…I position him to wrap the towel around him. His fight to avoid the towel is tamed down once his front paws are wrapped!
The medications: blood pressure in the syringe on the left and hyperthyroidism on the right, with the dosage clicked up on the applicator tip, which is used to smear it onto the inner flap of Andy’s ear.
Hyperthyroidism medication applied, Andy rests as best he can, knowing what comes next: the mouthful of high blood pressure medication.
The dreaded syringe! I shoot a tiny bit at a time, so he doesn’t choke on it. I also let it warm up a bit before giving it to him. LOL! Actually, it warms up while I try to round up my unwilling kitty.
Andy, after his blood pressure dose, is unhappy and lets me know he’s had it for the day.
Of course, once he’s had both medications, he’s ready to get out of the towel burrito and return to his important kitty business. I carefully let him out of the towel to avoid him repelling off my leg, the source of these wounds I posted a photo of earlier.
Yeah, it heals, but it hurts when it happens.

Today is my first experiment in posting one post for two days. I know several people use my daily posts as one way to track that I am OK, but the reality is there are times I’ve had up to four posts prepared ahead! Three posts ahead is more typical, yet the majority are prepared daily. It’s a grueling effort sometimes. I get worn out, Andy isn’t doing anything new or interesting, and dialysis sometimes leaves me exhausted to the point I don’t feel creative. This experiment is to test if you are OK with me occasionally doing less than a daily post.

Andy goes to the veterinarian’s for a follow-up on the 16th, so the post on the 17th will feature that visit.

Ludwig van Beethoven’s 254th birthday is on the 16th. I’ll play the 1st movement of his 5th Symphony in my head while my little Drama Kitty deals with his appointment – duh-duh-duh- duhhhh – finishing with the Choral finale to his 9th Symphony, built on Friedrich Schiller’s “Ode to Freedom and Joy” poem, an appropriate end to Andy’s follow-up!
