not sure why i'm writing this....
grumpy is suffering /recovering from yet another bout of cystitis...... this time, no blood, but he has a partial blockage and an infection. He struggles to pee in the litter tray..... and is instead peeing .... well everywhere else. yesterday I had to do a rugby dive to try to catch the stream in my two hands.... (the things we do eh?)
he is on antibiotics, and these other drugs to help "relax things" and make it easier for him to go.
I really hope this is temporary..... otherwise it will be the final sleep for him (gawd i feel like a bitch).
I keep thinking of the frog in the slowly boiling water...... not sure if the frog is grumpy or me.
first it was :
he is happy, just give him some metacam for his artritis
he is happy, ok, just give him some vidalta for his thyroid
he is happy, but he should have blood pressure meds..
he is losing his hearing but he is still happy
ok, he is almost blind now but he is still telling you off for giving him the wrong pet food.
ok he is happy but he needs these pills for his kidneys now....
ok he is fine, but you should keep him on cystifan for his bouts of cystitis.
....
he is almost 20 bless him. 5 more days of antibiotics to see if he can recover.... 5 more days of following him round the house to ensure he only falls asleep on at least 2 towels. (he pees immediatley after waking up.....
5 more days of knowing if it is safe to buy a new mattress..... and have the duvet laundered..... and possibly rent a carpet cleaner....
he is not squeaking, so is down but not in pain or distress. but not perky either. he was his happy self on saturday.
