Hecate: saved from the Styx!

 

100 or so of you Kurt'n'Kitty lovers have read my account the sad life of our little Hecate.

https://kurtofgerolstein.blogspot.com/2023/01/hecate-or-tale-of-five-kitties.html

It is now about day 50 of his treatment, and he is lightweight, smaller than his three litter-brothers, but the swelled tummy has gone down, and energy has returned  ...

By rights, he should have been dead weeks ago ..

I have been pestering Wendy to take him back to the vet for an interim check-up, but she quite rightly said that the vet said 'only bring him back if something is wrong'. So ...

But today he had matter coming from his eye ...  and we decided that that was 'something wrong'. Bundle him into the kitty-carrier (no easy task!) and off to Rangiora ...

Yes, he'd got a scratch or something in the eye (the little boy has been gallivanting in the gorse with his new found strength). He's got to have eyedrops twice daily. Arrrrrrggggh. As if the daily pill weren't enough of a battle! 

Well, that's his credit card now nearly $3000 in the red.  But it was worth every cent to get the other result from the visit: 'he seems perfectly healthy'!

So all you worldwide kitties who clapped your paws ...  I think you may have made a miracle ....

Hec is snuggled up on the sofa with small sister Tibby ...

And my heart is half a ton lighter ...

19 March 2023. Hecate has finished his 100-day course of treatment. He seems lively and well and ... in three days he goes back to the vet for a check-up ...
