My poor cat Bella has been looking a bit under the weather since late Thursday and quite quiet. By Saturday she really seemed to be staggering around, and also seems to have lost weight (nearly a kg) and condition, although actually seemed much happier in herself. The vet has said that she thinks Bella may have a slipped disc! This is apparently quite rare in cats. Bella has taken to launching herself from the cat scratching post in the kitchen onto the worktops in recent weeks, so it is entirely possible she has slipped whilst "flying". Poor Bella. She has had some anti-inflammatories and already seems much more with it, but it's early days and I need to take her back to the vets in a week and then we will decide on more long term treatment.
I took a couple of photos of her at the vets - the children wanted to come too, as they worship Bella and she was very happy to have their company too. She was so good in the car and so placid and sweet at the vets. She really is a very sweet cat and I really hope she isn't in any pain.
Hey Bud, I hope Bella is feeling better? Pats to her and hugs to you. xxx
ReplyDeleteThanks Dancin! She went to the vets again tonight (Monday) and she is going to stay on the anti-inflammatories a while longer and just see how she gets on - at the moment she is much brighter and back to her old self really, albeit with a bit of wobbling occasionally in her back legs. Much better though! Phew! Thanks for asking after her. Can't wait for you to come and meet my two pusscats, they are both mad! xxx
ReplyDeleteHey Bud! Glad to hear Bella is felling a little better, poorly pets is such a worry. We can't wait to meet them too. I love cats and if our two would not terrorise them I would have some. See you very soon! xxx
