Well it's been quite a while since I last wrote. After we got settled down here I picked up a job unpacking, cleaning, and organizing a family's house. I'm finally done besides everything in the garage. Yay! I'm just waiting on them to remove empty boxes then I can get started on that section and be done!
I had to take a leave of absence though because there was a family emergency and I had to fly back to Wisconsin last minute. Two of my relatives passed away but thankfully I was able to see them one last time.
After getting back from Wisconsin I started back on the house I'm working on and finished with that. Then I tried to catch up on my school work. When I was almost all caught up on my schoolwork Lando got sick. So needless to say I'm a bit behind again.
We noticed Lando has been drinking more water than usual lately and hes been taking a bit longer to use the litterbox. However, he wasnt crying in pain, he was still urinating, and there wasn't any blood in his urine. Then, last Sunday night I noticed he was cleaning himself with his urethra completely exposed. That isn't normal and that was what Ninja was doing before he passed. So I called the Vet immediately and set up a date for him to be seen. In the meantime I kept monitoring him and his urine output. It took two vet visits because he gets so scared and wound up at the vet but they managed to get a urinalysis done. This past Saturday (29 October) we found out the results: Lando doesn't have a UTI nor does he have blood in his urine but they did find a crystal. Our Veterinarian diagnosed him with FLUTD (Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease). Now he is being put on a prescription diet to hopefully break down the crystal and prevent future ones from occurring. He is currently refusing to eat the prescription wet food but we will keep trying. He is already loving the dry food. He is currently using the samples from the vet but we will be buying his dry and wet prescription food by the end of the week.
Now that Lando has been seen by the Veterinarian and we have an action plan in place I can concentrate more on my schooling. I got quite a bit done today and am very proud of myself. I even had enough time afterwards to start catching up on some notecards that I'm behind on. Lately I've been using Cram for my notecards and I am loving it! It's so easy and convenient. Plus I'm able to have my notecards with me every where I go by just installing the app on my phone. I find it easier to make the cards on my laptop and then just quiz myself on my phone.
Well that is all for now. I will make sure to write again by the end of the week!
