poor ninny

[pywacket]

she has a 'degenerative bone' situation in her left knee (and her hip but that isn't critical yet) She got X-rays and an anti-inflammatory shot and will have cosequin added to her meals, which means she gets fed separately. The pop they heard was a bone spur apparently. We're going to try giving her a bit of tuna each day to take the meds (or something else--I need ideas what could be better for her) because she is the strange cat who doesn't really like wet food. This might be the reason she's been falling over when she shakes her head too. Having Mr. Teatime land on her with his great weight just brought the situation to the forefront. Or she slid on the stairs we don't really know. We'll have to make sure no one romps with our genteel old lady.

Miss Emily was a crabby patty today and last night, not much sleep.

Not much to say either, just worried about miss ninny and trapped under the baby dear.

Oh yeah, I think Emily has really cute toes. Baby toes are very cool.

Sweetie, I'm sorry to hear about your little old girl! Would she take the medicine in cooked rice? My sister does that with her old dog sometimes -- he's like Ninny (and my cat) in that he doesn't like wet food. But the rice somehow soothes him, and seems to mask the meds as necessary.

my mom did the lamb and rice thing....chopped up real lamb bits and cooked and mixed it in with cooked rice...granted it was fro dogs but it may be worth a shot...does Ms Ninny care for any other foods? maybe some sort of cooked meat that you can mix the meds in with?

Im keeping all appendages crossed...i love that wee girl

and Emily does have really cute toes...even if they are half as long as her feet

:)

ok, not that long

*hugs*
