Worries

I haven't been around lately because I was busy playing nurse to Loukoum and worrying myself sick. He's had some digestive problem since Saturday and got really ill on Tuesday evening. I took him to the vet on Wednesday morning, because he had diarrhoea that also prompted vomiting, which is not good news for a 17 years old cat.

Turned out that the blood test didn't reveal anything bad – no kidney failure–, but he has lost 800 g again since December which is a concern. The vet put him on a drip to rehydrate him and added an antispasmodic...which later knocked him out and caused mydriasis and mucous dryness for more than 24 hours! Poor thing was miserable.

He seems better today. His pupils are no longer dilated, he's more active, and able to eat normally while he could only lap up wet food yesterday. I wish he would eat more and put some weigth on, though.


And in two weeks I'll be in Rome, away from my fur babies.
