My skinny cat, Clyde

An update on what's happening with Clyde. He has been taking the medicine almost two months and it doesn't seem to be making a difference. He's still just as skinny as before. I guess it's back to the vet for more tests but we have to get a pill to knock him out first in order to get him back to the vet's office. I sure hope it's not something that can't be fixed. I love that big guy and hope he gets better.

Anyway I will keep you posted.

Thanks for reading my blog and hope you like it.

My Sister

Well, my sis is doing better. She got to go home on Monday and being home has helped her. She will do better and better.

Clyde my cat has been on the medicine for hyperthyroid for a month and still doesn't seem to be much heavier. I will have to call the vet next week to see if he should keep taking the medicine.

Man it has gotten pretty cold here but is supposed to warm up some during the next week. I want to move somewhere warm. I hate cold weather. Oh, well I'll survive it. I have for all these years so guess I can make a few more.

Have been trying to list more items and have listed a few but the weather has been cold and gloomy (until today the sun came out). I just can't seem to get motivated. I need to get more sales and that will motivate me a lot.

If you get a chance stop in and check out my stores. If not, thanks for reading my blog. I appreciate it.

How is Clyde?

Hi again.

More info on how Clyde is doing. Whatever his problem is I don't think it's hyperthyroid as he has been taking the medicine for 2 1/2" weeks and he is still as skinny as ever. I will use all the rest of the prescription over the holidays just to make sure as I don't know how long he has to take the medicine before it starts making a difference. If anyone knows feel free to leave a comment on the bottom of this post. I guess if it's not hyperthyroid then it's back to the vet to see if we can find out what he has.

We have been extra busy this month it seems as there were so many animal visits to the doctor, plus our visits and then my older sister had to have surgery for the almost the same stomach problem I was operated on last year. Her's was slightly different though but still required the same surgery. Hopefully she will get out of the hospital today. I had to go yesterday to have the sonograms on my stomach and carotid arteries in my neck. Thank God they have improved so don't have to check them again for another 9 months.

I have been trying to list in my store, send out the items purchased and a bunch of other things I normally do and it has been really crazy. Hope you all check out my stores in the next few weeks as I will be adding lots of cool items. I think the cut off date for getting the purchased items for Christmas will be December 19th. I'm not sure they will get to the destination by Christmas if they are shipped after that date.

Anyway I hope all of you are well and looking forward to the holidays. I wish you all a great Christmas and New Year in case I don't get another post completed before the holidays get here.

Thanks for taking time out to read my little blog.

My Skinny Cat, Clyde..

Well we have put Clyde on medicine for hyperthyroid as the blood test showed he was borderline and nothing else was found to make him lose weight. I am hoping that the medicine makes him get back to his lion like self. He just seems so light and insubstantial now. He doesn't seem to be so hungry so maybe the medicine is helping. The above picture is of him before he lost all the weight. As you can see he was a lot more substantial. Maybe too much.
Anyway If anyone is interested I will be blogging on how he is doing.


We found out that our little Corky has a small kidney problem so we have him on a food that is supposed to help. This month was really expensive as we spent around $600 on just two of our animals. Hopefully they will all stay well as being retired we are on a fixed income and can only spend so much money. We are one of those people that don't have a big savings account. Lady our other dog goes to get her shots next - another $100 cost.

Hopefully, I will get more sales so if the cats, dogs or us need medical attention we can afford to treat us. That is one fear I have that one of us or our furry babies will get something that we can't pay for. I pray that won't happen.

Anyway - Happy Thanksgiving to you all. Eat a lot of turkey and watch the games or whatever you do on a holiday. Just think only a month until Christmas. Wow, this year has really gone fast. Too fast if you ask me.

To all who read my little blog - thanks.

Got Clyde to the doctor...

Well, the pill pockets worked. Wish I would have had known about them before as the cats haven't been to the doctor for a few years due to the problem of catching them. They have ESP and know when we are going to take them to the doctor.

The doctor thinks it may be a problem with his thyroid. I was scared that it was diabetes or something. We won't know for a few days if it is a problem with his thyroid or not. Hopefully it will be easily controlled.

We still need to get our other cat to the doctor but that will have to wait. It was $200 for Clyde and when we got home our little boy, Corky, started passing out. We thought it may be epilepsy but the doctor didn't think so. We had to have another blood test and it was another $150.00. Next comes both of the dogs yearly shots which will be I don't know how much. For retirees on a budget that is quite a lot to handle. That is my biggest fear with having pets - having a big health problem that we can't financially handle.

Now that Google has messed up my business I have even more fears that we can't even handle their yearly costs. I didn't even dream that we would be worried so much about $300 or $400 for vet fees but we sure are. Of course we are in the same boat as so many other people so I guess we're in good company at least.

Well, I'm sure you have heard enough of my animal and money woes so I will just stop talking about it now.

Thanks so much for checking out my blog. Hope you have a great weekend.
