Waiting

I will be so happy when we can let Satchmo out.  I can only hope that Ava will be, too.  They're cordial through the door, at least.

He had hi vet check up on Wednesday.  I took him to a holistic vet.  She was pretty rad.  He seems to have a virus (respiratory, no doubt) and he was running a fever when thy got his temp.  He's also about 2 pounds under weight.  So, it's good that he's here.  And good that he's quarantined, too, even if it makes for two lonely kitties.  The vet didn't want to put him on antibiotics unless she had to, so she made us an herbal tincture instead.  We mis it with fatty, cheap cat food and force it on him with an oral syringe.  He's pretty tolerant of the whole ordeal.  Already he seems to be eating more and sneezing a little less.  But, probably due to the wet food that we mix with the tincture, he has the runs.  The good news is that he is very good at hitting the litter box.  ...Not that you were particularly interested in that information.

The plan is to let him out on Tuesday if he continues to get better.  I'm going to call the vet first and ask her opinion, though.  Mom is coming this "weekend" to get her tattoo, so I hope she doesn't have to share the guest room.  Fingers crossed.
