My little old man is losing weight and, I'm sorry to report, losing interest in his favorite foods. I was able to get him to take some (not much) scrambled egg this morning, then some chocolate soy milk, and finally guacamole...but he only licked a bit off my finger and doesn't want the rest.
I remember a time when sticking my guacamole-covered finger in his face would have been a good way to lose that finger.
He's cuddled in my lap bruxing away now. His breathing is good, he's washing, and I have no idea why he isn't eating, except that he's slowing down before my eyes.
In other pet news, the dog has thrombocytopenia (low platelets) and is taking prednisone, which is causing her to drink prodigious amounts of water and leave swimming pool-sized puddles on the floor with alarming regularity. She's confused by the incontinence pads...I guess she thinks they are new rugs that she'd better not pee on. I broke down and bought her a diaper tonight, but I don't know if I can be cruel enough to inflict that on her...I guess it depends (no pun intended) on what kind of flood I come home to tomorrow.
