Something About The Current Situation

4/18/20 – Ambrose Butterbutt is now back to “normal” and has licked his bladder infection.

4/16/16 – Ambrose Butterbutt running around the house crying and trying to urinate everywhere, an obvious sign of a bladder infection so it’s off to the vet we go. After some tests, humiliations and various indignities, Ambrose gets a super special antibiotic injection.

04/10/2016 – Fluffy, mom’s cat is having even more cardiac episodes at this point. Obviously, she’s not going to wait until the specialist can see Fluffy so it’s back off to the vet Monday morning.

04/09/2016 – After a full week (7 days), the appetite stimulant lost it’s affect on Ambrose Butterbutt. He spent the whole day wandering around and howling. He hasn’t been this vocal in years. After the application of the appetite stimulant, he ate chicken, ham and some canned cat food. And he stopped howling. Bonus.

04/08/2016 – My mother contacted me this afternoon about her cat, Fluffy who also has thyroid disease. Apparently, Fluffy suffered a heart attack this morning and spent the entire day at the vet’s office and a local specialized pharmacy that compounded some antibiotics. Fluffy now has an appointment with a cardiac specialist – yes, animal cardiologists exist! Thyroid disease in cats affects their cardiovascular system as well as their ability to absorb food in their digestive system. Fluffy also has been sick and is now on an antibiotic.

04/07/2016 – Ambrose is off the hook! Since the stimulant dose, he has been eating everything including the furniture! So far today he’s had steak, chicken, shrimp, canned cat food (2 cans), butter, 3 blueberry muffins, 4 pieces of toast, 2 bagels and a bag of Doritos.

04/03/2016 – Gave Ambrose his first appetite stimulant dose.

04/02/2016 – 16 year old Ambrose Butterbutt had yet another vet appointment today about this thyroid disease which is epidemic in the United States (latest theory is fire retardant in carpets and furniture is ingested when cats clean). He got a brand new appetite stimulant since he doesn’t eat much when he’s on the medication.
