Anyway....Lita got to see Dr. L first. Dr. L looked at Lita's teeths to make sure hers is healing nicely after her big surgery. The doctor noticed Lita's stitches were "long" so hers cut them shorter for Lita's comfort. She said Lita is healing up nicely, and everything looks good in hers mouth now!
Dr. L weighed her, and Lita is still 13 pounds. Hers is a little
Then it was mes turn. Dr. L weighed me, and mes weighs 9lb. 12oz. The Mom is pretty sure that I've lost about 3 ounces this month.
As some of yous might recall, mes has been giving the humans a hard time about eating my wet noms. Mes is still giving thems lots of trouble! Mes will eat something once and then turn my nose up at it the second time. The humans are very baffled.
The humans don't know if mes doesn't feel good from the IBD and that's why mes won't eat or mes is depressed. Mes has been spending lots of time in Jewel's old cube. Mes spends hours and hours there sometimes, and it worries the Mom.
The Mom and Dr. L talked about putting me on something called an antidpressant. Me doesn't know what that is, but it doesn't sound fun!
The Mom here. Carmine will go back to the vet in two weeks to see if his intestines feel better. We are still struggling quite a bit to get him to eat his wet food, which is essential for his FLUTD.
Purrring!!!!! Have a nice and healthy week!
ReplyDeleteWe're sending you lots of purrs Carmine and hope you will try and eat more.
ReplyDeleteLuv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
Oh Carmine, I know all about that FLUTD stuff and you gotta eat your wet food pal.
ReplyDeletePoor Carmine. Yeah, wet food, with a little bit of added water would help, if he'd just eat it. What about sprinkling it with FortiFlora? It's a probiotic, which would help with the IBD, I think. Or something similar?
ReplyDeletePurrs to them both!
Also good for IBD: slipper elm.
ReplyDeleteIf you're concerned about it, here's a link to a vet-written article:

Sending lots of healing purrs and wishes!
ReplyDeleteCarmine, it does sound to me like you are depressed, and perhaps that is affecting your digestive health. I have heard that emotions can make humans sick, so it probably can happen to kitties too. I think the vet is probably on the right track with you. Sending purrs.
ReplyDeleteWe're glad to hear that Lita is healing nicely. Carmine, it is important for you t eat, so we hope your appetite is back where it should be very soon.
ReplyDeletePurrs,
The Chans
gys...as all ways, de blessings of R pal frank two de both oh ewe ♥♥
ReplyDeleteI'm purring for you Carmine. We hope you feel better soon and start eating like a good girl again.
ReplyDeleteCarmine, we hope you feel better soon and eat up.
ReplyDeleteHope that soon you will be eating better, Carmine.
ReplyDeletePurrs fur you and hugs to all!
Carmine, you gotta eat your wet foods. They're really important for you. We're glad 'Lita is doing well.
ReplyDeleteCarmine I know how icky the stabby place can be but I also know you need to eat those wet foods so purrrrlease cooperate! I'm going to the vet today to get my thyroid numbers checked again - I've been on my meds for 3 months now and I'm hoping they're working. I don't feel very good though so who knows?!?!?!
ReplyDeleteI am praying for you Carmine, I hope the meds help you. I am glad that your sister is healing well. I am sorry you miss Jewel, losing a loved one is hard.
ReplyDeletecan you try adding some tuna water to his wet food? Not the actual tuna, just the water.....put it on top and that might attract him
ReplyDeleteGlad Lita is doing well after her surgery! Good news. We will keep purring and praying for Carmine :( That's sweet that he spends time in Jewel's cube, but we are sad that he is missing her so much. We hope you get to feeling better emotionally and physically, Carmine buddy!
ReplyDeleteGlad Lita's teeth are healing well more healing purrs headed Carmine's way.
ReplyDeleteGreat news to hear that Lita is healing well. Still purring for Carmine. When one of us won't eat, our Mom sub-Qs us and gives us a lower than normal dose of an appetite stimulant (with the Vet's approval, of course). This usually makes us feel better and we start eating. Hydration is so important. Does your Mom know how to do that? The Vet or the Tech can teach her how--it's not hard, honest! Although our Mom says the first few times will scare the $%&# out of you! But it gets easier the more you do it. Sending more healing purrs...
