erastes

Ok - been over to Dad's and Aslan is at least eating. He wasn't eating what I left for him (chicken and rice) and he wouldn't eat what Dad gave him (Cesar) - but Dad bought one of those rotisserie chickens from the supermarket and I offered Aslan a bit which he sneered at but then i pushed it on his nose, and it seemed to kick his taste buds off, as he ate that bit and four or five more tiny pieces. Then he whined! So I gave him a small handful of shredded chicken which he scoffed and by the time I'd left he'd had THREE small meals of chicken - so I feel a lot more happy about it. He's still looking a bit sorry for himself, and his mouth obviously hurts him, but if he's eating then that's got to be half the battle. Phew.

As the pills are entirely impossible to give him as he is right now, I'm monitoring him, and if his physical state changes for the worse (he has bright eyes and wet nose) even a smidge it's off to the vet for an anti-biotic injection (which I don't understand why they didn't give him to start with.)

Thanks for listening to me burble about this, but I don't know what Dad will do without him, quite frankly, although I know he will have to in a year or so.

Off to watch silly Catwoman now.
