Le monde du vieux bandit

Phew. I was working outside of home for four days this week, and I’ll be doing the same next week. Urr, without letting go of any contracts, which means working evenings and, of course, long weekends. Today I have a bunch of ends to tie, and a glycemia curve to do with Katcher. This consists […]

See that bag? It is soooo mine! I saw it last night on Etsy, I fell in love, and things got moving. Dee, from Dee’s DeeZigns is shipping me my gorgeous unique bag this afternoon. Yay!

Well I was having a harder and harder time medicating Katcher. This morning he ate under the couch but refused to come out and when he finally did, to drink, he crawled right back under when he saw that I’d seen him. I had to leave for my chiropractic appointment. And y’know what? Herb managed […]

My wish has come true: today is better than yesterday. Oh, he foamed at the mouth and spit out the antibiotics, but I went and got a pill-throwing contraption and it went relatively well. And he eats. Phew. Eat, baby, eat! And he got his insuline shot and that went very well (giving the shot […]

He’s hiding under my clothes in my closet. He’s almost stopped foaming at the mouth now (due to stress as far as anyone can tell — a LOT of stress, which I was hoping I would help alleviate, not cause!). He hides though, and hopefully he sleeps and gets well-deserved rest. Because tonight… he has […]

Katcher est extrêmement stressé, il en bave à souhait. Il se terre, se pousse, et a peur de moi un peu depuis les antibiotiques de ce matin. Je panique un peu, j’ai trop de choses à savoir que je ne sais pas, et les vétérinaires ne me rappellent pas assez vite. C’est terrifiant. Pour le […]

Nous allons chercher notre bébé Katcher chez le vétérinaire d’urgence ce soir. Sa pancréatite lui donne un diabète auxiliaire qui fait aller sa glycémie en dents de scie, alors je devrai vérifier sa glycémie souvent et prendre les décisions qui s’imposent pour l’insuline. Enfin, j’en saurai davantage ce soir, mais je serai trop heureuse pour […]

Good news: Katcher is recuperating wonderfully! And it turns out he has a pancreas infection, which might have caused the diabetes, which… just might simply go away! He also has a little kidney infection. Today his blood sugar is level, the insulin is working well at a low dose, and they will only check his […]

We brought Katcher in to the intesive care at the emergency vet clinic last night. His diabetes had created complications (ketoacidosis) that must be gotten rid of asap and brought back to “normal” diabetes. He’s fine now, doing well and being monitored, but they ordered an ultrasound to see his organs — because diabetes can […]

Ben voilà. Les effets scolaires ont été achetés. J’ai même eu le temps de faire une fouille archéologique de mon espace de travail (le classement, ça viendra! Pour le moment, j’ai de plus belles piles, merci!). Je ne sais pas à quoi jouent les écoles. Papier interligné, kocé ça mange en hiver, ça? À ce […]

Since we got back from Eclipse, exhausted, I haven’t taken one day off. Today, tomorrow? Working. It’s all good: I’m enjoying it, and we need the income. When I stop in the evening, however, I feel hollowed out. This surplus of activity, however, coupled with feline diabetes-related anxiety, has not prevented the yearly occurrence of […]
