Continued good news from the vet! :)
I just got my morning update.
She is floating MUCH better and is not nearly so front-heavy!!! :):):):)
She poops and passes urates in her float water. :rolleyes:
She is tube fed every other day and tolerates it well.
She has no issues at the injection sites.

Since she's improving, they are going to continue the current treatment and barring anything unusual, she should come home on the 6th!

Yay! Well done Jacques :)

And the Vets’ Greatest Fear? (Cesur was :eek: )
YES!!!! How did you know????
At home he is the most gentle, playful, sociable cat you would ever want to meet!!! He loves it when people come over and insists that they pet him!
BUT at the vet's??!?!? He yowls and howls and growls and makes it sound like he wants nothing more than to rip their faces off!!!! Over the years we have finally learned a process that seems to work OK. They give me a sedative pill to give him before he comes, I wipe the inside of the cat carrier with the soothing cat pheromones and I put a big towel in the drier to heat it up. I put the towel in his carrier when I put him in. When we prepare this way, he only growls a little when they draw his blood, but otherwise mostly sits there. THANK GOODNESS!

Get shorts? Hey, it’s February! Oh, it’s February... ‍♀️:D It’s so easy to forget sometimes that you’re in the Southern Hemisphere. Good luck with all the chores.
Girls are easier to shop for as the shops have so much variety for girls and very little for boys. Especially ones who are picky.

Yawn ? It makes me want to sleep !
I can sleep everywhere, on a chair, in front of the computer, on the sofa, of course in my bed, but the easiest way for me to fall asleep in a few minutes is to read a book in the evening ....... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz:D:D:D

If I read, I read books I like then I cannot put the book down until I finish it.

Hey all. Some time ago the proper care of orchids was being discussed. Our local garden center holds orchid clinics, and demos, even orchid auctions, they provided this info. Good info on the need to repot once they bloom

This was helpful thanks! I'm just waiting to find an orchid I like before trying again. Most of the ones I have seen lately are the white ones that they inject dye into to make them electric blue.

Hello all. I’m back from an exercise class run by my physio.

She has started a weekly yoga/stretch session for crocks like me to try and get us moving better. At 53, I’m the youngest by quite a way [emoji849] It was quite fun, a lot of giggling, but there’s no shirking because she notices as soon as we’re not doing things properly.

I’m quite tired now, but hopefully it will make me feel better in the long run :)
It sounds like a good way forward.
