Mark, i did ask Caroline if taking steroid causes runny nose? And she said no.

I hpe Alice runny nose has stoped now, and she is better.

I usually skip that song as I've heard it to many times

Patsy Cline is not that bad, oh you mean you singing

wise clever cat

how many times has she had to endure Crazy

Mark · « **Reply #45 on:** January 08, 2008, 20:32:30 PM »

True, she said anything rather than listen to me singing along with Patsy Cline

Ralph's mum (angie) · « **Reply #44 on:** January 08, 2008, 20:30:53 PM »

why would she want to come down and sit with you when she has all she needs in peace and quite where she is

Mark · « **Reply #43 on:** January 08, 2008, 20:28:28 PM »

It's for her - It's too hot up there for me but I don't want her to get cold. She has her own bedroom and ensuite

When she is a bit better, She will be given free reign of the house but at the moment, If I bring her down she just goes back up there

It can't be the room as it's kept at about 25 degrees 24/7

was that for you or the cat

Mark · « **Reply #41 on:** January 08, 2008, 19:45:36 PM »

Thanks

I will keep an eye. I just hope she hasn't caught anything at the vets

Mark,the reason it disappeared cos i still get the quote part wrong and sometimes my post comes with the quote

so i did it again.

I am seeing Caroline the vet tomorrow and she is going to start steroid treatment for Boy, i will ask her if they give runny nose to cats?

Now the problem is the pills - why couldn't they give me 2.5mg pills instead of 5mg? - So I have to decide. Big half or little half

Are preds bitter? - I have hidden it in the food and hope she eats it.

Depends how fussy the cat is, taffy tried preds and i crushed them in his food and he never noticed

She is a big purr ball today and stopping me getting on

Would you have it any other way, I dont think so

you love it really, dont know about the steroids but Max tends to do the dribble thing when sleeping

Mark · « **Reply #35 on:** January 08, 2008, 16:09:37 PM »

She is a big purr ball today and stopping me getting on

I am now off to the co-op as she is only interested in Whiskas at the moment and none of the dozens of other things I already have

She is getting braver by the minute and even waited while I did the tray to jump straight in to dirty it again

Can steroids give cats a runny nose? - She was asleep on me and had a big dewdrop hanging

Ralph's mum (angie) · « **Reply #34 on:** January 08, 2008, 16:01:42 PM »

Mark how is Alice today, hope you are both well

Felix (Caroline) · « **Reply #33 on:** January 08, 2008, 14:39:52 PM »

Just caught up with this post so glad that the scan was ok, give her a big hug from me and my gang xx

Kittybabe (Ruth) · « **Reply #32 on:** January 08, 2008, 12:57:10 PM »

Gotta love this lady, she's so scrummy

Mark · « **Reply #31 on:** January 08, 2008, 12:35:29 PM »

I wondered what happened - your post disappeared then came back

Maybe we should "rattle their cage" when they are playing up

Not that Alice plays up

They were saying they will try to shave her without a sedative to see how she goes and I told them she would never scratch or bite

pappilon · « **Reply #30 on:** January 08, 2008, 12:28:44 PM »

I think being affectionate and sweet is a way of saying we are really good, so dont take us back :Luv:When i brought Phoebe homeshe was so nice i even pickd her up, but it didnt last long and back to her self again.

I do hope the steroids work for Alice,she is such a lovely girl.

Mark · « **Reply #29 on:** January 08, 2008, 08:26:38 AM »

Thanks everyone

It's a relief but we still need to sort her out - I am just hoping the steroids work

She is more affectionate than ever - She must have thought I had abandoned her

So glad to hear that Alice does not have the big "C" Mark, you must be elated!

blackcat · « **Reply #25 on:** January 07, 2008, 20:04:20 PM »

lol Mark!!! you can borrow mine if you like

I am working from home this thursday so you can just pop up the road

Mark · « **Reply #24 on:** January 07, 2008, 20:02:52 PM »

Thanks BC

They will probably need to "get the supervisor"

I bought some cat litter and some rizla in the co-op earlier. The guy serving me who was about 17 had to get a supervisor to swipe a card to sell me the rizla

blackcat · « **Reply #23 on:** January 07, 2008, 20:00:33 PM »

get yourself a pill cutter, they should be available from the local pharmacy for a pound or so - no pet-friendly home should be without one. They cut the pill precisely down the middle and so you no longer have to make a decision ...

Glad the ultrasound didnt pick anything up

Mark · « **Reply #15 on:** January 07, 2008, 16:54:37 PM »

I laid down on the bed up there and she came for a cuddle. She is more affectionate than ever and looks even cuter with her shaved belly & neck

She has had 1/2 tin and no vomiting so will let her sleep her ordeal off - I think it's food in jelly that makes her sick so sticking to the gravy ones for a while.

Dawn F · « **Reply #14 on:** January 07, 2008, 15:10:13 PM »

oh Mark she must be starving, I'm so glad this has worked out, she deserves a break (and a blue plaque!!)

Mark · « **Reply #13 on:** January 07, 2008, 15:07:54 PM »

Anyway, she ran straight up to her room and hid under the bed - for all of 10 seconds until I wafted her Whiskas chicken in gravy - she shot out like lightning and is devouring it

Dawn F · « **Reply #12 on:** January 07, 2008, 15:03:53 PM »

brilliant news!!!!!!

Mark · « **Reply #11 on:** January 07, 2008, 14:58:57 PM »

Just had my lunch put in front of me (pub lunch with Sharon today

- no booze though

) when the vet called. No sign of any tumour

. Her white blood cells have raised enzyme levels in line with a having parasites - he said it is unlikely she has worms given the number of treatments she has had. Nevertheless, he wormed her again. It doesn't explain her hard swollen belly but he thinks her bowel is inflamed. He has prescribed preds. 1/2 tab twice a day for 4 days, followed by 1/2 tab once a day for another 4 days. If she doesn't respond, he will send off a fecal sample to the lab. He said her kidney readings were higher than the last time and borderline CRF. I told him she threw up all her breakfast this morning and he said that will probably explain the dehydration.

So fingers crossed - at least we know she doesn't have cancer

Good luck Alice, thinking of you today.
