Sickly babies....

First off....it looks like Misaki is going to be joining our family. He's keeping his brother Pipsqueak out of trouble, and entertained....YEAH my other cats are SO relieved:


DeeJay has been excessively grumpy lately, normally she is grumpy when she needs her anal glands expressed but something else was going on. She had a lump by her chin so I took her to work with me yesterday, it's an infection, since DeeJay is a pill to medicate she got a shot of long acting (5 day) penicillin. Then my dad checked her bladder (she has Interstitial Cystitis) and it was fine but he noticed he was full of crap...literally, so DeeJay is constipated which is why she's probably being grumpy....so we attempted to give her some laxatone....YAH that was a nightmare...picking up some pumpkin and mineral oil tomorrow.

Then Munchie Roodles did something to his eye last night he couldn't hardly open it, and he is breathing 'raspyish', well his eye has a small scratch on it (probably from wrestling with Misaki), and his breathing is raspy (loud) but not in his lungs but his throat, he's had it for a long time, he thinks that he has a developmental issue with his trachea, so we are going to watch him, if it causes problems for him we will check into it further. He may have collapsing trachea as occassionally he will lower his head to the ground (flat) and cough for a few seconds, sometimes I have to rub his throat to get him to stop. You can kind of see his eye in the left in the picture below, Mini Dee is on the side of him, that's her latest accomplishment....sitting on the back of the couch...yesterday she had us LOL'ing as she dang near jumped over the ENTIRE couch from the floor...YES she puts THAT much umph behind her jumps....

And Munchie says Mommy's tired....time for bed:
