To those of you who have expressed concern, ( I commented on a couple of blogs that Bailey was not doing well), thank you so much, I do appreciate your comments. When we picked him up Thursday from the kennels (a very good one I might add), we noticed that Bailey had a cough. By Saturday he was having trouble breathing. We took him to the vet today and sure enough he has quite a bad upper respiratory infection. So it's antibiotic pill-pushing for ten days, and sessions in the bathroom with a vaporizer going. I crushed up his pills very finely, mixed them with a fair amount of food, (fortunately he has not lost his appetite, though for a while there we were concerned because he wouldn't eat because he couldn't breathe), then dribbled some tuna juice (water, not oil) over his food and -- presto, he ate it all! This is a cat who has always turned up his nose at any people food, so I was very happy to see this. Now we shall see how long I can fool him with the tuna juice. I think he will perk up quite nicely with all the TLC.

sorry to hear that Bailey isnt feeling so well, my cat lucy had an upper resptory infection 8 months ago, I have no idea where she may of caught that from, may of been from another cat that I sometimes take care of. Anyways she had recovered very well, and she too had the pleasures at gobbling up some of the tuna fish water on her food that the vet had ordered.
Love all of your minature art, so very detailed for sure...my two favorites are the birds, esepcially the Sea Gulls. Great work and glad to see your back.
I'm glad that Bailey seems to be responding to your TLC. Cats hate being away from home, don't they, and maybe that's when they're more vulnerable to infection.
Pretty ATCs, Chris. They'd look lovely in between your vacation photos in an album, if you don't swap or sell them. x
Hi Chris:
thanks for visiting my blog and for your comments. I am in awe of your artwork. It's beautiful. I don't know what ATC stands for tho'.
Sorry about your cat. Hope he recovers soon.
:-)
great pictures - again - but I am sorry to hear that Bailey isn't 100% and trust he will continue to accept your treatment and realise it is for his own good.......
Oh the tuna trick eh I hear Ella our puss hiss down the stairs! Hmmm She susses it out! Afraid it's crushed into raw/cooked liver for madam!
Poor Bailey. I hope the best for him.
Very beautiful paintings, Chris. You are very very talented.
Take care of Bailey.
Bailey is a trooper, he'll be good in no time. Beautiful paintings, I too love the birds specially that last one, so much detail.
Glad you got him some help and he's on the way to recovery. I can only imagine getting the pills into him.
