The girls are sick, and so am I

Sunday, February 24, 2008

I've been having a nagging sore throat for the last couple of days. I was lazy to go to the doctor's despite it being paid for by the company plus the fact that I really should be a healthy mother to take care of my little boy. Instead, I got Ray to buy me some papaya enzymes which are very effective for sore throats. I'm supposed to take it 3 times a day but after the first dose, my throat was just fine! Now I'm left with some irritating itching cough and the sniffs. :(

My cats are sick too :( This upsets me more than me being sick. I first noticed Prue was very much inactive compared to her usual self and she wasn't eating. She felt warm so I knew immediately that she was running a fever. Soon, Phoebe, Prue's daughter, was also running a fever. I brought both of them to the vet. Where I failed was thinking that Piper was alright. It was only when I returned from the vet that I found Piper to be inactive and warm too! :(

It's really hard trying to get them to take their medication. The girls are hardly sick, and so was never really fed pills or other forms of medicine. We had to crush the pills and mix it into their food. But even the delicious wet cat food didn't entice them enough. I guess they don't have much appetite, just like us when we are sick.

Anyway, however much medicine that manages its way in, I hope they work to battle the virus in their bodies quickly. I really want them to get well soon. I miss them jumping up and down and meowing me like crazy :(
