After last night’s welcome turnaround where Cleo finally started eating on her own (after having not eaten for three whole days), I was still a trifle worried that it might be short-lived joy again. But this morning, Cleo ate her breakfast. Of course she did not finish this amount since Cleo is a small eater,…

This morning, about an hour after the nebulization, Cleo kept sneezing for about half an hour. I thought the nebulization is supposed to stop the sneezing, so why was the opposite happening? Wanting to be optimistic, I hypothesized that perhaps (hopefully), the nebulization has loosened up the mucous and the body is trying to expel…

Cleo is still not eating on her own. I have only managed to give a very small amount of pureed food three times a day. Her snorting has decreased, but her appetite is not back. This morning started with our disastrous attempt at giving her the two pills – it’s half a pill and another…

Cleo was doing well yesterday morning – she was up and about, alert and eating quite well. But by evening, she could not eat again and had started snorting. She was also mewing quite a bit. This condition persisted until this morning, so we had to take her back to the vet’s again. Her airways…

Cleo was already up and about at dawn this morning. The bleeding from the sinuses decreased last night and have now stopped completely. However, last night was a bit of a problem in the room. My plan was to keep the boys (Cow, Bunny and Indy) in the pantry for the night after the rain…

Cleo’s dental surgery was supposed to be on Tuesday, but there was a vacant slot today, so it got bumped up. I also requested for an earlier slot since the mouth pain was causing her so much difficulty in eating. A five-day wait would have been very challenging, especially when she already had so much…

It’s been 12 years, believe it or not. Cleo’s been balding at the flanks for 12 years. It started when she was 2+ years old. I took her to see many vets over the years, but none could solve the mystery of her balding flanks so we just accepted it and left it at that.…

I don’t know if Cleo was traumatised after the car ride or vet’s visit yesterday, or is it because there is new renovation works going on around our house, but she refused to eat today. I had thought that with the treatment and painkillers, she should be eating better than before, but no, she did…

Cleo has been having mouth pain for sometime now.  It started a few weeks back, but it wasn’t frequent. Since she is very hard to handle, I’ve decided to put off taking her to the vet’s until it is absolutely necessary. She is stressed in the car as well. Of all our cats, Cleo is…

Both Indy and Ginger were traumatised by their fight. Even though Ginger won the fight, he appeared to be in a daze after that. He only ate a little bit of lunch and spent the whole afternoon sleeping. By evening, he was somewhat back to his normal habits again. We noticed that there was a…

I don’t know how it started, but Indy with Cow & Bunny were out in the patio for their usual morning routine. Suddenly, I heard the war cries and found Indy and Ginger locked in battle. Fur was flying all over the place and I had to use the water hose to separate them. Checked…

It never rains but it pours. Bunny has eye ulcers…in both his eyes. I noticed Bunny closing his eyes each time after taking his antibiotics (Clavamox) and the Cystaid Plus. But I thought he was just resting, until this morning when I noticed his right eye tearing and inflamed. A day after starting on the…

After barely three hours from taking his first dose of antibiotics and supplement, Bunny was already able to urinate normally! There was also no more straining after our return from the vet’s. That is most likely the effect of the anti-inflammatory injection. I continued observing Bunny all afternoon. Some “manja” time! Back to normal habits.…

Bunny suddenly had a urinary tract infection today. He was urinating normally in the morning, but suddenly at around 11am, he started straining to try and urinate and either no urine came out or there were just droplets. He kept doing this repeatedly and it was worrying. It’s rather strange how the UTI happened so…

It’s been 15 days since Bunny underwent the manual evacuation of his bowels. And it’s been 15 days of meticulous monitoring of his bowel movements plus a strict regimen of extra water, supplements and laxatives to help Bunny. I’ve also started a “Poopy Gallery” to monitor and keep track of Bunny’s bowel movement and the…
