Last Time at Tricia's House of Chaos

Crazy couple of days with no time to sit down and write a condo. Sorry. Vet appointments both days, lots of driving and kitty uncooperativeness. We're all still here, though.

Cinco had some great cycles over the past couple of days, and looked like he was headed for another today, but going to the vet kinda put a cramp in his style. That +5 was taken by a vet tech, so no idea what it would have been at home, on our meter. Since they were drawing blood for a T4, I asked them to grab a test, which they obligingly did. During Minka's acupuncture session, I gave Cinco a snack and then let him explore the room. He ran into an obstacle (I think it was a u/s machine on a stand) and decided that was enough exploring. He plopped down and went to sleep. :rolleyes: Dr. Kress couldn't get over how calm he was. As long as he's not in a carrier, he doesn't care where he is.

Sasha got her follow up x-ray yesterday, and that blob in her throat was almost completely gone (just a little speck, the doctor said). They'll wait for the radiologist's report to give the all clear, but we're pretty confident it was nothing to worry about. :):):) We saw a different oncologist from last week, so he wasn't sure if the mouth sore was better or worse. We were there late in the day, and Dr. S (who had seen us last) was already gone, so he couldn't ask her. He took a picture of it and said he'd show her today and see what she thought, and would also show it to someone from Dentistry (they were also gone) to see if they felt there was action to be taken. He's supposed to let me know today, but I haven't heard from him yet. He told me to send an e-mail if I didn't hear from him by late this afternoon, so I just did so.
Still no word on Cinco's biopsy results. Now I guess we'll have to wait until at least Monday. :nailbiting::nailbiting::nailbiting:

Minka's appy was poor yesterday and worse today. Not even baby food would tempt her. I wish the acupuncture had helped her like it did Vyktor. I syringed a little over 6 cc when we got home so I could give her all her meds. She ate about a tablespoon of baby food after that, but nothing since. If she won't eat dinner, I'll be syringing some more. I'm wondering if she's a little constipated, as her poos have been harder and drier than usual, and smaller. I rubbed some coconut oil on her paw yesterday for her to lick off, and today I gave her some hairball medicine (she's had a hairball ever three or four days lately). I just don't know what else to do. She won't eat pumpkin or squash or tolerate any supplements in her food. She was definitely nauseated this morning, but doesn't seem to be as bad this afternoon. Very frustrating.

Sasha's appy is just okay. But it's been so hot the past few days, and she lives upstairs, so I'm not worrying too much. I still think the sore is affecting it, too.

Harvey is hoovering right along. :)

All this running around has left me even more behind in my household chores, so I need to get moving. Hope everyone is having a good Friday.

Sending healing vines to all in need and hugs to all their beans. :bighug: Prayers continue for Amy's DF, Lyresa's DF and DH, Marje's DM, Chris' DM, Molly's DM, and Elise's DM.

 
Lovely lagoon numbers for Cinco and very glad the blob in Sasha's throat is almost gone and nothing to worry about:D:D:D

C'mon Misha - you gotta eat for the mamabean!
 
I love how Cinco just goes with the flow. Poor Minka and the hairballs...as you know, we've been going through that with Petey this week, too. Much rougher than usual - multiple hairball events resulting in a very crappy appy that is finally starting to come bac. One thing my vetty recommends for hairballs is Capilex (I think that's how you spell it). I haven't tried it myself, but they test all the products in-office before they recommend them, and they were happy with the results of this stuff. It's made by Bock Labs, the same people who make the ConSeal AIH phos binder I use with Trix, and I really like that. I'm going to try Capilex with Petey, although I'm not sure I'll be able to get him to eat it - he's a kibble head and he's always suspicious of treats. But maybe you could check that out for Minka...I think you can only get it through a vet.

Sending vines for the whole crew - including you!!
 
It's good to hear the blob was almost gone from Sasha's throat. I hope you get the all clear report soon. I hope you get good news for Cinco and Sasha's mouth. Sending appy vines for Minka. :bighug:
 
Doing the happy dance on Sasha's results :joyful: hope Cinco's are worth the wait and are just as happy. It's so cool that he's so relaxed anywhere, especially when he's blind. It shows just how much he trusts you :cat:

I wish Minka had reacted like Vyktor to the acupuncture. His vet said to expect results within three sessions so there is still hope for Minka, maybe she will just react more normally and it will take a little longer, or you need to find a better acupuncturist - sending appy vines for her. A bit heavier on the coconut oil wouldn't hurt either. I syringe about 1.5ml a day into Vyktor but I have noticed that he needs both the pumpkin and the coconut oil to keep him regular. Maybe you could syringe pumpkin or squash too?
 
Im so glad to hear about Sasha. Cinco could give lessons in chilling out. My guy appears to be chilled but is extra sensitive and stressed.

I hope someone figures out how to make Minka feel better and want to eat.
 
Thanks for visiting us, Anne, Amy, Carla, Elise and Serryn.

Minka ate about 1/3 of her dinner, so a little better. Sasha did about the same. Harvey and Cinco are CPC members.

@Vyktors Mum, Minka has been going for Acupuncture for months, so if it was going to help, it would have done so by now. I think she's targeting the causes more than the symptoms - her pancreas and kidneys. I'm just not sure it's doing any good. She has gained a little weight, but I think that's more because I follow her around all day with food. :rolleyes: I may try syringing some baby food squash if current attempts don't help. Great idea.

@Amy&TrixieCat, it appears you are right that Capilex is only available through vets. I haven't ever seen it on the shelf at my vet, but I will ask next time I'm there.
 
hey...
i had a really rotten day....
i tried to milk it by getting my dh to commit to that table and bench set at napa style.....but he didn't go for it. ( aw , drat)

i Own the incompetence box....
so you can't compete.
Sorry!
 
Tricia you might consider dropping the acupuncture for a bit to see if there is any deterioration. I think sometimes that's the only way to find out if something's working.

I'll bet your house can't compete with mine for disaster, and it's like that whatever's going on (or not), at least you have some good excuses, I'm just feral!
 
WHEW!!!...well we can relax on one test result now.....Hopefully soon we'll be able to relax on the other one!!

No need to feel incompetent either!! After all, it wouldn't be Tricia's House of Chaos if everything was in it's place and organized!

Cinco, buddy.....now that all that vetty business is done with (for now), head on down to the lagoon....let's go for a paddle!!
 
We've got this down tonight, Cinco!! I just got out a few minute ago to dry off and spend a little time watching from the beach, so now it's your turn to paddle out with the kitties and pass out the water wings when they need them!

I'll keep the campfire stoked
 
Cinco is such a cool dude!
Great news on Sasha's blob.
Harvey is great.
All we need is Minka to eat ....come on sweety ...eat up a little bit for your mamabean
 
Just checking in and this is the last condo I could find for your crew. I'm glad Cinco is doing well and I hope Minka is eating better now.

I also vote for your amazingness and awesomeness.

Loved Cinco's nekkid pic on Neko's condo!!
