Today, with me at work, Kaz got lumbered with the job that all pet owners dread, taking their pet on a one way trip to the Vet.
Our 13 year old cat, Dizzy, has been unwell for a week or two now. The treatment of steroids didn’t help him and he could only drink and lay around the last day or so.
This video of a cat that plays piano helped a bit today…

Dizzy is struggling now, he’s not eating much after two days of Steroids and is just sitting about. He doesn’t even look comfortable, the way cats are masters at looking.
It seems the blood test didn’t really reveal anything out of the ordinary considering his symptoms. Of course this could mean he has a tumour! After a chat with the Vet, we’ve decided to try him on a course of Steroids, in case his just has an infection of some sort in his gut or intestines.
We had to take our cat, Dizzy, to the Vets today. Using a chart on the wall at the Vets it looks like Dizzy is the human equivalent of about 70 years old, about 13 to 14 in our years.
He’s been eating and drinking excessively for a few days and has diahorea. He’s also lots weight, not good signs.
He’s had a blood test and tomorrow we should get phone call with the results. Fingers crossed.
