Day seven

Houston curled up next to me in bed

Enjoying the sun

Sneaking in another nap outside

Houston's first night home was completely uneventful - thankfully.

He spent a lot of time asleep on the bed and when Chris and I joined him, he took turns cuddled up next to both of us.

This morning I got up at 7am and he was drinking some water, so I gave him half of one of his small Dine tins and he ate about a half of that.

We then both went back to bed for a couple more hours.

When we got up I tried to entice him to eat some more of his breakfast, he ate a few mouthfuls and then I took him outside to sit in the sun.

He ended up falling asleep out there!!!

When he came inside I decided it was probably time to give him his first two tablets as part of our at home care.

He's going to be taking one tablet of Prednisolone (an corticosteroid) at home every day for the next seven weeks. He's also taking Losec, which will reduce the amount of acid that his little stomach produces.

Houston, like most cats and dogs, hates taking tablets. We usually try to make the process as easy on him as possible. We usually try and sneak the tablet in some food (usually mince) but sometimes it takes a lot of times being spat out of his mouth to get it eventually to where it should be!

I thought today might be harder since he's had so much medicine these past seven days, but he ate the two tablets inside the mince without even hesitating!!!

Good boy Houston!
