I think Dr. Lee was simply stating the difference between dogs and cats. Having been "owned" by both , I know what he meant and I didn't take offense. As I said before, he isn't exactly the warm and fuzzy type. But he's got the instinct and the knowledge and that's so important.

Puddy and I had a good night. Yay! When I got home from work, she was quiet but sitting in the praying position and that had me concerned, so I watched her closely. She slept w/me again and she slept soundly, stopping to munch a little through the night. I didn't give her the nausea med because she didn't seem to need it. I worry that so much in her stomach when she wasn't eating right would just make her more nauseated. This morning she seems to be on a mission to get the world record for the longest noggin noogie.

Hi again
I must go to bed soon but just before I do...zzzzzzzzzzz...ooh sorry dozed off there...have you thought of using a natural remedy for nausea rather than adding another chemical for her liver to have to detox (thus adding to the nausea, = vicious cycle) Another thing I did for Cleo is I took her to a separate homeoepathic vet for something to support her body systems through all the medication (which will now be for the rest of her life). It was a full consult with the vet, she's a traditional vet as well as a homoeopathic one, and she prescribed nux vomica for nausea (quite commonly used for this in humans) and general systemic support, and another remedy as her constitutional remedy (her "personality/general constitution" blueprint remedy) I don't know if you know much about homoeopathy but it is brilliant. Very gentle yet very powerful. Colette was having one of her chuck-up days the other week and I gave her some of the nux vomica and it seemed to help.
Another thing to try would be Bach Rescue Remedy - it's an English thing but is available worldwide. You can get it in a little spray so you can just dab some on her fur and it will be effective. Very effective stuff.
I really must sleep now I've done 44 hours and it's still only Thursday. Day off tomorrow (thank the Lord) TC
