We once took a photo of the whole Tribe together on the bed – it was in the days when They Were Nine, and gone are Mollie, Zool, Shrimp and Drumknott, and Esk and Ptep have moved to Norwich. I doubt we’ll ever get the current Tribe to sit together, but they were all in […]
We had been a bit worried about Liessa – she was down to 1/2 a pill every three days, and she started going downhill. I took her to Judith last Thursday, and I was, I confess, very worried (I do “worried” rather well). Judith, however, was not – so we just upped the dosage to […]
On Friday night, Liessa bounded in with a moth. She likes moths and spiders and such like – such fun to pull their legs off, after you’ve batted them about for a bit, and gone *sproing* a lot. We were watching television, and the lights were fairly low, but it slowly dawned on me that […]
Bada returned once more to see Judith the Vet, to find that she is still well, and we can reduce her medication to 1/2 pill every 3rd day if we want, and she doesn’t need to return for another month unless we’re concerned. We’ve decided to leave her on a 1/2 until we return from […]
Back to the vet yesterday, to be introduced to Judith’s visiting Spanish vet as “the most beautiful cat in Bristol; in fact, probably the most beautiful cat you’ll ever meet”. Which is, of course, entirely right. (Although let us not forget that Pepper is the prettiest cat in the world – even Google says so. […]
Back to the the vet today – Judith was not there, so we saw a new chap. He’s not too happy with Lietha’s mouth, and so she had another of these great 14 day antibiotic shots, and a steroid shot, and stays on 1/2 pill a day (but we can do this as 1 pill […]
as discussed, Liessa‘s now on half a pill a day, and the drugging has been going well. we were away for the weekend, visting Harry, and so we gave her a whole pill on Friday morning, followed by Ham, and then half when we got home on Sunday evening. “She doesn’t seem bothered about a […]
Lietha was conveyed to Judith this morning for her fortnightly check up. *We* felt she was better, but what do we know? and she is – *heaps* better; Judith was very pleased (and introduced her to her (presumably) work experience girl as “the prettiest cat she’d ever meet” – perhaps we should take Moo in […]
and, so far, it seems to be working, to the point that Bada actually sits and *waits* for the pill, and then bounds down the stairs for Ham. Blobs remain unscratched, and we haven’t yet located the pile of pills which I feel sure she will have spat out. a friend, Moyra, pointed out that […]
so, bring on the steroids, then. Small white pills, no smell – how hard can it be? Saturday we got the first one down without too much trouble – but we had the element of surprise on our side (cue jokes about the Spanish Inquisition). Sunday went less well – it went down, but we […]
