The one with Day 45: Peaches Sick Again

Day 45: Peaches Sick Again

I'm a little behind on posting my photos-of-the-day on Flickr (I'm only posting the most noteworthy ones here) for two reasons. One is that I started a new part-time job in the photography studio of a friend - it's only two days a week and something I'm doing alongside my usual web development work, but it's a lot of fun. However, it's also tiring and somehow has really cut into my online time. The second reason is that poor Peaches is sick again. She hasn't used the kitty litter for anything other than pee in about a week. I took her to the vet on Tuesday because she was acting weird too, very clingy, and the vet gave her laxatives. It hasn't helped though, and I'm bringing her in tomorrow, possibly for more drastic measures like an enema. We're not sure what caused this - though the vet has diagnosed her with Pica (she eats stuff she's not supposed to, like kitty litter and plastic) and it's possible she ate something that she can't pass. It's also possible this is related to worms again, which she had badly as a kitten. They might be back and causing havoc here...I hope to know more tomorrow. Poor Peaches. She was positively shaking in my arms on Tuesday at the vets. :(

Oh dear, poor kitty! That certainly does not sound good. :(

My cat had worms quite bad when she was a kitten too, and it was just horrible! Poop everywhere! Yuck.

She also hasn’t been too well recently, pooping everywhere but the litter tray, vomiting etc. Unfortunately, she’s not strictly ‘mine’ and so it’s not my place to take her to the vets etc.

Sounds like you may be like me (positively in love with cats!) and for yours and Peaches’ sakes, I hope she gets better soon.

Just in case you may be curious, my kitty is this one: http://flickr.com/photos/hooofooey/tags/dita/

I had a dog named Peaches. Hope your kitty feels better.
