Early discharge!! CRP dropped to 38.2! The stars are aligned! Two more IV-infusions today and I am good to go! That should be at 7pm. To continue with oral Augmentin and oral Doxy. Specialist fully acknowledges my phobia of SJS. It was between Levofloxacin and Augmentin. Also, I’ve taken Augmentin before. Levofloxacin would be new…

This is what happened last night. 2.50am: Syncope Episode Averted – phew! It was time for my IV-Infusion at midnight. A male nurse was on duty and he noticed that the IV-port on my right arm was already leaking and the area around my arm was already red and swollen. Good eye. The IV-port needs…

Juno has completed her third vaccination! Husband took Juno to the clinic this morning and were very lucky to be seen by the senior vet. Juno has increased in weight, her baby teeth are changing to permanent ones too. Since I had already dewormed her, this was not repeated. But we should deworm her once…

I am writing this upon the request of several friends who would like to know the facts of the case. It is a technical piece, so you might want to skip it if your interest is not in this area. Thank you. This summarises the pertinent points of my entire experience with pneumonia, from the…

My CRP came down to a pleasantly-surprising 63 this morning!! So this new IV antibiotic is doing its job, Tazocin. It’s only available in IV form and there is no exact oral equivalent for it. There are two close ones, but they do not cover the entire spectrum that Tazocin covers. Close, but not close…

During their evening meal just now, I video-called the cats and Robin was the most excited of all.  Tabs too. How I miss them. Here are some of the dinner photos. Gerald came to have a huge meal. Doing the Vetri DMG for Ginger. He gets it daily because he’s FIV+. I don’t know how…

So I was feeling so down, not being able to go home today. Sigh…life really sucks. Then, the nurse came in to do the regular checks of BP, temperature and O2 sat. Is it common for patients of pneumonia to have to change antibiotics? She says it’s very common. That is why we need to…

This morning, I woke up at 2.40am. No fever. Hooray, I’ve fulfilled the criteria of “no fever for 24 hours”. Lungs have been clear all the while. So I would just have to wait for them to take blood and check my CRP. I have zero symptoms. I feel fine. I was so sure the…

Way back, our vet was a very senior vet. This was during the time of Mac & Bobby, Cow Mau and siblings, Indy too. Indy was rescued from the drain with impossible-to-survive conditions. But he did. I was supposed to help a friend look after him for 2 weeks, but he ended up with us…
