Diego going to vet

[cassiesmom]

Fingers and paws crossed that this will help. ((((HUGS))))) for Diego, Cali and QofP.

So do you suppose Diego wore himself out at the vet last night? He's been napping pretty much all day. Cali has been laying out in the open on the floor. I wonder if this is residual effects of his being sedated last night or maybe the combination of that and using up all his energy fighting, growling, etc.

Still waiting for the call on the blood work.

It's kind of like old times, before the fire scare, peaceful, good kitties. Will see how long it lasts.

The peace lasted till 7 pm last night. At least they settled and let me sleep for a little while however, I've been up since 2:30 this morning trying to keep Diego from attacking Cali. I'm trying not to get mad at Diego cause I know it will solve nothing, but I'm tired from lack of sleep. We can't get the prozac quick enough.

I'm sorry to hear this. Is there any way you can keep them separated until he can be started on the prozac? When I tried it on Storm, I was told that it might take a while but it seemed to help calm him pretty quickly. Over time though, it just made him sleep all of the time and then he also became anorexic so I had to stop giving it to him. The vet said that sometimes this will be side effect but usually only dogs sometimes become anorexic. Good luck.

Cali's got another owie in her armpit so she's back on antibiotics and is sporting the conehead again. When I picked up the meds I got a cone for Diego too. He's test driving it now. He does not like it one bit, but he is so focused on it that he's totally ignorning Cali. Since she'll be sporting a party hat for the next couple of weeks I figure he can too. That will give his meds time to start working and won't leave Cali vulnerable to his attack when I'm at work and she is unable to fight back due to her conehead.

I hope Cali heals soon and that the meds will work wonders for Diego.

Good boy, Diego - just focus on that cone!

hugs and kissies to your babies.

Picked up Diego's prozac after work. He's had his first dose. It sure smells like tuna. Cali tried to lick his face and was looking at me like hey lady, where's mine!

He did not want to take the liquid meds so I used the medicate a ferret tactic and it worked just fine. Sit him on my knee, scruff his neck fur and insert syringe into side of mouth.

Hopefully he gets to like the taste and it's not a struggle.
