Kitty not well yet, maybe not even improved

[cjsmith]

Unfortunately, jackiecat is pooping fresh blood again. There's some fecal matter, but mostly it's intestinal mucous and blood.

She vomited again, too, but there's no blood there this time, thank goodness.

She hasn't passed any of the hairballs that were blocking her this past weekend. She does have SOME fecal matter exiting, but overall, this is Not Good.

Managed to give her one of the enormous antibiotic capsules by coating it in butter and hanging on to her for dear life until she finally gave up and swallowed. I am amazed that thing went down. Poor fuzzball!

Another unfortunate thing: Jackie doesn't like Petromalt. (Well, laxatone.) Fortunately Duchess will eat it. Duchess has even more hair than Jackie does, so preventative measures there are a good idea. I wish Jackie liked it, though. She needs it badly right now.

Poor kitty, and poor CJ. I hope she feels better soon.

Thanks! I wish I were the one sick instead, because at least I understand what I'd need to do to get well. (Lessee: eat a tub of Vaseline, run around a lot, hydrate like crazy, do the belly-shaking yoga thingy, and kick Rob out of the house until it's not toxic to breathe indoors any more.)
