Yes, you’re seeing right here! Empty bowl syndrome!
Well, here’s the rub. Or rather, I seem to have a little too much to rub, if you get my drift. We got in car, we meowed, we (the royal ‘we’) threw up at 4pm (very small) remnants of breakfast, we got to vet, we rolled me to the doc outside the clinic, Mme Tardieu, who was masked and had come out of the back of the vet clinic and took me in through the back so I would not have to greet…oh…six or seven birddogs, mastiffs, Labradors, Tuxie and grey and kitten kitties, and even more arriving dogs that I couldn’t identify.
Seems like Friday is Visit Your Favorite Vet day.
Had blood test. Do not have diabetes, do have a bit of arthritis and pain, do have inflammation in gum on one side (where the teeth are – there are none on the other side…sigh) and this is what I was given: Metacam for 3 days, Zodon half tab morn and eve for 6 days, and an herbal powder to help…er…ablutions to be…uh…whatever. The doc says I’ll get better…
I mean, really, is this interesting? What am I doing? Mama’s mama taught her to never converse about one’s aches and pains and the only reason I mention all this is because some anthro out there might have better solutions.
The BIGGEST thing, not to make a pun, is to get SKINNIER and help my arthritis as it’s a burden on the bones to be a balloon. Sounds like the first line of a song…🎶🎶
SO…I am cut down to 60 g wet and 15 g kibble and, frankly, I’m boring you to death, I know.
Am I getting a treat on the Fourth OR WHAT?
Off to ask nicely for a tiny bite of hamburger…hey, it’s the FOURTH! We’re supposed to celebrate, right? TREATS ARE PATRIOTIC!
OMC…empty bowls… the worst nightmare…So glad that everthing is fine, besides that empty bowl syndrome…MOL 😀 Extra Pawkisses 🙂 <3
Well, they ARE a bit more filled than I make them out to be……
OMC, Loulou! We’re bet you’re glad that visit is over.
Well, it’s the CAR that makes me crazy. The vet is really sweet and doesn’t hurt me plus I am a good patient.
Oh sweet LouLou, I’m glad the doc has a plan to make you all better, but an empty bowl is such a sad thing. Best to you and your Mom.
Oh, sympathy is what I needed….thank you.
Great that you get your own special escort and entrance into the consultants. I am sure it is just a mild case of dietryitis. Mrs H adds that I just made that word up, which I have to admit that I might have, MOL
Paws crossed the change in diet will have good effects all ’round’ MOL

I like that word and yes, I am suffering from it, haha. Thank you for your creativity!
I little weight will be lost, a little less food will be eaten, and you will be svelte, slim and beautiful. You will do great – you ARE a tockstar!
‘Nuff said.
TOCKSTAR – I LOVE THAT. Am I really? Wow….maybe should get a guitar, or some groupies….
ooooh I have a bit of arthritis too!! Mama got me some arthritis meds but that didn’t do well – so the vet said to mix anti-arthritic dog kibbles with my regular kibbles – and that did the trick!! They cost 25 euros per (big) sack – but mama says it’s worth it! Mama has to go pick up my vermiguge pill, so she will ask if there’s such a thing for kitties!! Howzzat?
Thank you, Mya, and maman….I’m getting mama to check out our GuruGoogle to see what is out there.
I hope you feel better soon. XO
I’m sorry you weren’t feeling in tip-top shape Loulou. Don’t take the metacam more than three days and tell your Mom to read the package insert. Hugs, we hope the all better finds you soon.
Yes, thank you, Brian, I’m not to have it more than three days and maybe only two, because mama really didn’t like what she read. Even mama and papa don’t take NSAIDS.
That’s good. Hope you’re feeling better super soon.
I am much better, actually, and a TINY bit skinnier….
Oh LouLou – we are glad to hear that there is nothing very serious for you and Mama and Papa to deal with ! There is enough going on – for everybody – right now !
You said it! And I know deep in my subconscious that I should be skinnier…but what cat listens to that jargon?
