Juliet the Cat turns 17 1/2 today – and the poor kitty has a UTI. Hopefully she feels better soon!
Atlantic Puffin
Bob and I just put up some new photos in our local post office photo gallery. Here’s one of his – Atlantic Puffin. We took these out at Machias Seal Island in Maine a few years back. Do you do any birdwatching?
Raising a Parakeet Ebook
Got #parakeet ? My 253-page ebook has tips on treat recipes, making toys, bath-time and more!
US Native Parakeet
Did you know the US used to have a wild, native parakeet? Farmers shot these to extinction in the 1880s.
Parakeet and Budgies
I have finally rebuilt my #Parakeet and Budgies ebook – a long, arduous process. Lots of fixing of formatting issues. I need a few beta readers to help me check that everything’s set now – let me know if you would like a free copy!
Toothless the leopard froglet
Toothless the leopard froglet is nearly down to the no-tail state! He’ll be moving to the #froglet tank soon :).
Tadpoles
The tadpoles are growing legs! So cool. We are greatly enjoying our little tadpole friends.
Here’s a video of my cute little tadpoles. You can see the tiny back legs emerging on a few of the larger ones –
Hummingbird Video
Here’s my “pet” hummingbird who hangs out at my window all day. She’s so cute!
Meditate
Heading into my 10pm meditation. Grateful Juliet the cat’s vet appt went well today. She seems to be healing up well. Ohhmmmm. #meditate
Juliet the Cat and her UTI
A Julie update.
The vet called the next day to check on her, which was good of them. Bob talked to the vet about the pill-based antibiotic and the vet said the liquid one is both harder to manage (has to be refrigerated etc) and also costs $20 more. At this point Julie is gulping down the pill without much fuss so it’s probably just as well we went the pill route. We don’t even coat them in butter any more.
While she was on the Kitty-morphine she had pretty much zero appetite. She barely ate anything. She barely moved. Just a few hours after the kitty-morphine wore off, she was alert and hungry. So she’s back to eating and drinking at a normal rate, which is great. She doesn’t seem to be in any pain at all.
It’s a huge help to our schedules to have her now just on the twice-a-day antibiotics. I actually slept a full sleep cycle for the first time in nearly a week last night. So I’m no longer a zombie. We’re all happy she’s feeling better :).
We will of course keep the antibiotics going until they are fully done, to ensure she stays healed. And we’ll leave her on the Science Diet 11+ going forward, along with her wet food. She mostly prefers the wet food but occasionally takes a nibble on the Science Diet.
Thank you to everyone for the warm wishes along the way! I’m very glad it all seems to have resolved. Let me know if you have any questions. Hopefully my notes can help others who might face this issue in the future.
