Filix Isn't Doing Well
My poor ocicat named after the final approach fix at Gaithersburg is declining quickly again. Today I thought he would be done for, and rushed him to the vet fully expecting them to pull out the blue juice so we could say goodbye. Fortunately, his breathing problem was a head cold and not the lung problem I feared, so we topped him up with fluids, gave him another B12 shot, and he was sent home. Tonight he ate about 2 teaspoons of food, which is better than it was, but definitely not perfect. He's only 7, so this shouldn't be happening so early. For those of you who don't know, poor Filix was the victim of an unscrupulous breeder who didn't care what genetic abnormalities were passed through to the kittens. He has inflammatory bowel disease, which is really awful. He's not ready to give up yet, so I won't either. Think good thoughts his way.
