...Mackie update, 2.0

Mackie's home... but not at all "himself"...



he's weak & unsteady on his feet...
but since he ate Saturday...
and the catheter needed to come out...
he's been sent home to see how he does...

the vet sent along a box of Clavamox[amoxicillin]...
which Mackie did NOT want to take, spitting most of it out...
I opened a can of his favorite food...
he licked the gravy, but didn't actually eat any of it...



his ears were really yellow with the jaundice...
as you can see, they are not now...
but he doesn't feel good...
he feels normal to pick up...
but has NO energy and just wants to lay still...



he was here until Molly decided SHE wanted to be here...
so Mackie moved up onto the cat tree...
[there's a shelf just above & to the left of this shot...]
he seems to be able to get where he wants to go...
I found him in the window sill earlier...

we'll just have to see if he "perks up" at home...
he's only 10... & my buddy...

I hope he'll have more good years with us here...
