….yes, 71 – 68 is 3!! Last meal was at 10pm. No subcut…

Just when I was going to cut off supper for today, Vincent made the supper call. HOW can you say “no” to Vincent, right? Indy had been making a racket about wanting supper all night, but I told him “no”. Nobody else wanted food.  Even Bunny was already fast asleep.  But when one cat eats,…

Our cats eat four times a day. Previously breakfast and lunch consist of wetfood (raw, home-cooked and canned). Dinner and supper are just snacks so it’s usually very small amounts of kibble. I have tried giving more at dinner so that we could skip supper, but the cats won’t finish a larger amount. Guess they…
