Happy November! Where did October go?!
If you visited last week you know my cat Dottie was not feeling very well and our usual vet said if she was not feeling better we would have to take her to a veterinary hospital. Unfortunately we reached that point and we spend a good part of last Thursday there. Fortunately she was able to come home with three prescriptions and I have been trying a large variety of foods and treats to try to cajole her into eating including baby food (suggested by the vet tech who helped with her first dose of meds). We were able to get her to eat, but over the few days of feeling better, her tastes have changed and we keep trying new things. Luckily her sister Grace is around to eat some of the food Dottie did not find appealing. Fingers crossed that Dottie continues to feel better and Grace does not gain too much weight.
As we are heading into the busy holiday season I am anticipating that there may be some "pop-up" CTMH specials. For the past few years CTMH had Black Friday and Cyber Monday specials. To keep up with all of the news, be sure to sign up for the messages from the Corporate Office (how-to below).
