It will not work and I know it will not work but I will try the stuff until it is gone. I will brew the tea, cool it, add the liquid stuff, munch a couple of the pills, and go read until sunlight. Whenever I do happen to get up, however, I will try to do some work. I have been so drained that doing anything is a heavy chore. The garage needs work, the house needs work, and the roof of the hen house has to be torn off. If I can just get to bits and pieces, taking rest as needed, the rest will fall in line, I am almost certain of that.
Sassy is still a bit sluggish. They suggested that the pain killers were still in affect. Though too, I am sure her wound is taking it's toll too. Sam still does not like her but she is being gentler. She seems to have some sort of honor code. Thank God for small favors. Sam is outside pouting. I think she thought I had gotten rid of the little fart basket. She will come around. If I thought she would not end up being more trouble to Sassy than not, out of precaution, I would keep Sam in the house for the next few days to avert her running away. Women!
Well, it is about time to hit it, or try. Good night all.
It takes a couple days for them to get back to full energy, understandably so. The other one also might be reacting to the smell Sassy brought back from the vet's office. Deja vu for her, perhaps. That smell will fade quickly, though. I'd bring her in and watch to see if she might become gentle and try to 'care' for Sassy. Maternal instinct might kick in.
ReplyDeleteMight ;-)
Watch for fever. If she develops one you will need them to give an antibiotic. Liquid is preferred, although I've had positive results feeding medications crushed up and mixed into can cat food.
ReplyDeleteSWEAT IT OUT!
ReplyDeleteSuck it up buttercup ;)
Or, so this is my advise to myself when such a situation arises!
GOOD LUCK!!!!
Jean,
ReplyDeleteI had hoped. But no, Sam is... Sam. She hates the little interloper, at least for now. They have come nose-to-nose a bit more often, so I am hopeful of some improvement. I think the kitten will have to mature more for Sam to ever like her. And, I understand. I do not let the kitten in to sleep with us because she is up, down, on the attack, and then back down a little to often for Sam or myself to get any sleep otherwise.
D.C.,
Fever? How would I know? Would she just feel warmer? She is around me often enough that I might be able to sense it. But I am not even sure how to take the temp of a cat, or kitten.
Wonder Woman,
Not much to suck up. I fight, I lose, I keep fighting. No idea of how to fix it. It is simply quite aggravating. Thanks for the thoughts. When I wake more, I might think on that a bit.
Cats are tricksy when sick--very good at hiding their malaise. But if she's dragging after more than a couple days, I'd be looking for other signs. Dry, warm nose, rather than moist. Lethargy, loss of appetite. Check the stitches. If they are red, any red swelling around the incision, all these would be indications that she needs to be seen again to have her temp checked and possibly antibiotics prescribed.
ReplyDeleteI think the little monster is doing good. Stitches are good and "flesh" colored, she is mostly back to her old self, though I will check the nose. Appetite seems good too.
ReplyDeleteShe is a little less active today than I have seen her, actually since she got home. Though she might just be "growing" up a bit... it happens, half a sad thing too.
Sounds like she's doing fine then. The only cat I needed to get an antibiotic for after spaying was an older female cat. All the young ones bounce right back.
