Sophie’s diagnosis

So this cat. Sigh.  She will be 14 years old this summer so she’s getting up there in years for a cat.  A few months ago, she couldn’t stop puking.  After a visit to the vet, she was diagnosed with hypothyroidism.  I always swore we wouldn’t be a family that pays for expensive pet treatments.  I know some people do and that’s totally fine, but as much as I love Sophie. . when the time comes, it’s time.  Looks like she got lucky this time.

Thankfully, she doesn’t eat any table food (except maybe a lone piece of popcorn) so we were able to simply transition her to a slightly more expensive food made for hyperthyroidism.  It’s brought all her levels back to normal with no meds.

So it looks like she’ll be around for a little while longer.  I think Owen and Ellie will be glad of that!  

I was framed

Well, Sophie was ‘framed.’  I was trying to get some pictures hung up in Owen’s room (finally) and Owen, and William were having a little fun.  Guess she didn’t mind too much.

Sophie

I'm making my way through my massive to-do-before-baby-arrives list. It's things like get my car detailed and clean the base boards. Things that aren't crucial, but seem critical to my preggo brain at the moment. Today was getting Sophie back to her old vet, checked out, and updated on shots. I love her vet. Plug for Caring Hands Animal Hospital in Urbana. Her nurse was also pregnant and due just 5 days after me, so we just jabbered away about baby stuff for long after the appointment was over. And come to find out my vet's kids go to Robeson. Small world.

She was due for 2 shots. It's hard to watch my fur-baby get jabbed. How am I going to make it through watching my little man get them in not too many months here. So, blogger world, do you have any good resources on delayed vaccinations and making a plan? I know people fall all over the spectrum when it comes to this issue, so I just want some good resources to start deciding what we'll do. Thanks ladies!
