Enjoyed that, Ann. Glad she's on the mend. We have no animals at present - our geriatric Black Lab & 2 cats have all passed on. The Lab was 14 & both cats about 20.

We have been tying to "tame" one or two of the myriad of feral cats living around here. I joined the SPCA catch, neuter, get a rabies shot & release (in the same area) programme. A lady a few doors away & I have caught over 20 between us in a couple of months. The SPCA loans out the traps. Some are too clever to be caught. We feed them daily (stopped doing it at night because of the fights). Two are getting friendlier so we are hopeful.

Now that she is much better and has gained back some weight I feel I can share 
this mini vid I took before I took her to get an Ultra Sound two weeks ago. She 
had to
do without any food after midnight the night before this was shot and she was 
NOT pleased.. as she let me know here..

She had had a concerning pattern of weight loss recently , vet visit a couple 
of months ago indicated some kind of IBD  - she got steroids and B vitamin shot 
and
improved a bit then declined again.. so the Ultra Sound proved necessary.. she came home 
with pills to take  1/2 of twice a day for two weeks then once a week "forever"
It took some creativity to get the pill into her - the solution after some 
experimenting turned out to be burying the tiny thing in a small wad of cheddar 
cheese - actually, English Double Glouster . she gets that into her tummy 
quickly and therefore is spared the bitter taste of the pill (mashing up the 
pill in her food was NOT a good solution
"fool me once... ")  the pills are Prednisolone . 5mg pills cut in half.   I 
didn't want to tell people anything aobut her trials until I was able to say she is 
responding nicely
to the meds and is up to many of her old naughty tricks , is displaying good 
bathroom behaviour and hasn't barfed  at all in two weeks.

so here is the short vid I took early in the morning of Sept 22 before we went 
to the vet..  video verite - took with my darkside little camera - no editing.
