Once again, I had to take Pidge back to the vets. This time, they kept him for three days and it turns out that he has suffered soft tissue damage from his last injury. His urine is so full of blood that they have increased his pain meds and put on board another anti-inflammatory to help with the pain. He is also on a new diet of Hills C/D care both dry and wet.

As of yesterday, he has quit vocalizing as much as before so I am hoping the pain he feels when he tries to urinate is on the run. No pun intended. I have to feed all three of them the prescription diet, but since Baker is also in kidney failure, the new food should help him as well. We had just gotten our vet bill under control- but that rug has slipped out from under us and we are once again looking at a vet bill that almost tops $1,000.00 They did a lot for Pidge in the days they had him. I just pray it makes a difference for him to get out of pain.

The burn kitties are slowly relaxing a bit. I have had to change up the routine for them as Molly is still resistant to them being here. During the day, she will refuse to come in the house and spends the majority of time on the heated arm chair in the carport. At night, she will come in and I close off the kittens into the bedroom/patio area and let Molly have the front half of the house all to herself. It’s not ideal, but until she can adjust to them being here without bluff charging them, it will have to do.
