my pretty angelina, vet visit

Yes, here's hoping it doesn't San.

Fingers crossed - its horrible when your pets are ill - its not as if they can tell you.

I'm sure every thing will be fine, let's keep our fingers crossed till 22nd!

Keep thinking positive Sandra, just because there's lots of sad things going on just now try not to worry too much until you know. Give Angelina extra cuddles and a big one from me too. She's gorgeous. x

So long as she's eating alright and not drinking too much water, then the chances are good, I'd say! Mrs James has had cats all her life, so she's become a bit of an expert in that field. I'm sure everything will be hunky-dory!

thanx everyone for you kind wishes, im trying not to worry but its not easy is it, i love her so much, and she was so badly treated before i found her and gave her what she deserved, a happy loving home, she`s such a loving cat and so happy, lily i will pass on your hugs thankyou, and merffyn she is drinking alot these days, we never use to see her drink till last month i guess, does that mean anything
so thanx louise, GS, paul, lily and merfyn x

Hope all will be well sent you a pm to read link ;o)

No expert Sandra if any help one of our cats had a kidney infection and vet said she was drinking a lot to flush out kidneys ..antibiotics resolved matters so would only suggest you hold on to simpler causes before fearing the worst .

Especially as you seem to have so much else to deal with just now .

If you ve read Bobg s blog you may feel whos he to be offering advice ..only tying to help lol

thanx BB and im open to all advice even if it means certain injuries lol, im hoping its nothing like you say and she is drinking quite alot, anyway she had antibiotic jab for any infection and to help her eye, so fingers crossed :o)
thanx morgana ive pm you

Cheers lol Agony Aunt that s what BB said, So I will let you all into a little secret, I have been one for years not only telling fortunes for free but advice free to, I use to have house fulls to my house, even the owner of Jaguar works who I use to chat to on a cb every morning and night, I use to have a lot of teenagers too with their problems, those who society condem with out serching why they do what they do and why they are why they are taking drugs, if fact these kids even now and they are over 40 call me mum, these drugies never seen my children and my self go cold, like the goverment and others who stood by and watched, they would get their mothers shopping trolly with their mothers permission oh if its for your 2nd mother go ahead. They would go and fetch my coal , bring coffee and tea if I ran out after giving all the people drinks that came to my home, those that would pay fortune tellers 30.00 but could nt offer a bit of tea or a 10p sweet for my children . I always mean like BB to help, but it seems all it causes is trouble and people dont appreciate it either so now I only help those I know dont look a gift horse in the mouth. Sorry I have placed this on your blog .

hi morgana have read the link which was interesting, so i will check in with the vet and all being well angelina will be well to, then i can concider her diet, for a long happy life :o)

I am pleased its suprising what info is out there but lots dont know about. Thank you for looking.

I hope all goes well with your brother and Anglelina,Remember cats have NINE lifes and i'm sure with lots of love and care there'll both be alright .God Bless :o)

yw morgana, and thanx swanky, im carmer now and will face what i have to as it comes,

hello San. I really hope Angel is OK. The vet can't have been too worried if he doesnt want to see her for a couple of weeks :-) My Jess worries me all the time so I know how you feel. This is the last thing you need :-(

hi dawn and thankyou, i think he felt awful as i got so upset,so maybe the antibiotics will do something and its not what he thought, well we may as well have it all at once then next year we will all be ok :o)

So sorry about Angelina Sandra, hope all will be ok with her on 22nd, try not to get down to much, just think of Smokey with his kidney failure, he was diagnosed with it 18mths ago, and is still hanging in there, did'nt think he would be with us last xmas but the way he's going think he could see a few more, well hoping he does i've had him since he was 5wks old and he's 17 now, got my fingers crossed for her, and like with Conker Smokey's waging his tail for her.

The antibiotics will be good for her, wont they. I get upset at the vets too :-((( I wonder if vets are trained in dealing with upset owners, lol. My vet is lovely too and she loves Jess and Jess love her too, she just lies on her side on the table (Jess that is, lol) purring away and reminds the vet of her cat when she was a child as she is the same colour :-))

thanyou so much carol, yes smokey is doing great isnt he, so im going to think possitive,, angelina says meow to smokey :o)

Aww Carol, Smokey is a bit older than Jess - they are a worry, arent they.

sorry we crossed then dawn, he is very kind, a nice guy, he even asked me was i ok, could see i wasnt well, so he talked to me about me as well, lolangelina was so good with him, didnt try to claw him or wriggle away, why cant she be like that with me when im trying to do her eye cream and demat,, lol

Fingers crossed for your little Angelina ballerina Sanbaz...clicked on' I like this blog' cos she looks so lovely. xx

awww thanx fluff, i will tell her that lol, she`s sleeping fast after her stressful day, and im a bit tired to now so catch up tomorrow, nite fluff

Some times you know Smokey can go a couple of months without an injection then another time he only goes a couple of weeks, think i've got quite good at knowing when he his ready for one,also i dont go on holiday anymore just incase he needs one when im away, as i can tell with in a couple of days that he's ready for one.

Nite honey.x

Top tip for medicating pussy cats with cream in eyes etc.
1. Put on old thick jumper.
2 Pick up cat and cuddle on chest, head up, tail down, obviously.
3. Let go. Cat will now be hanging in easy reach of both hands.
4. Hold head with one hand and apply cream with other.
5. Make fuss of cat, release claws and put down.
Works every time - my Misty never learns.

oooh the spitting and hissing i remeber when my mums cats had to have any type of medication
oh my goodness I fully understand being scared hehe

lets keep all fingers and toes crossed for your litle Angelina

x x x

I'm looking after my daughter's cats at the moment and the three legged one has to have a kidney tablet once a day and an asthma inhaler twice a day (he's a walking , or hopping disaster area!) The inhaler is the same as for humans but fits on to a contraption with a plastic cup shaped bit which has to be held over his nose for 1 minute after pressing the puffer. He sits absolutely still the whole time then has his pill straight after, good as gold!! The other one has a pretend puff too as he thinks he's missing out on something good. lol

That is so sweet, Lily.

you make that sound so easy wagger not sure i will try, angelina getting old and i would worry just incase she fell, and ive seen leonard rossiter with vienna on rising damp if you remeber that episode lol
thankyou so much jen x
aww lily isnt she good letting your daughter do that, maybe she knows its for her own good x

It's me been doing it this week Sandra so he's being extra good!

thats great lily, i think because i havent had angelina since being young she just isnt use to having things done, but i will have to keep trying if she needs more for her eye, the vet says drops easier cause just drop them when she looks up lol will see hehe

Good luck with that San, don't think I would fancy doing it!

thanx lily, talk about stress lol

Heres hoping sweetie! Its about time things went well for you!

I first saw this method on tv, Sanbaz and used it with Misty when she started taking two tablets every day - she fought like a tiger, lol. Using this method she got used to being medicated morning and evening and just sits patiently waiting to have her mouth opened. She will still spit them out if she gets the chance but they are bright pink so I soon find them.

cheers mari im hoping it is just with the infection she has had in her eyes, shes eating ok still and sitting in the garden as i speak :o)
lol wager maybe i will try if i have to have any meds for her when i go, get baz to stand ready to catch her just incase lol

You certainly have been having a tough time recently with your brother and you and now your Angelina. I hope she doesn't need any more treatment and that her tummy swelling is nothing serious - Misty says she'll share her tablets with Angelina if she likes, they're such a pretty colour.

lol wagger i sure angelina wouldnt mind in the slightest :o)

I have not heard of the jumper method! I always put mine on the arm of the sofa and stand behind him, to block him as he tries to back away! Hope she is doing OK San, and her tummy swelling is not anything nasty.....x

thanx potty, well im not sure what the outcome will be, she`s eating and out as we speak in the garden enjoying the sun, i did notice i could feel her ribs yesterday and cant normally, she never stops eating, always food down for her, my son came yesterday and hadnt seen her i a while and also noticed the wieght lose, hope this isnt a bad sign

That's good San...I'm sure the sunshine will do her good...as it does all of us.

cheers fluff, going out there myself now, catch you later :o)

Ah..... that's where the sun's hiding today is it? ooop north. A bit grey down here round Bracknell although we're getting the occasional glimmer. I don't begrudge it to you and Angelina though San, you both deserve it.

hi lily and thanx, im just on my way outside to do a bit of planting, sorry your not getting as much sun today, my brother wont be pleased either,enjoy your day, :o))

Yep, I wondered where the sun was too! It's helping Angelina :o)

it sure is, still outside under the tree sleeping fast bless

It's very common for older cats to develop an overactive thyroid - symptoms weight loss and eating more. It's diagnosed by a simple blood test. That's Misty's problem and is easily treatable with tablets so in a way I hope for you that it's that.

thanx for that wagger i will bring that up when at vets :o)
