She's fine in her self but had blood in her poo. Hopefully this won't be to expensive. Hoping I've got the right cat! It's an educated guess that it's her and not Snorg!

Hoping you have the right cat and it’s a simple fix. Keeping everything crossed.

Toddlerteaplease · 18/10/2021 18:56

I'm pretty sure it's her. Magics bum is too clean. I checked Confused

Oh lord. I hope it’s something minor.

AlfonsoTheDinosaur · 18/10/2021 18:58

Fingers crossed.

Mild colitis probably caused by stress. I had the decorator in on Friday to paint my nee kitchen and bedroom and she was confined to one room for the day. She wasn't overly happy about it and the house still smells of paint. Had a shot of steroid and has some paste to calm it all down.

You’ll be using the cattery until the paint smells gone in future won’t you 🙂

Toddlerteaplease · 18/10/2021 19:44

Ha ha yes! She is normally very chilled out. So I'm surprised. But she really wasn't happy about the whole thing. The decorator changed the date as they had a cancellation. So I think getting home from the cattery and having that a day later as a bit much.
She is not at all keen on the kaolin paste!

She's currently sitting on the hall mat having a massive sulk!

She’s had a hard day there.

Elieza · 18/10/2021 20:48

Wee soul. Hopefully she will be back to her usual self soon.

Toddlerteaplease · 18/10/2021 21:01

She's just come and sat next to me. So I think I'm forgiven.

Wolfiefan · 18/10/2021 21:02

I’m so pleased it was straightforward. And that you took the right cat!
Hoping you are forgiven and she isn’t lulling you into a false sense of security before exacting her revenge!

Want2beme · 18/10/2021 21:35

She's keeping you on your toes. So glad she's home with you and not too unwell. She'll probably be very tired now, bless herBrew

Defiantly41 · 18/10/2021 21:40

Aww Cheddar, glad she is going to be ok

Toddlerteaplease · 18/10/2021 22:48

She's showing no signs of being tired! Am I right in thinking that Ollie goes a bit hyper after a dose of steroids?

OP posts:
Toddlerteaplease · 18/10/2021 22:50

I must admit I'm relived it's something straightforward. Makes a change for my lot. I remember a vet laughing and saying that my lot did't get normal things that most cats got!

Mine got very hungry after steroids. For about a week I think.

You may also get cheddar telling you that nobody has given her food for at least a year ….. Grin

They are such liars.

TheLongRider · 19/10/2021 00:24

I'm glad Cheddar is feeling better even if it is just the steroids.

Toddlerteaplease · 19/10/2021 10:08

Struggling to get the kaolin down her as the syringe is too big and stiff to get it in her mouth. Will have to take my life in my hands and try it on my finger!

OP posts:
Fluffycloudland77 · 19/10/2021 10:41

Smear it around her mouth?

Toddlerteaplease · 19/10/2021 10:41

Well that went a little better. She got some of it!

OP posts:
VirgilStarkwell · 19/10/2021 11:10

Ah, bless her! Can we have a pic please?

Toddlerteaplease · 19/10/2021 11:39

Here you are. She was snuggled up with her head on my pillow this morning. It was so cute!
