once for the kitteh, once for the tail, once for the couch & once more for the lovely photo. It's a study in texture is that.

Yes, my last attempt to pill Sonic did NOT go well -fortunately my vet suggested easypill squishy stuff which worked out better - at least until he got the rampant shits from the antibiotics (he is still on expensive gastro-intestinal prescription food following that, starting to wean him off it back onto his regular diet).
He has to go to the vet hospital in just a few hours for a CT scan- 2 courses of different antibiotics have failed to clear up his chronic nasal congestion/sneezing, and a culture grown over a few days from a nasal swab just showed large quantities of a bacteria that is usually up cats noses - so the bacterial load was most likely because of inflammation rather than the cause of any infection. It also was killed by every antibiotic they exposed it to, so the fact he had 2 courses of antibiotics prior to the nasal swab/culture and they didn't clear it up, means something else is going on.
I just hope it is something that is easily treatable - he isn't massively ill, just very very snotty, and has been that way for a while. We got insurance pre-approval for the scans and any further treatment, due to his age we will have to pay a small percentage of the bill on top of the excess, but the amount that PetPlan have shelled out in claims over the last couple of years for our ageing cats I really can't complain, they have been pretty awesome tbh.

Cool people die horrible, preventable deaths.
So it's been over two weeks that Rollo has been missing. We've done everything we can: posters, flyers through 500 letterboxes in all the roads around us, contacted every vet and animal shelter in the area. Talked to loads of our neighbours. Not one sighting.
It's not knowing and the tiny glimmer of hope because he went missing for 8 days once that is, frankly, killing us. I feel so miserable. Guess I'm going throught the depression/acceptance phase; he's probably not coming back. Which means he's probably dead and I can only hope it was quick.
Bye mate. You were the best, most affectionate pet anyone could want for. I miss your chatter, I miss your weight on my chest, I even miss being woken up by you flexing your claws in the palm of my hand. MrsSt8 misses you even more, because you'd been her companion through so much. I'd give anything to get you back.

fucthest8 - sorry to hear about your missing kitty
Well Sonic went to the vet on Wednesday morning for a CT scan and rhinoscopy (widget up the nose thing). There were no visible masses which is good, lots of mucus/discharge (which is abnormal, but why he was there in the first place, so not unexpected), but also no immediate answers. Some tissue biopsies from nasal passages, sinus cavity, and throat were taken and have been sent to the lab. He was still out of it (although doing ok, just still unconscious and in the recovery room) at 6pm so was kept in overnight to be monitored while he came out of the anaesthetic. He came home Thursday evening, he has eaten and had something to drink. He's getting some bloody mucus from his nose, which we were told to expect.
It is now just a case of waiting for lab results.

Thanks Epona (and everyone else). Sorry to hear Sonic is still going through it, still, good to see you're getting the most out of your pet insurance, IYSWIM i.e. good to see an insurer getting rinsed, not the reasons for it.
