Cleo had a visit with the vet today. She weighs 11.6 lbs. and is a bit anemic - hopefully because of fleas which we've had trouble getting under control. There is a pill that would kill all the fleas but one of the side effects is seizures - not good in a cat with seizures! Anyway, she had another bath, I've been washing her blanket and the towels used in her bath and tomorrow she can have Advantage. The dr. was concerned that her phenobarb levels might be a bit off as she's still unsteady on her feet. The blood tests will be in tomorrow (along with a test for thyroid problems). She's eating, drinking, using the potty and sleeping. She's also got new vitamins to take twice a day.
I just feel so bad for her - it's not far from what her life was before but to see her struggle with walking is difficult. I hope we can get this under some kind of control and give her (and me) a good quality of life. If B wasn't home, there'd be almost no way for me to get away for more than a few hours (now doesn't that sound selfish?).
She's being so sweet about everything . . .
