Here's
our one year old Red Abyssinian. I walked up on Tulip cleaning one
day and just had to snap a picture. She is sitting there so cute! Tulip is
a ball of fun. She is very gentle, has incredibly soft fur, she loves to
sit in the sun where ever she may find the slightest ray.
She recently had to have a shot of cortisone for allergies. Unfortunately,
this steroid really threw her for a loop. It stopped the itching and
allergic reactions, but sadly changed her personality. She doesn't purr
anymore, she doesn't snuggle, she just lays around and watches off in the
distance. She even stopped playing with her big brother - which she used
to love doing.
My advice is to be very careful with steroids and your sweet ones. They
can be dangerous for humans, we all know that. But they can be dangerous
for our pets as well. Be careful, weigh carefully the pros vs. the cons.
My vet says in time Tulip will "come back around," but I'm wondering how
long that will be.
Otherwise, we still love her a bunch and give her a lot of attention. Who
could resist this special little Abyssinian, Tulip.
Tulip lives with a Seal Point Siamese kitten Anastasia Beaverhausen, our
"big boy" Merlin the Magical Moose who is a kitten as well, and our old
gal Pandora who just turned fourteen today.
