You can never have enough...

Well, if you have ever seen a cat stoned on morphine, it is a sight to behold. Huge black eyes, lol. Without expensive imaging, all they can tell me is she has some bone spurs that might indicate injury to her lower spine and tail bones  and might be impinging on her nerves in the area. Very like sciatic nerve pain according to the senior vet who reviewed the xrays. Long term anti inflammatories, to be reviewed, but no surgical intervention necessary. With the morphine on board she is walking normally, and has demolished two sachets of her preferred wet food, and is head bumping all her favourite things, like my canister of pens and the legs of furniture. And me.

Apparently the daily med is so tasty - and in liquid form, that cats have been known to beg for more. Uh huh. We'll see...

That'll be $538 thank you very much. Uh huh, here's $250, pay day is in two more weeks, lol. Lovely when the vets know I'm good for it!!

She's having a wonderful time, & feeling better so all good. Not quite so much for the human's bank balance - but it could have been worse.


The sun has deigned to appear now & then, & Madame le Dog's flea treatment at vet's has been replaced by a different one, not the drops to put on back of neck but a pill to swallow. I did ask about taste & was assured that all dogs love it. We'll see.

The very welcome bonus was that its a good bit cheaper than the one we'd been using so fingers crossed she likes it. She better had if she knows what's good for her...
