This time last week, I had a very sick little Mystic. He was hanging onto life by a thread. He broke my heart and I was falling apart.
7 days later..... he's 100% himself. No slowing him down. I swear I just saw him levitate up onto the bed. He's been running around at 90 miles per hour, chasing and being chased. He's hunting down yucky stink bugs. He's tearing into the bag of food. He's doing everything a nawtee kitty should do. And I couldn't be happier :)
And to give him the twice daily mix of pills? Oh. My. God. It took both hubby and myself to wrangle him last night, hubby holding Mystic's head and body, me prying open the mouth and pushing pills in. Then we re-did it again and again because every pill came back out at least 3 or 4 times before it got smooshed enough that he couldn't spit it out again. Either that, or they were so smooshed that we didn't see pill residue on his black fur :rolleyes:
And Mikey? Mikey LOVES the one pill I should give Mystic. Its a gel cap that if I don't watch, I have to pry it out of Mikey's mouth so I could force it into Mystic's. I keep telling Mystic, "Look, Mikey likes it!" :rolleyes:
I keep telling Mystic that he HAS to take his medicine because that's what is making him all better. He doesn't believe me - he says its all the PT prayers. Thank you all so much. The difference in this boy is amazing. :love:
