I did it! And no eyes were scratched out in the process

I've had to do that... I didn't ever really get used to it but I could see the difference it made. Good on you !!!

Her Vet doesn't quite know what's wrong. Erin has had chronic sinusitis, but it has never affected her intestinal tract before. She's had lab work twice (2 weeks apart) & x-rays, but Dr. E isn't sure. No masses on the x-rays, labs were normal except for an elevated white blood cell count. I think her current sinus infection is secondary to whatever is wrong. Anyway, she didn't improve, so is on a second round of antibiotics, and now the IV fluids.

When I came back today from running errands, she was up and around, wanting to go out to warm up. No evidence in the house of lossing her breakfast, which is a good thing Erin was born in Phoenix, and likes to be WARM. Since she doesn't go far, she's allowed outside eventhough she's sick.

Hopefully she'll have a quiet night as I'm supposed to do a MS training ride (43 miles) tomorrow morning.

Bmmccasland: Hi: Glad your kitty is doing okay. We are having fun times with our old 21 year old cat. He had a mass (non-cancerous) removed from his neck/back area (with only a local) last week. He never even flinched while they did the surgery, but now we are doing all the fun things - like giving him antibiotics which make him sick, and putting coverings on his back foot so he can not scratch his wound and tear the staples out! It is a challenge to get a bandage to stay on that rear foot!!! He hates it real bad and every night he has managed to get it loose or off! What a little brat.

We love him anyway.

Hope the treatments go well for your pretty kitty

Oh, and in response to your post about riding on the San Francisco Peaks. I did exactly that on Saturday. Went up there for 5 hours (which included riding home through town too). It really helped clear the head. It is so beautiful up there. I went up into the ferns and aspens so green and lush right now
