drank Eggnog & Pralines by Butiki Teas
518 tasting notes

I still really like this tea. It’s been a while since I have had it, but since I have so much of it still I need to be drinking it.

Stacy does such a wonderful job with the eggnog flavors.

I’m working from home today because my poor Penny cat isn’t doing so well still. He’s been sick for a while now. The latest round of antibiotics is giving him an upset tummy, and I think he’s throwing it up before it gets into his system. (We give it to him before bed, so we weren’t sure, but I’ve decided that he is indeed throwing it up too soon.) Now he’s not interested in treats, and if you know Penny, you know that’s not a good sign. Well, he’s not interested in some of the treats that normally he goes crazy for. So Penny and I are headed to the vet in a little bit.

I hope your kitty is better soon!

have you added probiotics to his food? I found that my cats recover from antibiotics much quicker if I use them. Vets will only prescribe FortiFlora, but there are better ones on the market that you can get from amazon. PM me if you want more info. good luck.

Thanks for the suggestion, donkeytiara. He hasn’t been responding positively to the antibiotics, so we’re stopping them and trying an appetite stimulant and a round of steroids.

Marzipan

Could they give him an anti nausea? That helped Buddy.

Oh, Those appetite stimulants made my cat start talking a lot and he hasn’t stopped. That was three years ago! Hope it works and keep us posted. We’ve used anti-nausea medication before and that has also worked. Keeping fingers crossed.

MushroomBugg

Aww. Hope he feels better quickly!

Cheri

Hahaha! He’s already a sassy cat who tells me how it is on a regular basis.

Kittenna

:( All too familiar with dealing with sick kitties. Hope everything turns out for the best.

Cheri

Comfort and quality of life is where it sounds like we’re at now. :( but I am not going to make him suffer so I get 6 more months with him. We’re hoping the steroids help him feel better for the time being. He is starting to eat more again, which is a very good sign.

donkeyteaarrrraugh

You are kind to be cognizant of the quality of his life for him, and not for you….he couldn’t ask for a better owner! At the end, it always comes down to 2 words: no regrets. PM me if you need to dump emotions…I’m a cat person that completely understands what you’re going through. :)

Still relatively new to drinking teas, or so I feel, even though I’ve been at it for several months now.

I’m drinking more and more of different varieties of tea.

It’s been a few months that I’ve been on here. I’ve expanded from greens and flavored teas to now I’m all about the oolongs and some unflavored blacks. I’m mostly drinking unflavored teas now, but there are a few of those flavored ones that have a special place in my heart.

Pu-erh is also something I’ve recently found that I enjoy.

I have four kitties and a spouse.
