Molly is Clare's 19 year old cat who was diagnosed just over a week ago with tonsillitis. She was prescribed penycyllin (def spell) to which she had an allergic reaction which made her itch incessantly, pulling out clumps of her fur. Went back to the vet and he suggested to leave her and see how it went without any medication and she is quite a bit better, but still has periods where she coughs, but is still eating. So onwards and upwards with that one.
Edna is a 23 yr old Welsh Sec D pony who has not been herself over the last couple of days, nothing definite and hard to pin point, just not quite right, lethargic, not eating properly.
Vet came out this p.m. could not find anything definite, all major organs working well including gut and heart, so she thinks it could be Cushings disease which apparently older horses get, so bloods taken for her and to monitor her till the results come back hopefully tomorrow.
Apparently Cushings can show up in three different ways, laminitis, curly coat or dull and not quite right. If it is Cushings she will be on medication for the rest of her life, so onwards and upwards with this one too.
Who would have animals, eh?
