Brodie went to the vet this morning - I figured that I'd be leaving him for SURGERY this week but we decided to put it off a little longer. Try something else first.

We're going to do a 30 day trial of Hills Z/D and Prednisone . . . try to get him straightened up enough and then if it works - fingers & paws crossed - get him back on dry food.

She said that cats with skin allergies (which Brodie definitely has) have a tendency to be obsessive groomers - which may explain why he's constantly throwing up hair & hairballs.

She's also ordering me an awsome grooming tool. A "furminator"!

I haven't tried to pill him yet - I've never pilled him before . . . wish me luck!

BTW, forgot to mention that he was a HOLY TERROR this morning, me trying to get him into the carrier by myself and then at the vet's office . . . he HATES them!!! LOL

Anyway, let's hope *this* works . . .
