two of my three babies napping...both feeling really crappy: livie with a throat infection and waffle after getting a rabies vax
super cute bug showing off the bows her grammie gave her. you can tell she's not 100%, but she's still beautiful :-)
well, i was correct that livie was coming down with something, but it's not a cold, it's a nasty throat infection. my poor baby girl has been so very sick today.
this morning was all about quiet activities, lots of juice, attempts at eating, a smoothie, and some tylenol for livie. q woke up a little early and was a little groggy, so he was okay with the quiet. we had to get waffle to the vet for his rabies vax in the late morning, and before that we needed to get livie a mask. it's common here for people to wear masks when ill, and considering livie's fascination with the mask AND the fact that she's pretty miserably ill, we got her a mask. poor waffle had to accompany us to the pharmacy, but he did great. i don't think anyone knew i had a feline stow away with me in the store...probably thought i just had a very large and ugly purse.
it turns out that livie doesn't like the mask so much...it's uncomfortable. both kids and waffle did super well at the vet, and our appointment was blissfully short. waffle is feeling pretty miserable now, but he handled the vaccination and handling while barely batting any pretty little kitty eyelashes. he's such a charmer...he kissed the vet smack on the lips (waffle loves to shove his nose into your face for kisses...particularly into your nose/mouth). he got lots of compliments on how good he is. i also asked the vet to confirm, for me, that he has the biggest teeth she's ever seen on a cat :-) waffle's teeth are comparable in size to those i have seen on some small dogs...they are thick and long and HUGE. she did say he's designed for fighting, which is just kinda funny considering what a lover he is.
after our vet excursion, it was time for lunch and nap. livie actually fell asleep, which is always a sure sign that she feels really rotten. after a quick nap, we headed out to take livie to the doc. she got a quick exam and a prescription for antibiotics. this evening, she's perked up a little bit and actually ate her dinner very well. i am hopeful that she will feel better tomorrow. she will be out of school for at least tomorrow and possibly also for thursday depending on how her throat looks (think swollen, red, and full of pus).
