Another cat update ..
Apr. 15th, 2009 09:00 pmDarcy: is doing much better. Still a little sniffly, but *much* better, and I've only had to toss out one of her pills so far because she was too much of a bum to swallow it before it got all gross and dissolve-y.
Bingley: has definitely caught Darcy's infection. She's been sniffly and very sneezy, and she has really watery eyes - she's been crying a lot more than Darcy was. She's sort of okay with nosedrops, sometimes, so I've given her some of those. This evening I tried to give her one of Darcy's antihistamines (after researching it and determining it would probably be fine to do so), but she's even better than Darcy is at not swallowing pills, so that was another one wasted (and another band-aid on my hand ...). My research also showed that sinus infections tend to go away on their own after a couple of weeks, so I don't think I'll take the Bings to the vet unless it gets much worse (especially since the vet would probably give her more pills, and that would be sort of a losing proposition, it seems).
They're both absolutely fine aside from stuffy-head symptoms - eating and sleeping and playing and pooping and glomming me just as usual, and not vomiting or sneezing blood or anything. I think they will be okay. Still, happy thoughts for my babies would be appreciated!
