I again apologize for our weekend absence and for our late posting, friends. Though it might not seem like it, I really am trying to get my work and overall life balanced so that I get back to a routine that allows me to regularly enjoy my passions, which include blogging and all that goes into our posts. That said, I've also been a bit distracted with my poor boy Evan.
Don't worry, because overall Evan is doing well. We're just really trying to find the right cocktail of medications and food to get his urinary issues under control, as well as his strange case of both constipation and diarrhea despite all stool and intestinal tests coming back completely normal. This poor boy of mine is such a tough little guy, and I really hope that we can find him a happy balance with the new medication we're trying (meloxicam), the new frequency of his other medications (gabapentin and prazosin), and the new food the vet ordered (Hill's GI Biome).
Of course, given that it's Mancat Monday, Evan is here to say hello to all of you friends of ours! Except for a couple small bouts of pesky urethral spasms and constipation, Evan had a very happy, playful, and napful weekend, and he hopes you all did as well!

Tip of the Day
Keep in mind that, depending on factors such as a cat or dog’s size and health, some furbabies might require special considerations for the setup of their food and water bowls. For example, tall dogs, dogs with deep chests, older animals who have difficulty bending down, and animals with short snouts might do best with elevated bowls that are situated closer to the level of their chest or face. Food and water bowls elevated in this manner can allow for more comfortable eating and drinking, as well as easier chewing, swallowing, and overall digestion. Of course, on the other hand, do ensure that the bowl is not too elevated, especially for small dogs or cats, as having to reach up to eat would be uncomfortable for them as well. So, do be sure to take time to observe your kitty or pup’s dining habits, and to adjust their bowls to ensure they are able to dine comfortably.

Hi Evan ... you're right here puttin' your little nose on our monitor, so we took advantage and gave you some "nose kissies". Hope we didn't get to slobbery! And hoping you soon can say bye-bye to all your tummy troubles.
