Well, it's been a bit busy in this household, as many of you know. We didn't have much of a Spring. It was really just an extended winter. It was cold here until last week and then we were slammed with hot and humid weather. We had a little heat wave (3 days of 90+ degrees). I spent most of it in my hiding hole in the library. I'm not quite sure who stole our Spring but we will prosecute to the fullest extent possible when we find you.
The good Dr. is on his way to Lincoln, NE. Right now, he's stuck in Des Moines. There's really bad weather right in the flight path. It will be on-again, off-again storms in Lincoln for the week the good Dr. will be there. He'll miss some really nice weather here in the Hub. We'll miss him but we'll have to soldier on and make sure that we get some sun while the humidity is low enough to enjoy it.
In other news, the kitty was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism last week. I'm convinced that she inherited this from my mom, along with her cheekbones. We are opting for medication first and then we might do the radioiodide treatment. The most recent veterinary research finds that this has the best survival times, especially for older cats. She has to take 0.5 mL of the medicine twice a day. Thank goodness they make this in a liquid. Of course she will not take it via the syringe they gave me. I have to squirt it into a spoon.
Do you think the vet will let me mix the medicine with ice cream? I know she'll eat ice cream.
