Boy Judi, you are exactly right.....I've definitely found with Maggie that I have to be calm...if I'm not and getting frusterated, she knows/feels my anxiety too and it just makes everything all that worse....I'm not having any real problems with the pilling, probably because I'm using the pill-pockets, but when it's time to go to the vet I know she can feel my anxiety about taking her and then she reacts accordingly!!<br>you mentioned pilling your Maggie, is everything ok? I hope it's nothing serious? -- Piggy's Pad

We're trying to get her allergies, whatever they are, under control. It's a chronic thing - she's licked all the fur off her abdomen and inner legs. Sad to say, I didn't even notice that until she turned up with allergies on and around her ears. I took her in for that, and the vet holds her up and says, how long has this been going on?, pointing to her tummy. Oops. At first she had to take an antibiotic along with the allergy med, and a topical antibiotic to wipe on her ears. The ears are good now, knock on wood. (more) -- Judi, 11:05:00 pm, Sat, 03/29/08
Boy, you have had your hands full haven't you? I sure hope the meds help your Maggie....don't feel bad that you didn't notice her belly....you said she isn't a cuddly kitty....that makes it harder sometimes to see what is going on....I'm glad Spike is doing better...how old are the two of them now? (NT) -- Kate, 5:37:43 am, Sun, 03/30/08
Spike is 14, and Maggie is 11. (NT) -- Judi, 11:27:35 pm, Sun, 03/30/08
That doesn't seem possible Judi.... (NT) -- Kate, 8:07:03 pm, Mon, 03/31/08
No, it sure doesn't. They were both little kittens when we got them. (NT) -- Judi, 10:20:02 pm, Tue, 04/01/08
