We may be in the clear with the remaining little boy, but one never knows. Finally, he's eating from the plate on his own (he's OVER me syringe feeding him!). The ringworm looks awful, but it actually is improving. We need a name for this little warrior. Suggestions are welcome! (lol - I just looked over and saw that he's moved from HIS bowl of food to Daisy's!) She's not interested in food at the moment - she's too busy squirming around in heat (had me up all night crying.) I wish there was a magic wand I could wave to relieve her.
Reading about Daisy's updates always brings back a memory of my old cat, Patches. He was a rescue too, and when we first brought him home, he was so timid. For the first week, he barely came out from under the sofa. I remember just sitting on the floor near the sofa, reading a book aloud, hoping he'd feel safe enough to come explore https://www.nytimes.com/2009/06/10/business/10poker.html?_r=14 Slowly, over time, he started to trust us, and soon he was the most affectionate cat I'd ever known, always wanting to be by my side. It's such a rewarding feeling to see an animal come out of its shell and blossom. It sounds like Daisy is on that same wonderful journey. How long did…
This update on Daisy really resonated with me. It brought back memories of when our old dog, Buster, had a similar scare a few years back. He was always so full of life, and then one morning he just seemed… off. Lethargic, not eating, and generally looking miserable. We rushed him to the vet, convinced it was something serious https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_of_skill Turns out, it was a pretty nasty stomach bug that just needed some rest and a special diet. The relief when the vet said it wasn't life-threatening was immense. It's those moments, when you feel so helpless watching a beloved pet suffer, that really make you appreciate their resilience and the amazing care that vets provide. I'm so glad Daisy…
