Just a Cat - Not to Me! (09.13.06)

My oldest cat is only 6 years old, but he's had some issues in our four years together. If I would leave him for too long (about a week and a half) he'd get so stressed, he would make himself sick. This pattern of illness when stress continued and we finally found he has FUS. Well, he's been stressed this last month or two since I moved to OR and haven't unpacked. I noticed he'd been having problems for about 2 weeks, so he went to the vet again (his auntie took him for me). I get home to see how he's doing – to find that he's on 5 different medications a day! Poor guy has to have mom cram two pills a day down his throat and two liquids that have the powder from another pill in it. One of the pills is just an antibiotic, so it'll only be 5 days. One of them is twice a day. And I'm not sure about the pain meds. One of the things he gets to take is Amitriptyline to help reduce anxiety. Oh – and I have to start thinking about feeding him a special diet too. I'll get to talk to the vet about that more on Friday when Kegan and Princess go in.
