Rose Greeting and news about Layla kitteh

Rose Greeting  Oil on wood  8" x 8"  SOLD
We took Layla the cat to the Vet yesterday. They did bloodwork and prescribed pills for a liver issue.   A good part of the day today was spent researching how to make a cat swallow a pill (1) and (2) trying to get her to swallow pills.  Coating them in butter helped.  "Milk Thistle" and "Sam-e" are also on order.  Hoping to see an increase in her appetite and activity level soon.  :(

  1. The painting is gorgeous and there's real hope for Layla as the liver does regenerate . I had a cat recover from it myself. Also it helps to wrapping them up in a a big bath towel when giving the pill .... once it's in, gently rub their throat to encourage swallowing .Mostly it's a contest of wills! Saying some prayers for Layla

  2. Thank you so much for commenting Anne. She took a pill on the first try this morning and I can't even tell you what a relief that was. I'm really glad to hear your cat recovered and I'm making it my mission to do everything in my power so that Layla recovers too. Thanks again.
