New camera day - Nibbler
I got a new camera body the other day, and the rule in this house is that the first pictures must be of pets.
Unfortunately I forgot to switch it to raw mode, so this is an edited JPG.
Nibbler's health isn't great. Thyroid and renal issues that we've been treating for some time, but lately his blood cell count is low (anemia), and he lost a bunch of weight and is now hovering around 8.5 lbs (3.6 kg, down from about 12 lbs/5.4 kg). We had him on medicine for four weeks, with weekly rechecks, and it was up in the third week, but then last week was back down to where we started. :( We have to take a week off with the medicine, but we'll restart it tomorrow and try again.
Oh and the poor guy does NOT travel well. He always gets sick in his carrier, even in short trips to the vet. Always has, since we adopted him in 2014. I had hoped he'd settle in at some point, as we do a lot of traveling in our RV, and he did improve somewhat over the years, but he still struggles with car sickness. Poor kitty.
The picture notwithstanding, he's still active and engaged and eating and all of that, but I'm afraid we may not have much time left with him. :(
