Cats who teach me to fly…

Shine hasn’t been eating. I knew that there may be some problem with his mouth. I brought all kinds of soft food for him. Hoping that he was able to eat while enduring the pain. I thought to myself, perhaps a trip to the dentist would solve the problem but when? So day after day, I was hoping that Shine’s problem would go away. However, he stopped eating most of the time and there were days I got worried when he didn’t appear. Finally, it was beginning of the month again and I decided to bring him to the vet.

A dental scaling was done but the whole thing has got nothing to do with his teeth. His teeth are good. Shine is suffering from stomatitis actually. Just like Sunshine, it is awfully painful and due to the enormous pain, many cats refused to eat. Shine is no exception!

I fed him with plenty of ice water a while ago and he managed to eat 3/4 can of wet food by himself. The last time he ate by himself was 3 days ago. Most of the time I have to force feed him.

I bought silver for him. And that’s my last resort. I really can’t think of anything better to solve his stomatitis. Even extracting all his teeth may not solve his problem.

What I am going to do tomorrow is to place the silver in the fridge and let Shine has it cold. I really hope silver could work for him.

Oreo is another one that I have delayed the treatment. Her backside was stained with urine but she was able to eat well, therefore, I would just have to wait for the right time. For Oreo, we have decided to raise fund. So I posted on Facebook asking for help and I received a lot of negative comments. Comments that were distasteful!

Last night, Oreo was back from the hospital. She is not easy to manage. I had to cover her cage with towel. She meows loudly at night. Good thing is, she takes her medicine and I am able to apply cream on her butt.

With these 2 cats, my morning is longer and stretched to afternoon. When Oreo was examined by the vet, 2 maggots were found on her matted fur. Luckily there isn’t any open wound. It is just a matter of time actually…

Oreo looks better. We will release Oreo once she has completed her antibiotics and her butt is no longer swollen. As for Shine, I think he is going to stay with us a little longer.
