Thankful Thursday

[mdlbear]

Today I am grateful for...

• Cats who, last night at least, enjoyed their pill pockets. Hopefully that will continue, because Desti appears to have hyperthyroidism and will be taking two pills/day for the forseeable future; and Ticia had four teeth extracted, so she'll be taking pain meds and antibiotics for a while.
• Being able to afford vet bills. Unlike humans, cats have to have their teeth cleaned under general anesthesia. Hence the anti-nausea meds that they had to take last night (see above).
• Being able to use my phone as a WiFi hotspot when the household network goes sideways.
• Living among people who are as weird as I am.
• Support groups, where I don't have to explain anything.

When I had dental work for Constanze a few weeks ago, she had some extractions, and they gave me stuff to squirt into her mouth for a few days to reduce the pain. I managed to get most of it into her.

Ticia's pain med -- gabapentin -- is in capsules, to be given one every 12 hours.

Chris and I are familiar with Neurontin. We've given it to several cats. Honor was fussy about the pill pocket flavor, but the other cats haven't been.
