This is Juno and I know he has seen better days. But I also know, deep in my heart that his future is brighter with us now. I took him to see the feline specialist and she said he is old- very old. Hard to say how old because he has no teeth. She has seen worse and she is concerned as I am about the amount of snot pouring out of his nose. We are starting him on zithromax for now and perhaps in two weeks if no clear response, she wants to see about putting him on prednisone (which I hate because of all the side effects) I am also giving him forte flora and L-Lysine in his baby food. He has healthy appetite, trouble walking (but all her cats seem to be a bit wobbly).
I hope in a week to put up another photo of him looking a tad better! Time will tell-
JUNO
Oh and imagine my surprise when I went out this morning to feed the barn sanctuary cats. There is another cat in with them! One of hers and she brought him over without calling or alerting us first! WHO does that? I would say something to her, but she has enough troubles but it really hissed me off she didn’t have the courtesy to tell us first.
she should have let you know but thank God another one is out of her reach and in your caring hands.
One of my kitties is a snot factory too. He doesn’t have a cold or respiratory infection at all – never has. He has polyps in his sinuses that cause his nose to run, frequent sneezing & lots of snoring. It never gets better, but it also never gets worse, so the vets have advised that we leave it untreated because Max is an FIV+ senior with heart issues as well. I hope the medicines cure sweet Juno. Having your face wiped all the time is no fun for a kitty.
Considering what the woman is going through, she may have thought she told you she was bringing an extra cat over. Is there a lock on the sanctuary’s door? It may not be a bad idea in any case, even just a padlock.
Look on the bright side – at least none of the original crew managed to escape while she was adding the new addition. After the problems with the original move, that might count as a plus.
Well both of the sanctuarys are now locked. Not something I wanted to do, but something I deemed necessary under the current circumstances
