[Sundae]

Diz has cat flu.
New vet diagnosed him as a carrier, meaning he will have it on and off his whole life. Makes sense, although it's taken this long to have it diagnosed. I've twice had him treated for eye infections with no follow-up.

Also he has a heart murmer. Symptoms also make sense.

Gotta be Mean Person again forever now and not listen to unhelpful people telling me he has lost too much weight (same people eager to tell me he put on too much).
Saying that, I always knew he'd put on weight and that he has again, so that side of the equation I can only blame on myself. And listening to them about his weight loss, I knew I was feeding him within official guidelines, so I shouldn't have relaxed. The fact he went on a scavenging fury was just Diz-scoffery, not starvation.

He has antiobiotics. And it only cost me £50 (OMG!) Thank goodness the 'rents were kind enough to cover it - to be paid back of course. It's worth 4x in peace of mind. The Mia-cat had a weepy eye for a few weeks and it ended up being some sort of seed-husk in her eye which had already scratched her cornea and could have ended in blindness. But she's more skittish than Diz, who makes sure I have a full view of his peepers multiple times a day, so I only self-treated for a few days before realising it wasn't just a passing blip.

Boy-chick does NOT like the eye-gel. Vet warned it passed quickly from eye to nose to mouth. BITTER! Diz would say if he could, it's written in every line of his reaction. Pawing his eyes and nose in turn, licking his nose and then slapping his chops like a teen with gum.

Sorry Babba, not ready for you to cark it yet.
