This is the first cat I bought for my wife. His name is Mel Mel. It was about 10+ years ago when he came to our home.
Mel Mel is a mix breed of Birman and Tokinese.
Being a mix breed always got a lot of problem with health. 7 Years ago, he was diagnosed with kidney problem, which flooded his lungs with water. He almost die 7 years ago when he was 3-4 years old.
He is very nice cat. I like him. (Better than that si-si Molly, another cat of mine, who is a Ragdoll)
Usually on average, a cat can survive around 7-10 years. So, this week, Mel Mel started to have symtoms of major health problem. His lungs got water again. So, we have to sent him to the vets for operations to suck out all the water in his lungs. At the same time treat him, and drip him, etc.
Poor Mel Mel stays in the hospital for several days. Vets give him a drip.
He has been lying in pets hospital for few days, and all the vets guess he cannot make it today. So as a last resort, Vets with our agreement, go and find 六味地黄丸, a TCM that normally cures kidneys illness... And surprisingly, he survive... but still very weak today... so, we have to monitor him more... and he is now at home... TCM very TOK KONG ah!!!
Of coruse, he also taken some kidney medicines too..
Poor Mel Mel... I think he suffers a lot...
Mel Mel, please get well soon. Hope you can make it...
Here are some info about the TCM (in Chinese)
