Update on Billy


Just a little update for the people who've been so kind in reassuring me about Billy....

This evening he had a handful of finely chopped cooked turkey and a saucer of milk, which is as much as he's had in one sitting all weekend so I'm relieved about that. Fresh food and water are available to him at all times anyway but I just wanted to try and tempt him with the things he really likes

The vet opens at 8:30 in the morning, so if he's not at least 90% better I've decided I'd rather go to the vet and be told its just 'one of those things' that will sort itself in a few days and look like an over-protective mummy than have him feel grotty.

*fingers crossed*

I hope Billy is feeling better soon. We found after Bobby's accident tins of tuna and pilchards persuaded him to eat.

Re: Update on Billy


I'm pleased to report we're on the mend

When I got up this morning (minus LOTS of sleep because I was worried about him) he had a good go at his breakfast but was still looking very fed-up so I decided to make an appointment with the vet - I'd rather look daft than have my boy poorly.

We went at 4 o'clock and while we were waiting, Billy decided to groom himself which is always a good sign and generally looked more perky. Typical!

The vet we saw was new to me but extremely nice, and a cat person to-boot. She took his temperature, listened to his heart and lungs and checked his mouth, and everything was normal.

It turns out he had his 3-yearly Leukaemia jab this time so the vet thinks maybe it coincided with his immune system being at its' peak and it reacted to the vaccine, so she's going to report the reaction to the manufacturer. She said that she could give him something to calm his immune system down, but if it was her cat then she'd be inclined to leave it alone and keep a careful eye on him which was good enough for me.

So what does he do when we get home? Marches out of the box, tells my mum all about the indignity of having your temperature taken then wallops his food down!! Does he realise I've practically had a nervous breakdown this weekend!?

That's my boy
