Life gets hectic
Chappy went to the vet to be treated a few days ago. He had 5 holes in his neck and chin. The vet didn’t think that they were cat bites. My thoughts are the wire must be torn in the habitat. I am going to have to do a thorough check of the enclosure, but right now the rain is preventing me from doing this. I want to check it from the outside, because the inside has so much cat stuff it would be hard to manuever. Chap spent a night at the vet’s office and is home now, on antibiotics and quite stressed from his separation. I have him upstairs and his mom is camped out on the downstairs landing separated by the barrier door.
We drove 16 hours to take the siamese to Siamese Rescue. Dropped her off in Lake Stevens, met the wonderful foster family and then drove straight home. Yikes! What a long day that was! We arrived home at 2:00 a.m. and immediately crashed.
On a sad note, we put India down. She wasn’t getting better, she was getting worse. She stopped eating and drinking and prior to that she had stopped pooping all together. Three vets and numerous tests could not pinpoint the problem. With great sadness we released her to the angels and she is now up and running free. I am sure that Jeremy’s lap is full these days.
As my friend and fellow-rescuer Dusty tells me time and time again. Sometimes, what we rescue them from is bigger than we can manage. It is part of our world, to rescue, and when we have to, too let go.
I have asked a friend of mine if she might consider taking Tipster into her heart. She recently lost her older cat, and although Tip may resemble her cat to closely, I thought I would try. I know that she would give him a wonderful home.
They finally found out what was wrong with my husband. He has clostridium difficile. They have put him on medication and said within three weeks he will be good to go (no pun intended). I am so relieved. After all the tests, the surgery and the specialists etc…they find out what is going on. Ironically, it was their actions that made him ill in the first place!
