SNEEZY KITTY

Poor little Alexandrite has caught a cold. She had been sneezing here and there since she came to me, but I thought it was just random little kitty sneezes.  It was only when her eyes started to water did I realize that she actually had a cold.

I separated her from her litter mates so that she would have time to rest, but she started to cry. I had to bring in a stuffed toy dog to keep her company.  The stuffed toy resembles my black lab, Hockey.

Alexandrite stopped meowing and relaxed when I put Baby Hockey next to her. I guess any company is better than no company.

I went to *VOKRA to pick up some medication for Alexandrite in the hopes that she will get over her cold more quickly:

AANGAMIK - supports immune system function and better utilization of oxygen at the cellular level.

ACONITE - shocks the illness and brings rapid recovery.

AZITHROMYCIN - an antibiotic that attacks bacteria by disabling its ability to reproduce.

NOSODE - homeopathic remedy used to immunize the body against a viral or bacterial infection.

TOBRAMYCIN - antibiotic used to treat eye infections.

It's only been a day and a half, but Alexandrite is already getting better. She still sounds a bit stuffed up, but she's eating, drinking and even playing now. I'm glad I nipped this cold in the bud before it got any worse. We need to get Alexandrite and her brother, Onyx, adopted!
