Zurik’s Update
18th Apr 2019, by AnimalCare
I’ve been doing my best to find out about the Rivalta Test and so far, there are two clinics that has done it before. In yesterday’s post, if you viewed the video, you’d see how relatively easy it can be done. It just needs a test-tube, water, a few drops of vinegar and one drop of the pleural effusion. Then, hope that the jellyfish will NOT appear.
The vet kept Zurik’s effusion aspirated from yesterday. I was told that the test “failed” yesterday because the...

Indy’s Water Intake
18th Apr 2019, by AnimalCare
Indy has to drink more water in our attempt to get his creatinine level down (if at all possible) so that we can do his dental scaling and tooth extraction. Actually, among the four of them, Indy has the worst dental hygiene because of the presence of pus in his mouth.
However, due to the high creatinine reading, the procedure cannot be done yet.
But Indy is a kibble king, so this probably adds to the problem of insufficient water intake.
He used to drink a lot from the running tap and this happ...

Bunny’s Updates
18th Apr 2019, by AnimalCare
I updated the vet about Bunny every day. Compared with Cow, Bunny’s recovery from the dental procedure was significantly slower. I was worried for the first two days. But now, he is almost back to normal behaviour.
The vet said one of the reasons could be Bunny’s reaction to the transdermal Tramadol. Maybe the dosage was too high and it made Bunny sleepy. So, we reduced it to 0.1ml instead of 0.2ml. Also, I don’t think he needs it much longer as he hasn’t shown symptoms ...

The Rivalta Test For FIP
17th Apr 2019, by AnimalCare
This is how the Rivalta Test is done: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XmOk2ve unqA&fbclid=IwAR0iaN0Le0YEGA84IQUcm85hIYFES74g TTdDdISeBHngWvRERHC0aTqqwLU
Wiki page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rivalta_t est
I got this from the FIP Advisory Group. They have been so helpful.
If the “jellyfish” appears – that’s a “positive” result and it means the cat has an 86% chance of having FIP.
If the effusion diffuses into nothingness, no “jellyfish&rd...

Zurik’s Visit To The Vet’s – It’s Not Toxoplasmosis
17th Apr 2019, by AnimalCare
I’ve just returned from the vet’s with Zurik. He was so good in the car, to and fro.
An ultrasound was done for the lungs, there was presence of fluids in the right cavity again and very little in the left. We had about 40ml of yellow effusion sucked out from the right lung this time. Zurik was incredibly good throughout the procedure. Even the vet remarked that he is “such a good cat”. The left lung had just a wee bit and the vet says it was too little to be...

Zurik Eats Raw Meat
17th Apr 2019, by AnimalCare
I discovered yesterday that Zurik likes to eat raw chicken fillet! He doesn’t like Cubgrub (which is balanced and hence, better) but he likes raw chicken meat, so I went out to buy some.
Ginger also likes raw chicken, but not Cubgrub.
Although plain raw meat doesn’t have the full range of nutrients that cats need, but at least it does have some micronutrients (which may be destroyed through cooking) and also taurine, which is so important for cats. Cooking destroys the taurine in ra...

Bunny In The Morning
17th Apr 2019, by AnimalCare
I was very worried about Bunny last night. Although he ate, he seemed very down and depressed.
Was it due to the pain? He was already on the transdermal Tramadol (as a painkiller). I asked the vet if I could give him some B Complex (the sunshine vitamin) and she said yes. So I gave him last night.
This morning, he still seems tired and listless. But he ate.
Cleo isn’t making such a fuss these days. She eats her Cubgrub with the fish oil in it (Yay!). But for some strange reaso...

Who’s Da Boss?
16th Apr 2019, by AnimalCare
I am!
Yups, me!
Show me those menacing eyes, Zurik…
Not menacing enough…a bit more….
After the subcut this morning, I managed to trim all of Zurik’s nails, on all four paws!
Tomorrow, the plan is to take Zurik for a toxoplasmosis, mycoplasma and Rivalta test. I learnt all this from the FIP Advisory and Care Group. Zurik’s vet doesn’t think it’s mycoplasma, though.

Bunny’s Afternoon
16th Apr 2019, by AnimalCare
Bunny wasn’t happy with e-collar at all.
So this afternoon, I took it off and observed him for 5 minutes. He did not paw at his mouth.
He slept all afternoon in his tunnel.
For dinner just now, I gave him Recovery, which he ate but not as voraciously as he always does. Maybe there’s still pain from the extraction site.
I hope Bunny feels better soon.

Zurik And The FIP Advisory And Care Group
16th Apr 2019, by AnimalCare
I joined the FIP Advisory and Care Group on FB and the members there (some are vets and professionals in the field) have been extremely helpful. It’s a global group.
FIP is a very poorly understood disease so I really have to learn more about it in doing my best to support Zurik. There was an outpour of response last night, within just a short span of time, all very helpful and geared towards helping Zurik.
I requested permission to share this chart and was told I could: FIPAC E...

Bunny’s Morning
16th Apr 2019, by AnimalCare
I got up at 4am this morning to check on Bunny.
He was sitting in the cage, e-collar still intact (luckily!).
I fed the Cow Clan and Blanket Cats first (including Zurik). They all ate.
Then, it was Bunny’s turn.
I took his e-collar off so that he could eat in peace and gave him mashed Cindy’s Tender Chicken. Bunny does have a chronic stomach weakness so I guess this would be the simplest food. I’ve confirmed with the supplier (through the manufacturer) that Cindy’s...

Bunny was examined, p...

15th Apr 2019, by AnimalCare
Today is Indy’s second home subcut.
He was MUCH calmer.
But it is still a two-person job for now.
Bunny’s was yesterday – also needed two persons.
After the subcut!

15th Apr 2019, by AnimalCare
Shortly I finished writing the previous post, Zurik came to call me from the grille.
He led me into the kitchen and asked for food!!
A third breakfast for today!!
All good!!
My nutritionist-pharmacist told me recently that appetite is a good measurement of happiness.
I hope it is!!
Quality time is all that matters. It’s all we have, isn’t it?
Later, Zurik drank water – a lot of it too. Yesterday, I was just thinking if he would need subcut because from the pinch test, he seeme...
