latest on Rusty

The vet just called. Rusty's blood work is normal. His kidneys are OK.
So is the thyroid. What a relief!
She did suggest giving him some Pepsid A/C for his spitting up.

That's so wonderful to hear!

Anyone has experience with Pepsid A/C? I have never taken this stuff
myself, let alone giving it to a cat.
If the spits continues when he finished his 7 day course of Clavamox, she
will switch him to another antibiotic as he needs to be on antibiotics for
14 days.

I give 1/4 of a 10 mg tablet to Sugar when she is urpy. It *really* can
help. Little hard to cut up, but it does work. I just make sure I get a
couple of small syringes of water down with it too. She can really get into
the nausea cycle so it is important when she is nauseated to get that cycle
broken ASAP. I keep it on hand for her.

I am kind of amazed Rusty lives this long with all
his urinary problems. They started when he was only 2 and he will be
12 in June. I lost track of the times I have to rush him to the emergency or
regular TED.
Not to mention the vet bills over the years. I think I spent more on
TED bills than on my own health care. Of course I have government
health insurance. Wish I bought pet insurance before his first blockage
But I never have any tests on my kidneys and liver. Rusty had them at least
twice
already and for sure more to come But then I am not in my 60s.
He may outlive me yet. I probably should make provisions for him for
the scenario.

Enough with all the ramblings.
Thanks for all your purrs over the years.
