I’m so totally freaked out that I spent the whole day watching Cow because I’m so worried about his FLUTD. Even though the vet told me in many cases where there is no blockage, the disease might resolve itself through a change in diet (to Royal Canin’s S/O), I’m still worried. I think it hurts…

Ever since Vincent’s second gum jab, things have not exactly gone as planned. I’m not sure whether that’s good or bad, though. I ordered the Oxyfresh Pet Deodoriser, meant to be dropped into their drinking water… The vet had told me that in some of his gingivitis patients, it helps. I only put a drop…

I freaked out this morning. There were droplets of blood-stained urine in the places where Cow always sprays. Believe it or not, this is one time that I am “glad” Cow sprays, or else I wouldn’t have noticed that he has blood-stained urine. Then, Cow showed me that he was straining to urinate. I observed…

After one night of being confined in the cage, Vincent was bright and cheerful this morning as I let him out to rejoin the troop at the patio. He is eating very well! We don’t really have a plan for Vincent after this round of gum jabs. The gum jabs help, that goes without saying…

Vincent’s gum problem came back about two days ago. I began noticing a change in his behaviour a few days ago and this was followed by that same reaction while eating which he had last time – he would eat, suddenly jerk away and bolt. Twice, he came to eat with everyone, but suddenly, he would…

So it takes about 7 days for the antibody built-up to come to a peak. True enough, on the 7th day, Daffodil stopped sneezing! After that, there was just an occasional sneeze, about once a day, and since yesterday, the sneezing has stopped! I’ve been doing the saline drop into her nostrils and noticed that…

I plucked up enough courage. I managed to do the saline drip for Daffodil! It was all done nonchalantly. The trick is, you must be extremely calm about it so that the cat does not sense any tension, fear or anxiety on your part. It was….actually, quite easy, really. I even managed to do it…

Daffodil has been sneezing and having a runny nose for 5 days now. I thought 5 days was a bit too long so we made a trip to the vet’s today. The last trip to the vet’s, Daffodil was so scared she stretched out and tore the plastic covering of my car seat. This time I’m more…

Daffodil skipped lunch today. She looked quite sickly and that really got me worried. Her nose was wet (wetter than it should be) so I think she caught the flu. Since yesterday, I had heard her sneezing a few times. You’d remember that Tiger was heard sneezing for one day, but only for a day. Ginger…

On the day that Vincent went for his dental surgery, we also took Daffodil to the same vet. We found her limping that morning, lifting up her right front leg whenever she walked. Not wanting to take any chances, we decided to take her to the vet’s for a check-up. Daffodil has never been anywhere…
