It’s already been 10 days now…. Rosie wanted kibble this morning, so kibble it was. Later, I force-fed her some wetfood together with her medicines and supplements. Of course she still wants to get out to “ronda”. By the time I returned home from work in the afternoon, I noticed some vomit in the litter…

Rosie was whining all over the house again, so we decided to let her go to Bunny’s Garden with the hope that she might be happier being on the grass. She wasn’t happy, she just stared out from the Stargate. She continued whining and within minutes, wanted to go back to the house. So I…

Nothing much fantastic to report this morning. Rosie looked interested in food, but when offered, she didn’t eat much. Since cats are finicky/fussy eaters (but wait, I should not use the words “fussy” or “finicky” because that’s just the way cats are and we should not expect them to be otherwise as that would be…

This morning, Rosie ate kibble by herself at about 5.30am. She didn’t want any wet food. Then, at 7.00am, she went to the kitchen to ask for kibble again. So I gave it to her and she ate…on her own. That’s a good sign….(I hope). After that, she started whining all over the house. We…

Good morning, dear friends! Rosie appeared to be very hungry this morning when I let her out of the cage. She rushed to the kitchen. The fastest food I could offer was kibble and she ate it, voraciously too, but not too much. Then, I offered some wetfood (a combination of canned and home-cooked) –…

Rosie was making a racket today and demanded to be let out of the cage… So I took the opportunity to train her using the harness. A few days ago, we tried it and she slipped out of it in a matter of 1-2 seconds. So, today, we tightened the harness and made sure the…

We just returned from the vet’s. First of all, many, many thanks to dear Peggy Tiong for taking Rosie and me all the way to PJ to the vet’s. Second, there’s so much information to share – I hope I can remember all of them! What I learnt: The most important thing for Rosie right now,…

We brought Rosie for a check-up and the intended subcut fluids this evening. Complaining all the way…. When the vet palpated her liver, it felt more enlarged than Monday (but not as big as Friday). However, this is still a setback. We were really hoping it would be smaller than Monday. But it is not.…

Last night Rosie slept in between our pillows again. She still had no appetite and had to be force-fed. But this morning, upon waking, she came down the kitchen and asked for food!! I offered her home-cooked, but she didn’t want it. She looked at the kibble container, so I quickly poured out some kibble…

The best news of the day is that Rosie’s ALT (liver) reading has come down from 641 (on Friday) to 409 (taken on Monday, after 4 days). Although the vet hoped it could have gone down further, but this decrease is significant and is good. The reading would have to come down further in perhaps,…

This morning, Rosie didn’t want to eat by herself again. I had to force-feed her. And she kept whining in the cage too, but I had to go to work. By the time I got home from work, she had already removed the whole bandage and the catheter in her paw was exposed. Oh no!…

Morning breakfast – Rosie was willing to eat a bit on her own. But only a bit. We moved the cage back outside… …so that she could get some healing sun. Ginger was with her. She slept for only awhile. Most of the time, she was whining. Rosie is a wanderer and doesn’t like to…

Rosie was making a racket out at the patio, and we realised why – Zurik was there and she felt very intimidated by him. So, we moved her cage into the house. And here’s some good news – Rosie is willing to eat on her own when hand-fed!!! Look at Ginger….does he not deserve the…

We brought Rosie home for the weekend since the clinic will be closed tomorrow. The drip was taken off, but the catheter is still intact. Ginger came immediately to see Rosie and so did Heidi. Vincent too. Daffodil was upstairs. Soon, she came down…. …but she kept her distance. I think it’s the “smell” problem…

We visited Rosie this morning. She looked very down and that got us worried. Come on, Rosie. Cheer up! But soon… She perked up… Her complete blood test results was ready last night. The blood results doesn’t tell us much except that the ALT (a liver reading) is high (8 times the normal reading). This…
