The Kittening Part Two: Revenge of the Roundworms
Had a bit of a scare yesterday. Miv, the tuxedo boy, threw up and did not want to eat. When we found a sizable roundworm in his vomit we knew it was vet time. Went this morning, and both kittens have now been dewormed. That’s a little tricky because they are so young!
At eight weeks now, they are still adorable bundles of floof, though the floof now has claws and a sense of balance.
It’s Gotta Hurt to Get Better – Right?
I’ve had ten treatments with bailine electrotherapy as part of my treatments for chronical pain. My mobility was visibly better after the very first treatment, and it’s honestly only been going forward since.
Bailine advertises itself as a weight left therapy. You’re given a book which, among other things, discusses common food sense. If you have horrible eating habits and start following these diet plans, a weight loss is pretty much guaranteed. However, my eating habits are really quite all right so I am not surprised that I have not lost weight. I have lost centimetres, fat turning into muscle.
Combining electrotherapy with acupuncture has been a complete win. The electrical stimulation makes my nervous system relax enough that it can be manipulated — and I have no idea how the needles work but they work. They sure as hell work. I haven’t been this mobile in 20 years.
The win for me is the pain relief. My central nervous system and ischias nerve got me on early retirement. I’ve gone from barely being able to climb onto my therapy horse’s back with help — to mounting on my own without much trouble. I can ride 45 minutes a time now instead of 10-15 minutes as before.
It’s worth the money.
