She didn’t even ask for her treat that she gets with my breakfast.Betty. Betty! Don't sleep through the crew in the sagebrush. And BTW, that bowl has YOUR name on it.
*JustFYI and possible reassurance (?) Elvis is a bit off his food as well. But he NEVER misses his treats. Do you think there's a conspiracy afoot?*
*Betty knows.*She didn’t even ask for her treat that she gets with my breakfast.
*Absolutely!*
Betty finished breakfast and has already made a good dent on lunch. No vomit piles. That I know of. Seems we dodged a bullet there. She got the runt of the ondansetron “quarters” this morning. I wonder if that made the difference. Those pills are about the same size and shape as a rice grain. When quartering them in the pill cutter, there’s inevitably one “quarter” that’s smaller than the others because the first half cut wasn’t even. I call this the runt. I try to give her the runt quarter at a dinner time because this happens if she gets it at breakfast.*Absolutely!*
D'ya think Betty could pass the message along to Elvis that eating the good foods is a good thing?
I guess she still needs the ondansetron.
I guess. But so far, so good!Betty finished breakfast and has already made a good dent on lunch. No vomit piles. That I know of. Seems we dodged a bullet there.

Betty has started her spring shed. I call her Sheddy Betty. She may be working on her first hairball of the season. For that matter, Elvis might be working on one himself.I guess. But so far, so good!
No. Just NO.Betty has started her spring shed. I call her Sheddy Betty. She may be working on her first hairball of the season. For that matter, Elvis might be working on one himself.
I’m pulling hairs out of my mouth. I might be working on one too.
Elvis generally smells pretty clean except that sometimes after eating, he doesn't. It's like with humans. I looked at that item and there are a lot of ingredients I'm unfamiliar with, plus SULPHURIC ACID?!! WHATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT??? Must be a trace amount. But why is it there?Sheddy Betty continues to shed. But there has been no hairballs yet. Knock on wood.
We had our first warm night and wouldn't you know it? Betty was trying to hug me like the radiator I didn't need last night.
I bought her BestLife4Pets Oral Health. I'm not sure what to make of it. But it seems harmless enough. One of those might help, probably won't hurt kind of things. Her breath has been stinky which means there's probably more to that story. But doc said her mouth looked pretty good last time. Who knows? I want to finish paying my taxes this year before I make an appointment with a dental specialist. I know the wait is probably three months. But I don't want to be caught by surprise with an earlier appointment and not being sufficiently back to positive cash flow.
This is what I found on why sulfuric acid might be in there:Elvis generally smells pretty clean except that sometimes after eating, he doesn't. It's like with humans.

Good luck on the taxes.
My CPA handles that, but I do know that I paid more when drumpf was in charge than when he wasn't. So much for being on the side of the little & middle guy, eh?

Yeah, that happens here, too -- a regurge and a little liquidy follow-up. So now you're both on your way to a (hopefully!) nice, peaceful, comfortable, gastronomically satisfying weekend.Boo!
Stepped in a treat regurg pile. I don’t remember hearing this ejection. But it sort of explains why breakfast is still untouched. While I was cooking my breakfast, I told her “no treats before eats” and she eventually sulked off to sit with the radiator. Your guess is as good as mine how the rest of this morning is going to play out. (Or where the second spit is because she always spits in pairs.
EDIT: Found the second spit. It really was just a spit having ejected the only solids (a kibble and a Greenie) just a few feet away.
! 
was so big. 
Into a baggie it went. I sealed it and then squished it around and found some dense hairballs in there. I did not see carpet which was what I was really worried about.
Yup, me too. Geoffrey always has 2 consecutive vomits.. the main one and another smaller one. It comes in pairs. I always look for the second one.Boo!

That's PURRogress! I often brush Elvis multiple times a day with the slicker brush, because he LOVES it. He actually comes and asks for it. Also, combies with the flea comb. But yeah, it's shedding season now! so Betty is bound to have a greater output than earlier in the year.

IDK how it would work for you, but I had a Dirt Devil refurb that lasted me for about 8 years. It was wonderful. But it finally rebelled, at which point I went back on their site and called them, explaining the situation. They offered me a great deal. And the bagless vac I bought from them cleans as well, or better than, a Dyson, for a fraction of the price. It's easy to empty and reassemble. My roomie's Dyson was always packing up and didn't hold a charge very well. I don't like cordless vacs anyway. And I will not pay hundreds for a vacuum. But that's just me.1.800.321.1134 is their # and you can look at what they have on www.dirtdevil.com if you want.

but just giving Cindy my personal anecdote in case it is helpful.*
