Today we will start the medication on our young and grown up cats. It has taken some time to come to this point, but finally the time was right! If anybody needs to learn how to medicate a cat, you are most welcome! 10 young and grown up cats + 5 kittens will be given the Vibranord-mixture 2 times a day, for at least 4 weeks. And all of them will understand what we are doing as soon as we have given the first grown up its first dose. And then the battle begin...... Suddenly no cats will be seen, all of them will vanish like ghosts. I guess my daughter and my husband will have a lot of exercises in this 4 weeks that we have in front of us. But challenges is healthy and sometimes fun - I guess we will have a lot of it!


I am very happy to tell that the eyes of Jagara and Cheetara is much better than we dared to hope for! Cheetara`s eye looks almost normal now, and we hope for it to be allright in the end. Jagara`s eye has some scare tissue, and she will most likely not have a 100% normal eye with normal vision, but she is able to see something with it!

It´s not easy to see the difference at once, but if you look closely you can see it! This pic´s from the 16th og January


All the kittens are eating very well and they have grown a lot these two last weeks. When we started to give them Vibranord they weighed only 400-450 grams - at the age of 8 weeks! Now - at the age of 10 weeks - their weight is 850-900 grams.


Kikki and Doc, whom we thoutght was pregnant, started to call on the day which we thought was their day 60 in the pregnancys. It was a bit sad, because we really wanted to have variants after Kikki and Muffin, but as the situation is here now it was the best that could happen. I do not want to think of two newborn litters here now, with Mykoplasma Felis on the run through our house   


I talked to Siv, Potis new owner, yesterday and she told me that Potis new friend, the Devon Rex Astrix, was very sick. He has a severe pneumonia and high fever and he was in really poor condition. My first thought was that Potis has infected him, even though Potis has no symptoms. Hopefully Siv´s vet will take some tests of Astrix to find out if he has Mykoplasma Felis. I called Siv´s vet and told him about the situation here, and I have sent him an e-mail giving him the details of this process we have been through the last month or so. And now I just sit here waiting for the vet to call to tell me what they would do with Astrix. I cross my fingers for Astrix to be well again without to much problems
