A good knock on my head, a stark reminder – Juno needs sunshine. I recently got acquainted with a new nutritionist and we got talking yesterday. I told him I contracted mycoplasma pneumonia and I mentioned Juno had a mycoplasma infection too, in early October this year. His first question was: Mold? Fungi? Cold damp…

My mycoplasma relapsed last night (don’t worry please, I can still function). As the doctor had said, it’s a “marfan” bacteria. It will keep coming back. (But it didn’t come back for Juno, you know. 14 days on Doxy, kau-tim.) So, I consulted my brilliant pharmacist and also checked out all my cats’ antibiotics (I…

Juno did not have any soft stools all day since the morning round yesterday. I think I should give her the Feline Gut Soothe for at least a week or so now. It’s so good of her to willingly lick up the probiotic mixed with Ciao treats. I don’t have to force feed her. Planning…

I went for my fourth drip just now. This time I was seen by the head doctor and he explained that even though I am so much better, I have to complete the twice per day 3-day drip. So, no short cut there. The reason is, mycoplasma pneumonia is rare but very complicated (“marfan”, he…

It was impossible to keep Tabs and Riley away from me.  Both wanted to be nearby. So I wore a mask. Juno had been exiled (most happily) to Bunny’s Place. The little one doesn’t know much, she just loves to play. Mycoplasma infection, as the doctor has said, really tires you out. I slept all…

Who has mycoplasma pneumonia now? Me. I have been having this persistent cough for weeks now. Seen the doctor three times. Tested negative for Covid-19, Influenza A and Influenza B. The cough wasn’t serious, but very phlegmy and just wouldn’t heal. So this morning was my fourth visit to the doctor’s for the same complaint.…

Just three days ago, Juno had soft stools, but it was just once. Feline Gut Soothe took care of that. I thought that was related to her having spent the whole day at Bunny’s Place and eating grass the day before. This morning, she passed out soft stools twice (with form), and then, it was…

It’s supposed to be given tomorrow morning, but since it’s a probiotic, I cheated…and I gave it to him just now. It was raining and Smurfy had gone into the big cage by himself. I saw the opportunity there so I gently closed the cage door and raced to get the last dose of Promax.…

Juno’s all good now. She has firm, solid stools and only about 2-3 times daily, which is normal for a kitten. The nightmare is finally over and please, we can all do without another one. Since her rescue on 2nd September 2024, Juno has had a collapsed lung, suspected mycoplasma infection and coccidia infection which…

Just barely 15 minutes after I wrote that I’d decided to surrender to Smurfy, I caught him!! What it took this time was to wait for him to come down for food. I brought out the bowls of kibble and this time, instead of waiting for him to eat first, the moment he started eating,…

It’s been two hours now and I know when I’m beaten! Smurfy knows all my tricks now. He refused to come down for breakfast until I went inside the house. The moment I tried to come out, he’d bolt up back to the platforms, so I had to stay inside to let him eat. He…
