Kitty and Co.
Apr. 11th, 2016 11:16 pmThanks everyone!
All the wishes for our kitty might have been heard.
The good news: It wasn't her kidneys.
The not so good news: She has Inflammatory Bowel Disease. We changed her diet and she gets anti-inflammatory drugs (prednisone) every day now. She also showed signs of a Pankreatitis, but this was probably due to the bowel issue and her vomiting over some time. Her digestive enzyme levels are fine.
The best news: She likes her new diet which is mighty fine. Try to feed a kitty food they don't want to eat...and beware of the tiger unleashed. Since the change of diet she's stopped vomiting. Yay!
It'd be great if we could reduce the prednisone after some time. Taking corticosteroids for ages can be a double-edged sword as these drugs have a lot of side effects on their own. But I shouldn't get ahead of myself (again) and just relax, as she's really doing fine right now.
And because good news sometimes come in flocks I have to share this stunning picture I won on tumblr. I chose the pairing (Bagginshield) and the colours (Durin blue really suits them) and
camillo1978 did all the hard work. What an amazing work that is: look at all these muscles and how they emphasize the differences between them. I love how the light bathes their skin, and how lost they are in each other. Yes, I'm in love with this pic.
Oi, it's already late here and I have to stop.
Wish you a good night or day!
