Suki update

Well, after another couple of hundreds worth at the vets, miss Suki now appears to be on the mend again. It seems we were a bit premature in thinking her better last week, she seemed to have stopped eating again and when I took her to the vets on Saturday she had lost a further .2kg, bringing her down to a bony 3.8kg total. After a couple of days more of antibiotic shots she is eating again, only a tiny amount, but she seems to be eating slightly more each day, and to be wanting it more.

We've been shutting Suki in the bathroom with food a couple of times a day so that a) she could get to it before Sumi, who is now almost twice Suki's size and weight and very pushy when it comes to food, and b) so that we could see how much she is actually eating. We tried her on whiskers mince today, at mums suggestion, which she seemed to really like, so we'll switch to that one for a while and she how she goes. She's only been wanting mooshed up whiskers casserole in gravy up until now.

which did you try? the chicken mince or the beef?

the beef, she's still just licking up the gravy/ jelly, but she's being thorough about sorting through the meat to find it

Hey honey. Hope Suki's feeling better. Poor thing :(

On a slightly off-topic note, but pet-related, poor mum accidentally left Emma outside all day last Monday. I had gone off to work, and then class straight after and mum had been out all day from about 9:30 and she got home around 5ish, and yeah, poor Emma was howling and Dawson was trying to explain to mum what had happened! According to mum, he was very concerned.

Will catch up soonies for coffee or something. I haven't seen you in like a month or more. It feels strange!
