    Mixed emotions.....controlling one medical problem simply to find another medical problem. But after 17 years I guess a body can't work perfectly. Here's hoping that she can remain comfortable for a long time.

    Thank you, Jen. Your support is important and much appreciated at this time, as I struggle to find acceptance.

    I'm glad she's being good about the pills.

    It may be easier to dissolve the Norvasc into a volume of water and take 1/8th of that. Ask your vet if the water solution will keep (maybe in the fridge?)

    Hugs for you and Cleo! I hope she continues to do well.

    Thanks for that idea, I suppose it depends on the chemical stability of the drug. What a great idea though, she's even better with a syringe.

    Thanks for the hugs too, we need them.

    I am sorry that Cleo isn't doing better, but I hope you will be able to control with medicines and that you will share many, many more happy years together.

    We're hoping so too.

    I may have missed some previous threads about Cleo because I didn't even know that she was sick. I'm so sorry to hear this. Hopefully the medicine will help make her more comfortable so she can continue to share many more years with you. Please take care. (((HUGS)))
