Well, Friday's congestion has increased, so the vet has prescribed "Predoral" (sp?) which they said should clear up her congestion in 2 days, and if it hadn't, to call them immediately. They said it was an anti-inflammatory. I must be spelling it wrong, because I can't find any references to it anywhere. Currently she's taking .4mg Trimethoprim sulfa 2x/day and .1mg prednisone 2x/day. The congestion problems have gotten to the point, however, where she clearly has problems breathing occasionally and needs to 'clear the pipes' in a nasty ugly fit of hacking before she can eat or walk around. Anyway, Friday's mobility has increased and she's now moving around a bit better. I'm feeding her some duck soup twice a day (ensure/pedialyte/turkey gerbers/iams kitten) and she's gulping that down in addition to her normal food. I believe she still may be losing weight; as of April last year she was 800g and now she's 600g according to my scale (which might be inaccurate!). She's still only getting two play periods a day, and occasionally I'll lock her up after an hour and let the other two continue at it, as they're locked up with her all day. Noodle's a joy. Twice yesterday I knelt down to get something for Friday or to sit and watch her and each time he crawled into my sweater and curled up to try to fall asleep. Opportunist. Last bit of news: I have a new WWW page up at http://www.us.itd.umich.edu/~squirty and I think I have it correctly tested for MSIE, Netscape 2/3, lynx, and Mosaic, although it's horribly ugly on Mosaic. From http://www.us.itd.umich.edu/~squirty/hp/pets/index.html you can get to http://www.us.itd.umich.edu/~squirty/hp/pets/recipe.html which is the Duck Soup page I said I was collecting recipes for. If those URLs are wrong, bonk me on the head. :) I'm still collecting recipes - please mail them to me!! And any suggestions or corrections any of you have to offer, they will be considered, made, and appreciated.
