“I look at these people and can't quite believe that they exist. Are they professional actors? I wonder. Or are they simply laymen who want a lot of attention? To put them in perspective, I think of being on an airplane. The flight attendant comes down the aisle with her food cart and, eventually, parks it beside my seat. "Can I interest you in the ( Read more... )

Although this month started out rough, it has finally turned a corner into goodness. 

1. Neechee eats, and boys does he ever.  He is even starting to put back on some weight!!  And in pure "Neeechee Fuck You Style"  the breakthrough of eating came after I prepared him a smorgasboard of tasty fresh salmon and tuna, and he systematically turned up his ( Read more... )

So today I went to vet to get more food to force feed my poor little kitty and they informed me they had gotten all the results, and they now believe we are dealing with a case of lupus.  So on top of his epilepsy, Neechee has lupus.  It doesn't deteriorate his quality of life, so that's good, but it will be an ongoing med balance, but after having ( Read more... )

So we have confirmation that it is indeed an autoimmune issue.  His immune system has stopped attacking what it should, and started attacking his own body.  This can possibly be on ongoing issue, but usually only for older kitties.  In younger kitties, its usually a problem that can be fixed ( Read more... )

So, the tests on Neech didn't come back yet, which sucked, however, that disappointment was short lived since they then told me that even though he wasn't eating on his own, they were gonna let come home, for a list a bit.  The thought is that he may not be eating because he is stressed about being at the vets.  His demeanor is completely different ( Read more... )

It was a long long weekend not being able to visit my kitty since Saturday at noon, but I'm hoping when I go to visit him shortly I am hoping for some good news ( Read more... )

So today came with good news laced with bad.  First thing they tell me is that the liver is showing signs of function, which to me sounded good, then they tell me that signs of function and functioning are two different things.  His liver is not functioning properly and filtering waste, so the fact that its functioning in that way is not all that ( Read more... )

Thanks to all my friends for the well wishes for my little demon spawn kitty, since I don't have LJ at work and spent half my lunch break at the vets I have to do mass response.  So I've visited twice, and so far no improvement....and he didn't hold down his noon feeding, so that's not good.  I'm not sure what I'm gonna do if he doesn't pull ( Read more... )

So, Neechee made it through being abandoned at 4 days old, epileptic seizures, and a virus that nearly killed him last month, but it may just be his liver that takes him down ( Read more... )

I have to be at work at 8, and I can't sleep to save my life..............fuck you insomnia!

Khris had to make a quick trip to the ATL for a friends funeral, and I'm not used to having him next to me...this makes me sad :(

I did however make a care package for him to take: 1 adderall for the ride there, and 1 for the ride back, two clonazapams for ( Read more... )
