Gracie here. This wasn’t a good week here. Mollie didn’t feel good. When one of us has a bad day, we all do. She was diagnosed with esophageal dysfunction. I don’t know what it means but the “portal to hell” is out from the closet and that can’t be good. The peeps say there is a specialist that maybe can help. Hugs to Mollie.
With all that going on the Easter Egg Hunt went by the wayside. None of us cats were into hiding eggs so the last three are still in the basket. You never know though. Someone gets a little ‘nip and all hell breaks lose here.
We all hope you have a good weekend and send some positive energy for Mollie. She needs some good juju.
Thinking good thoughts for Mollie! And for her humans and fellow cats as well π

Actually yesterday was a great day and this morning too. If I had not already freaked out and made the appointment, I would have let it go. I think it’ prudent to try to find the root cause of her issues even if they can’t be fixed. Maybe it’s bad reflux and some simple meds would help. (I always like to think simple rather than a cancerous spot.)

Well that is good and I don’t blame you for freaking out. My friend Carol’s cat Dudley had some digestive issues and acting sluggish and she took him to the regular vet, not his specialist, about ten days ago. She said they were only taking emergencies and you had to park at the curb and a vet tech came out and took the carrier, but Carol had to wait outside til they called her they were bringing him out again. Carol lives in New York, near Rochester, so not in the heart of NYC. Luckily she could bring him home and not leave him there.

We don’t know to be honest, apart from that she will insist on snorkeling in the grass on our walks and could pick something up there, or it’s the biscuits (we bought cheap so have gone back on the more expensive), or an after effect of her meds for the infection or just her age. She’s had rice today so at least her tummy won’t be churning.

I know! Seriously, could she have picked a worse time? Actually, she’s had it for about 6 months and we’ve tried the easy fixes. The next step is a scope which I resisted because of the anesthesia. Seeing an internist will help with valuable info. I’m lucky we have such a thing locally. She had an ultrasound and all her organs are really good for a cat her age. Sadly you can’t see the esophagus on an ultrasound.
