Minuet has received some anti-biotics for her diarrhea. There wasn’t much else that could be done at this point, considering she was examined on Saturday and everything found to be in order, except, of course, the symptoms that brought her to the hospital. It’s felt that she has an infection. She was given her first dose of medicine this evening; she didn’t like it, and there are nine more doses to go, spread over five days.
One of the side-effects of the medicine may be a loss of appetite. That isn’t what Min needs right now but neither is it a certainty; if it happens, it should last only as long as the anti-biotics do. She did eat well today, and I intend to leave her food with her tonight, which I generally don’t do. She can nibble whenever she feels like it.
I will probably isolate her in the library each day. This will allow me to see what she has left in the litter-boxes and what she has eaten from her bowls, without the interference of certain other animals. I will keep everyone apprised of Madame’s condition.
I'm happy to hear that Min is feeling a little better - at least she is now eating and that's a good sign. Hopefully she will continue to improve once the antibiotic kicks in. Please keep us posted.
ReplyDeletePhew, she is eating! That is one good thing. Antibiotics can also cause runny stools, Hopefully it wont be bad for her.
ReplyDeleteI sure hope she's on the mend.
Poor wee girl . Please give her a pat from me.
ReplyDeleteAh! Bless!x Let's hope the anti~biotics work and she's
ReplyDeleteherself again soon..and..hopefully can at least have
a nibble at some food..!
I am glad she has eaten well and hope the antibiotics don't dull her appetite. I hope she soon starts to improve. She does look well in her photo which is always a good start.
ReplyDeleteYou certainly are taking very good care of her. The best that can be done and we'll just hope that this clears up very quickly for her.
ReplyDeleteCertain other animals? GASP! You can't mean...HECTOR! I so hope this goes well for her. I don't envy your having to give pills to She who doesn't want them! You are brave beyond compare.
ReplyDeleteIf it is an infection, I hope it leaves Minuet quickly! Sending purrs to Minuet.
ReplyDeleteI'm so relieved to hear that she seems better. The one time I had to give a cat antibiotics, it gave the poor guy a terrible case of the runs. I hope that doesn't happen with Minuet; her stomach is bad enough right now. Do her stools still look reddish? That was what concerned me the most.
ReplyDeleteThere was much less red in the last sample I saw. Minuet is locked in the library today, and probably will be each day I am absent this week, so I can tell that what is deposited in the litter-box is hers.
DeleteWe're keeping on purring for the lady to feel better!
ReplyDeleteI hope she has a complete recovery soon.
ReplyDeletewe have a shopping date on friday minuet so I daresay you must be hopefully are and stay that way get better by then because you and I both know the very second the doors open at the handbag store all sounds like swell breaks out and we do not want to miss out on the newest summer trends with hugs from dai$y ♥♥
ReplyDeletePurrayers for Min to continue to improve. Our old boy Blacky is dealing with some similar problems that are probably age-related (plus our boy is FeLeuk & FIV +)
ReplyDeletePurrs to that sweetie gal from us too.
ReplyDeletePurring for Madame to be in tip-top shape quickly!
ReplyDeleteWe're continuing our purrs and prayers for Min!
