Mist Update

Mist has an ear infection.

Last Wednesday we noticed she was walking around like she was drunk.  Literally falling down drunk looking.

We looked up a couple of causes and, of the three most likely, only an ear infection was life threatening.

The other two would be conditions she'd just have to live with for the rest of her life, but neither would shorten it nor really cause her any suffering beyond it being harder for her to get around.

So we took her to the vet and they diagnosed an ear infection.

She HATES the drops, but doesn't mind the liquid antibiotic we put on her food twice a day.

Two days into the course of her meds, she's got her balance back and is scampering all over the table.  The floor is still lava to her, but she's playing with toys, exploring and chasing her tail vigorously.  She still holds her head cocked to the side of the bad ear, but that might clear up as the infection clears.

She's steadily putting on weight too, up to 1 lb. 15 oz. now.

She is a totally binary creature.  She's either 100% up or 100% down...

She's been having peaceful interactions with Shadow too.
