Ugh. I fed the catkin at 6pm and napped, woke up at midnight to see she hadn't eaten her food and so hadn't taken her medication.

Removed it and gave her half of her usual dose to tide her over til 6am (mixed into some of her old Fancy Feast Royale) and she ate it. So she just suddenly doesn't like the particular flavour that makes up half the stash of food I bought and it's messing with her meds schedule. She started getting sooky, went between different trays and had the runs so she may have stress induced cystitis. I gave her some anti inflammatory pain meds to help. Also tried to give the other half of the usual pain meds but she won't eat it.

If she keeps this fussy eating up she's going to need her medication syringed into her mouth twice daily to ensure she gets it instead of doing it the easy way :(

I'd also taken her off the Zylkene to see if it actually does anything or whether the cost of that would be better off going to monthly Solensia injections. Jury is out on the Zylkene but she's seeming a bit stiff and I think she would really benefit from the injections.

Edit: She just squatted on the carpet and I wasn't fast enough to get a towel under her. Blood, definitely the cystitis. I've blotted it up, soaked the spot with enzyme spray and have a few towels ready in case I need to save the bedding. Heating her tiny wheat bag for her tummy. We're snorgling now
