Luigi (one of our geriatric cats) seemed to be having even more trouble getting around, so Christine took him to an emergency vet visit. She has better advice for the laser treatments*, a prescription for gabapentin, and a plan for some medication delivered by injection. I think of Greycie Loo, racked by cancer but still with a will for life - -but not a will to eat. Luigi is so companionable and sweet: i hope we can find a reasonable course to keep the pain back until he shows us he's ready.

Still waiting for the doctor to write my prescription for the APAP.

Got the second booster. Assuming light malaise is that and not due to it being seven days after being out with my sister. I'll take a test before gathering with family at lunch.

If you want to treat your cat with laser therapy, you can buy them on the internet and do it your self.

Yes, we've been doing that for about a year. We're pretty pleased with how it's turning out, although getting the laser was a bit frustrating with one vendor losing our trust. We're very pleased with the one we got. (I don't have notes about the good vendor at hand, though.)
