an uncomfortable moment
Posted: Wed Apr 30, 2014 10:00 pm
Yesterday I got home to my kitty , ongoing saga but she needed to go to the vet so I packed her up in her little kitty carrier and got out to the car. I put her down beside the car and got in. wow it is hot in the car I thought so before putting the cat in the hot car I did the humane thing and rolled down all the windows. It wasn't until I opened the sunroof, which I almost never open that to my surprise I got a hot splash. It wasn't till I exited the car, now covered from one end to the other that I realized I had put a great big travel mug with no lid on top of the car and that was why I was absolutely soaked with hot coffee.
I get to the vet after showering and changing my clothes and he prescribes four different medications to give miss kitty. a hunger stimulant that I am to grind up and put in her food. An antibiotic, a laxative and a pain medicine that makes her mouth froth up and causes her to drool all over the place. each thing is a separate shot in the mouth and down the hatch.. wow it is a lot of catch and release.. twice a day.l.she's been on the antibiotic and the pain meds since the accident and the vet thinks the reason she can't poo is because that part of her still hurts from the bite wounds. I thought I was making headway getting her off the pain meds but as fate will have it these things are sometimes a step ahead and two back before you reach the finish.
Kitty is going to hate me if she doesn't now. I have been battling issues for two and a half weeks since the pitbull next door tried to kill her and was pulled off. I have been stuffing stuff down her throat ever since , continuously offering her water and trying every imaginable way of trying to get her to drink water. Yesterday I thought well maybe if she thinks I like it she'll do the monkey see thing. so here I am with a clean dish lapping up water with her watching on wondering about her master's sanity.. well the other day contiuously dipping my finger and sucking it worked so It seemed reasonable at the time..I am sure I hard her laugh. she hasn't been pooing or eating much so that's why the vet visit
so last night I get her to eat , yeaaaa ! and in it the appetite stimulant, ok this will be a breeze I thought. before bed I shoot the antibiotic in her mouth without her biting me, the laxative, then I think ok just one more and it is bedtime for me .. and the pain killer but yea as fate would be the pain killer was just too fast or too much and she throws up all over my bedroom..
so I have to force feed her the food but she wasn't that uncomfortable, gave her the drugs again , hoping she didn't get a double dose.. I figured she threw them up so what to do?
at 4 AM she goes down to the kitchen and starts yowling for food, that appetite stimulant kicked in , I hope the couch is still there and hasn't been eaten. there is poo in the kitty litter box and hopefully the laxative hasn't made the war torn house even worse.. wow doing this twice a day is really going to be a challenge, at least I learned my lesson with the sun roof ! I am amazed she still likes me with it all. I hope she knows I am trying to save her and not trying to be abusive. I think she does.. she still purrs a lot if that means anything.
