National Football Hangover Day. Many people call in sick the day after the Super Bowl.
National Iowa Day
National Kite Flying Day. I’d like to know who came up with this holiday in January! Here we are, freezing cold with our expected high temperature staying barely above 0°F. If that’s not cold enough, in order for it to be windy enough to fly a kite, the chill factor would likely be at least -20°F. Why on Earth would anyone fly a kite in that kind of weather? Kite flying day should be in April or in the summer.
Well, Misty has had three weeks of antibiotics and it didn’t clear things up (She was diagnosed with Cat Flu and an upper respiratory infection), although in the beginning it looked like it was getting on top of the respiratory infection. She finished the antibiotics five days ago and her breathing has been getting steadily worse since then, in fact it hadn’t actually got back to normal before the end of the course. On Friday I contacted the vet, and the earliest I could get her in was this afternoon.
Her breathing is audible, her meow is strange sounding, and it just really sounds like she is stuffed up with mucus. On the plus side, she isn’t breathing through her mouth, and there’s no discharge from her nose, plus she’s still eating well.
Her vitals have come back normal, she doesn’t have a temperature, and other than the breathing problems and a runny left eye, she’s OK. She has had the runny left eye since I got her seven years ago (She’s thirteen), sometimes it is worse than others, sometimes it clears up, it is quite bad now.
The next thing we are going to do is some tests to find out what exactly is going on. We may discover that it’s the Cat Flu virus causing all of this; if it is then we’ll treat the symptoms and hope that she can fight it off. We may find that it is a bacterial infection that requires a different type of antibiotics to combat it, or we might find it’s something untreatable that is presenting these symptoms. I’m waiting for the veterinary surgery to phone me to sort out a date and what tests I wish to have done.
We can’t treat the symptoms with antibiotics and steriods as they will skew the results of any tests we do, so all I can do at the moment is give her a non-steriod anti-inflamatory, and hope that it helps (fifty-fifty chance), and wait for the call from the vet.
Having an animal companion is a joy, losing said animal companion is hell, having your animal companion unwell is torture.
Awww, how sweet. (Okay, not really, but one should never argue with her Royal Majesty Queen Lily. ) On another note, saw four juncos while out walking today. By the way, today is my birthday.
We’re (west Tennessee) getting ready for sub zero temperatures this coming weekend, and an ice storm this coming Thursday. So, I did major grocery shopping today, picked up a prescription I will be out of by the weekend, and will go to the feed store for senior horse feed and timothy pellets for my old donkey tomorrow. I’m putting a lot more firewood in the house to be really dry, and moving the stack from the yard to the porch. I think I’m about ready.
