A few weeks ago I posted that the
cats went to the doctors. Yesterday they went back for a check up and for a distemper booster. They
did great, as usual. They climbed all over each other while in the carrier. But once they got out they were good. One stayed on the exam table while the other stayed in the carrier.
The vet checked Star first for her heart murmur. To my surprise it was gone! YAY! She said it is probably stress related and that every check up we should be sure to listen for it. She also has lost some weight about 5oz in 3 weeks. The Doctor's not to worried about it but she wants me to weigh her every week to get a baseline and if there are any changes to call her about it.

But my trouble child seems to be Miss. Cookie Dough who has been
vomiting digested foods more than usual lately. Unfortunately for us
their is a whole list of things that could be causing her to do that, so
Dr. Natalie wants to put her on a 'sensitive stomach' diet to see if
that will help. The Meow Mix they have been getting is, according to the
Doc, like 'pizza and burgers to us'. Which is not good. So, we came
home with special vet formula wet food. Now I need to go to the pet
store to buy her food because I gave her the new food last night and
she's not to impressed with it. My girls are such picky eaters. It took
us forever to find the kind of wet food Star likes and now I have to
worry about one eating the others food. But for the visit Cookie Dough was hamming it up because she thinks she's super cute. Well I guess she is!

Poor Cookie!
ReplyDeleteTheir expressions are great!
ReplyDeletePoor Cookie Dough, it's so tough when they have food issues. Our weird cats haven't liked any of the wet food we've tried, so they're all on the same dry food. Everyone was throwing up both kinds of prescription food that we tried for Serena's kidney issues. We found a limited ingredient dry food that seems to be pretty good for everyone so far.
It's funny to see that our pets are kind of like us in the way that not everyone likes to eat the same thing. But my trouble is that Cookie Dough likes to eat Star's food. So they must be separated during meals.
