Well, Lily went back to the vet this week for a re-check of her rear end. I won't go into the details (as my mom would have said, "It's not dinner table conversation") but suffice it to say something is not right. In spite of this problem, she's FELINE good and continues to be active as I've reported in recent posts!
I love how she's got her teeth around the bar of her carrier here!
I took her to the vet three weeks ago for this same issue and she was prescribed a 10-day course of predisone. The tablets are liver flavored which means she gobbled them up with gusto! But after 10 days, the problem persisted so back to the vet she went.
This time, she got a high-powered predisone shot which should correct the problem within a 10 days or so. If that doesn't happen, she'll go back and they'll try something else. I have no idea what that "something else" might be.
The great thing is that this week, she didn't have to be sedated for her visit. It's been YEARS since she's been at the vet without sedation, so I was very proud of her! Nevertheless, she was quite happy to be home and especially thrilled that our return coincided with her 3pm food drop from the automatic feeder.
So we're continuing on and doing fine...just want this little problem to be resolved! Hope everyone has a happy Feline Friday and a great weekend! Stay safe out there, kitties and humans!
