From the desk of...

Updated: The V.E.T report was surprisingly good. On the lab work that was checked, only one value remains elevated and it is only slightly above the normal range. The other value which had actually climbed in the second set of blood work, was back down in the normal range. So the verdict is that Phoebe is improving from the steroid medication. Steroids help to improve a lot of illnesses in cats and stimulate appetite, so we are not sure exactly what has caused this or why it's better. But for now, anyway, we can relax and enjoy the fact that she's actually improved. We continue the steroids twice a day for another week and then cut back to once a day for a month.

Dear Pablo and all my friends,

Tracy and I were just looking back at the most recent blog posts and realized that we have not given you all an update about me in a while. I want to let you know that in the last week or so, I have been eating very well and have gained weight. We got a new scale and according to it, I now weight 8.2 lbs. Tracy says this is very good, but we don't know for sure that it means my liver is any better. That's why she made me an appointment at the V-E-T's office for Saturday. Oh bother! I don't like my ear medicine or getting weighed, but I do feel better and I like our new food. We are eating Science Diet for adult indoor cats. We all three like it, and we don't even have to fight over it because we can all eat it. Tracy put it in the big bowl.
