Vet trip today (Kitty & Doggie Stuff)....

I had an appointment at the Vet today for Buddy (our dog). He is having major allergy problems right now with all the pollen and stuff in the air. His skin gets all red & itchy. He started chewing his fur off in patches and nothing we tried here at home was helping him. So Buddy is now on Prednisone & antibiotics. He also has a special shampoo to wash his infected areas. Poor guy! The Vet said the meds should kick in tomorrow and then he will start feeling much better. I also decided to take Tabby today and have he looked over too. She's still not eating like she should and even turned down roast beef & turkey from my sandwich today. That is soooooo not like her at all. Well she has lost almost a pound since the beginning of February. That's not good. Even though she seems to be drinking lots of water she was slightly dehydrated. So she got fluids today and antibiotics just incase it is something to do with her liver. They also took some blood to run another wellness profile on her and see if that will tell what's going on with her. We'll find out about the blood work Monday. I’m worried, I hope it’s nothing serious!

Dear Carrie, sending you all best wishes and positive thoughts for your beloved furry friends! We had a kitty girl who had the same problem like your Tabby (hyprthyroidism) and a heart disease too. It was really hard to make her eat and we had to take her to the vet very often. But medicines allowed her a fairly long life... she got almost 18. She was so sweet and special and we miss her very much...

Thank you so much! :) I am so sorry for the loss of your sweet kitty. 18 is a very long life for a kitty. I still miss my kitties that have passed too. It's such a shame they can't live as long as we do :(
