Good news: (published 2020/04/25 21:36)
Follow-up observation period has started!
Thank you for supporting Kuri-chan and spreading the words for us about this project.
On 23 April, he has completed the 84-days treatment programme with MUTIAN.
DAY 84: "FINAL" MUTIAN injection
In patient waiting area:
We were waiting for the result of his blood test & abdominal ultrasonography test. Maria was with us (for her regular check).
The result of Kuri-chan's blood test was sent to the MUTIAN supplier. They confirmed that he can be off the MUTIAN injections and his follow-up observation period was started from 24 April.
From the daily injection for the 83 days, Kuri-chan has many ulcers all over his back. There are also some burnt like scabs from the acidity of the medicine, some bald patches, itchy itchy itcheness that he cannot take off his Elizabethan collar, not just yet. But main thing is that we don't need to go to the vet everyday anymore!
However, on the last day of treatment after coming home, we realised that we had forgotten to give him the antibiotic injection for his anti-suppuration, we had to go back to the vet in that evening...
Sorry for the second visit, Kuri-chan! No wonder he was so moody about this...
I am so proud of Kuri-chan that he has been so gentle and so partient all the way through those 84 days. In this period, he has never ever attacked, bitten nor scratched us back during the treatment desipite the MUTIAN injection being so painful.
Of course, with the MUTIAN injections, he screamed badly, but with a regular antibiotic injection or a blood test, his reaction is almost none.
To be honest, we wouldn't know how to manage those 84 days if he was a short-tempered cat.
Kuri-chan is now off the MUTIAN injections, but we are still feeding him every 90 to 180 mins with the a/d canned food (the prescription diet food). Each serving is about one large spoonful (with more than one spoonful, he often starts to show the sign of purging while he rests, so we stick to the single serving).
Kuri-chan demands his food 24 hours around the clock, and if I am in bed, he gets on me and does make me serve him... Though lately, he seems happy eating a few pebbles of dry food between my servings, and certainly, his appatite is coming back slowly as before.
Some scheduled visits to the vet are:
- in 2 weeks time, antibiotic injection,
- in 1 month, 1st blood test,
- in 3 months, 2nd blood test.
Here is a picture of some return goods;
Some of you have kindly declined your return goods and offered us to spend your contributions more towards Kuri-chan's medications. But if you change your mind, we are happy to send you the corresponding goods. Please let us know!
Kuri-chan did so well in the last three months with the treatment, but he still suffers from some purgings and his itchy back, etc. I will keep adore him as much as possible, and I will try my best to spoil him for the next three months observatoin period.
This re-project end is due in 4 days (finisihng on 29 April), and we appreciate if you can keep spreading the words.
Thank you.
Love from Maiko Kyougoku
