What A Week...

Feathering My Nest has moved!... come check all of this out over at www.featheringmynest.ca/blog

Had the best intentions to get back on projects this past week... well our big fur baby Milo had been seeming a little off the past little bit and this past Tuesday night we knew something was wrong... he was moaning when just trying to walk around... we whisked him away to the 24 hour animal emerg over near Deerfoot Meadows... he had tests, X-rays and an ultrasound... they didn't find anything way out of whack...  BUT he had quite a high fever that they were trying to bring down...

 

Wednesday night we switched him over to the Fish Creek 24 Vet Hospital... and they gave him an antihistamine and steroids in case he was having an allergic reaction to a vaccine that he'd gotten two weeks ago...  I was really scared... especially after the ordeal and losing Cleo so unexpectedly last month... well after a couple more nights in the hospital with lots of fluids and close care he's fever came down and then stayed down after he was taken off the IV... 


We brought him home last night... He's been shaved to bits... his arm... his belly... his neck... He's not 100% back to himself yet which still has me worried... but he's been coming downstairs off and on and he's eating well since he's gotten home so I'm sure he'll come around after he's finished all of his medication... we're probably irritating him with kisses and snuggles... once he's feeling better I'll get some photos of his velvety tum... 


They sent him home with liquid medicine that he needs twice a day and then two and a half pills twice a day... OMG... the pills are huge and quite a chore to get into him... we picked up some pill pockets today at our normal vet... fingers crossed that those will for his next dose...  do you have any advice for getting large pills into a cat?..

We've Adopted...

Feathering My Nest has moved!... come check all of this out over at www.featheringmynest.ca/blog

Since losing our sweet little fur baby we've all been in a funk... even Milo has been out of sorts...  My moping was out of control... and my heart was missing love from a sweet little one... After Chris's suggestion that we just go "take a look" we ended up adopting a sweet little rescue... the hole left when we lost Cleo will never be filled... but the love coming from this little thing is helping with the healing...


The first couple of days were a little rough... she came with an eye infection... and had to wear a cone for a little bit... and Milo wasn't too impressed about the situation... but now her eye has healed up... they've been both checked over by the vet and Milo is warming up... and he's even beginning to play a little more...


This sweet little creature has come from Whisker Rescue... all of the ladies that we've met and I've talked with since have been so nice and helpful... they are very lovely and caring...  This little fur monkey's name is Tinny... she's quite the little miss... and quite a crazy little kitten...  we got her name from Republic of Doyle... she came with the name Skittles... but she just didn't look like a skittles...

If you're thinking about bringing home a pet please go check out your local rescue centre...
