Juke Joint Josephs ill and is going to the Vet Today.

[catmandu]

He hasnt been eating so I arranged for JJJ3 :love::love:to go to the Vets.
I thought it was another problem with his teeth, but this morning Juke Joint Joseph was drooling and very shakey.:eek::eek:
Please pary that its not his turn to be An Angel , although I know that that day has to come I am not ready yet:(:(
Thats one thing I will never be ready for:(:(
My Poor Old Joseph:(:(

[catmandu]

:love::love:A Lit Candle would be so appreciated. Scrappy Two:love::love: was by Joseph :love::love:washing his face this morning, it was so touching:love::love::love:

[phesina]

[katladyd]

I'm sending prayers to The Big Guy for dear Joseph! I lit a candle, too! Please get well, Joseph!:love:

[catmandu]

Josephs going to rest up until Monday so he will be strong enough for a root canal type laser operation, where the nerve endings will be permanantly numbed.:love::love:
His teeth are very strong , so hes purrfect for this.:D
his visions no longer strong , but at 17 hes still a healthy Cat!!
Hes my Juke Joint Joseph!!
:love::love:

[Barbara]

I'm so glad to hear these news. I was so worried:)

[catmandu]

I hear that there will be Many Many Awesome Angels at the Vets to make Juke Joint Joseph :love: comfotable and happy.
We hear that they are bringing HH Lady Edwina Rose :love::love: to visit , that will be better for Joseph:love::love: that any medicine :cool::love::cool::love:

[phesina]

What wonderful news for you, JJJ3! Clearly those vets think the WORLD of you, Gary, for all you do for your kitties.

Prayers and healing energies and good wishes that the dental surgery goes well and Joseph is soon back to normal!

[CultureJunky]

I'm thinking of you Joseph, I hope you are home soon and back to nornal, and maybe enjoy a few of those temptations that you love so much! :):love:

[cassiesmom]

Prayers for Joseph and his dad!

And a candle http://www.gratefulness.org/candles/message.cfm?l=eng&cid=10331405

[Catty1]

It's so good to know that JJJ3 has strong teeth. The laser should be painless, and make him way more comfy.

What a blessing to have that new dental intern!

Best wishes for a speedy recover for dear Joseph!:love::love::love:

[katladyd]

Hooray! I was so worried all day at work about Joseph. PT prayers have worked again!:love:

[Killearn Kitties]

The girls all have their paws crossed for JJJ3. :love::love: We will all be thinking of him and wishing him all the best for his treatment.
How sweet of Scrappy2 to be sticking close and looking after him. :love::love:

[Medusa]

Whew, that's good news, Gary! I just read this and was nervous about reading on. I'm glad that things happened the way that they did and I'm sure that J3 will be just fine. :love:

[catmandu]

I recieved some sad news from My Vet.:(
Josephs had a mild stroke and is having some issues with vision and motor control and will need me to help him with therapy.
I will have to build ramps for him in case he thinks that he can jump the way he used to.
I bet the Other Cats help me pamper My Dear Old Friend.:love::love::love:
I hope that they bring up Whiskas Purrfectly Fishy soon, he loves those.:cool::cool:
But he should be home Thursday, and we sure miss Our Joey:love::):cool:

I herad from My Vet, Josephs gums and teeth are a mess , and he has hyper tyroidism and kidney issues.
He didnt have a stroke , which is good.
Overall hes going to need extensive surgery , but as long as hes going to have a proper quality of life, I will fight for My Best Friend.
JJJ3:love::and I thank you for your prayers:

[Medusa]

Well, he couldn't be in better hands, Gary. Until he comes home on Thursday, you have some time to build those ramps, if necessary. Keep the faythe. :love:

[Catty1]

HUGS - that is sad news, but hopefully they can still help the pain in that tooth, and you can find some scrap boards or old shelves to make ramps.

JJJ3 is very loved, and his cat buddies will certainly help him heal.

I wonder if a bit of salmon oil on his food will help...I know your vet and his tech will suggest anything that might help him.:love:

[catmandu]

I will ask My Vet about that Catty1!
I have a feeling that you are preaching to the converted there as JJJ3 loves Salmon.
:cool::cool::cool:
Theres a special at Wal Mart Superstore on Mewo Mic Market Specialties and I ordered a case for Joseph.
Hes eating those up and looks happy.
Hes getting spolied even more than he does here.
They LOVE JOEY there!!!:love::love::love:

[katladyd]

How could they not love him? From now on, whatever Joseph wants, Joseph gets. Get better soon, precious kitty!:love:

[Pinot's Mom]

I'm just seeing this, Gary, I'm sorry Joseph is having such a time. Prayers things get better soon!

Love and prayers for JJJ3 and uncle Gary from your amigas in Guatemala:love:

[catmandu]

What I wouldnt give to have a Time Machine, just for a Day.:(:(
I will bring home chickens and spare ribs.:love::love:
Thats why I spoil My Found Cats:love::love: , I know they are not Furrever:(:(:(

[Catty1]

Hi, Gary - and Hi, JJJ3.

Gary, the oil I am talking about I got at Pet Planet. Spring Meadows Fish Oil.

It's been made so it is not stinky - just a slight smell. I had a spare pump bottle that I pour it into, so it is easy to mix into wet food.

I am sure all your Found Cats would like it - it lasts a long time - and it might help their arteries a bit, just like in people.

Your vet might even have the Omega 3 oil for dogs in a pump bottle. One pump's worth is good for 2 large cats (mine! :D )

[momcat]

Hi Mr. Catmandu,
Meowmie and I just saw this now. I'm very worried about my friend JJJ3 and Meowmie is especially concerned about his mild stroke. We both know that you are getting the very best of care for him. Please tell him I'm sending him lots of get well purrs and headbumpies plus Meowmie is sending tons of feel better scritchies and lovies. We will pray some prayers for JJJ3 then go to the candle place.

Your friend,
Groucho

[catmandu]

Thank You for the heads up on that Fish Oil Catty 1.
I will look around at Mj Food which carries a lot of heathful items for Pets.
I will do anything to help Juke Joint Joseph stay as long as he can.
Hes a Good Friend :love::love:

[jennielynn1970]

So sorry to hear that Joseph's had a slight stroke. Hopefully he will be able to recuperate quickly and be his old self again.

HUGS to you and to Joseph, from me.

[krazyaboutkatz]

[catmandu]

A Sad update .
Josephs teeth and gums are in horrible shape and he has thyroid and kidney issues as well.WE will have to discuss the quality of Josephs life once he gives me an estimate on what needs being done.
If Joseph has some good years left I will go for it, if not it may be a kindness to say Good Bye.
I really am torn by this , I pray I will do the right thing.:love::love:
Hes after all My Joseph:love::love:

[katladyd]

Gary, I know you will do what you feel is best. If he can enjoy life afer treatment, then go for it. If he would still be suffering, his time may have come. You both are in my prayers.:love:

HUGS and many many prayers to both of you.:love:

[smokey the elder]

Melissa

[Pinot's Mom]

Prayers and hugs for you both; I know you'll talk it over with JJJ and will come to the right decision, however hard it may be. :love:

[catmandu]

After 15 years of Friendship and good Blood Tests , I have decided to go ahead and David Farragut once said Damn the Torpedoes.
Hes after all My Juke Joint Joseph.
I know that The Awesome Angels have brought Joseph warm sand and that his one true HH Lady Edwina Rose:love::love: , Eddie and Winnie have brought minced Filet Mignon and Broth.:love::love:
And Cat Familys Mia and Orange Blossom, and Gidget and Tubby 2 a Lobster Roll and MooSoo and Scooter Bug and Ash a Pizza, all diced up.
And Poutine from Lorraines Cat, BBQ from the Kinder Kats and Gumbo from the Big Easy from Lauras Cats !!!
Joseophs a Happy Camper to have Angel and Pet Talker Vistors!!:love::love:

[kb2yjx]

I know you will do the right thing when the time comes. JJJ3 loves you, and will be happy to spend time with his Dad....prayers continue....

[Catty1]

Sounds like you have decided that your dear JJJ3 will get the treatments?

He IS your baby, and has all that support. :love:

Prayers continuing!

[Prairie Purrs]

All fingers and paws crossed here for good treatment results for Joseph!

[Medusa]

We'll keep the prayers coming that treatment for J3 will do him a world of good and that he'll be w/you for some time yet. When the time comes for him to say goodbye, you'll know and will do the right thing. You have a partnership w/your vet and that's a good thing, Gary. Keep the faythe. :love:

[Barbara]

Oh no- I am so sorry to hear that.
Lots of healing purrs for Joseph.

[katladyd]

I'm praying for a good recovery for your dear Joseph! I know you made the right decision because you love him so much. If there was no point, you wouldn't have done it. I hope Joseph enjoys a lot more time with his loving family!:love:

[phesina]

God bless you, Gary and Joseph!

[catmandu]

I called the Vets and the non surgical part was over , the tests and the mediactions for his gums administered and the depol medol injected.
I called and they patched me through to the back where Joey:love::love: was conning the staff out of bits of Cheese Steak Sandwiches and having a Great Time!!!:):)
The main part comes Tomorrow and then he rests until Saturday, maybe even next Monday:D:D
Hes worth more than money to me , hes My Friend, My Pal Joey!!!:love::love::love:

[3Catcondo]

Sending positive thoughts and lots of love to you and JJJ during this time. Prayers going up for a speedy recovery...:love::):love::):love::):love:

[Catty1]

Prayers for JJJ3!

[carole]

Gary i am thinking of you and Joseph, and hoping all goes well for him, i know how scarey it is for the both of you, and I have all fingers and paws crossed here for a speedy and good recovery.

[smokey the elder]

Sounds like he came through like a champ! Older cats can have surgery; they have very good monitoring for the anesthetic. Moby (RB) was senior and diabetic (14 years old), a double high risk patient, when she had dental work and came out fine. Keep mooching off the staff, JJJ3!:love:

[Killearn Kitties]

Oh Joey, my girls have all their paws crossed for their old pal tonight. :love::love::love:
Sweet dreams, gorgeous.

[Randi]

Juke Joint Josepf, Fister and I are sending lots of positive thoughts that all goes well today. Tell your dad to spoil you with kisses when you get home. :love: We wish you a speedy recovery!

[lvpets2002]

:love: I am so glad to hear JJJ3 is on the Healing Side of this.. Get Well Soon Baby.. Your Dad have some soft special treats waiting for you that was sent from my bunch here in Texas..

[catmandu]

The operation was postponed as a Border Collie came in after being clipped by a car.
Thats all right as it gives Josephs gums another day to heal.
My Little Moochers living it up, he had bits of Wendys Double Cheese Burger with A/D and Wellness Kitten!!
Hes not going to want to come home:eek::eek:

[Catty1]

JJJ3 might be getting spoiled with Wendy's bits, but he knows there is no place like home with his Dad, who loves him and will do everything to make him well and happy!:love::)

[cassiesmom]

Continued prayers for Juke Joint Joseph and his dear Dad!
:love:
And a candle http://www.gratefulness.org/candles/message.cfm?l=eng&cid=10366364

[Catty1]

Any news, Gary?

[catmandu]

Hes going under Today as his gums are healed and My Vet now has the 3-4 hours that his surgery will take.:):)
Hes such a Good Cat and I bet that he loves the clinic, he had more freedom that most Cats and was playing with his friends , the lab assistants!!!:love::love:
Whenever he comes home there will be hot Deli Chicken for Him!!:love::love:
We LOVE Juke Joint Joseph!!:cool::cool:

[Barbara]

Filou says. "Mate, you can do it!!!"

[Catty1]

SO glad his gums healed!

3 - 4 hours? WOW. But at least everything can be done well. :)

Prayers for JJJ3! :):love:

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Prayers on the way from here for you both! :love:

[catmandu]

Joseph came through 3 Hours of Surgery very well and was up from up the anasthetic and was MEEEEOWING for food.
:):)
WE will have Deli Chicken Saturday and Sunsay so Joseph can feast if hes home Tommorrow and we will save him some if hes home Monday!!!
It will be great to see My Juke Joint Joseph and its great that My Vets allowing me to pay over 6 months.:love::love:
It will not be inexpensive but Josephs My Best Friend!!!:love::love::love:

[Medusa]

Aw Gary, that's such good news! I'm so happy for you and J3. Give him some extra pets from me and the Fur Posse, ok? :love:

[cassiesmom]

Could we have some Candles for Juke Joint Joseph please, as hes coming out from under 3 hours of surgery.

Hooray for Joseph!!! I know your Dad cannot wait to have you home! Keep hangin' in there, okay?:love:

[Barbara]

Filou sends purrs and says: See- I knew you could do it right away:)

[CultureJunky]

Horray for Joseph, you are such a good older man, so wise and learned in the ways of the vet! Well done JJJ3 we are all looking forward to pictures of your return home to the Found Cat Hotel soon. Thinking of you Joseph :love::love:

And theres a Herbed Chicken dea at Metros so he will have his favorite Chicken to eat.
Hes after all, My Big Buddy!!
My Very Own Juke Joint Joseph!!!

[Catty1]

YAAY! Happy day for JJJ3! I hope his Found Friends are kind to him, and snuggle up in a big cat pile to keep their recovering friend loved and warm!:love:

[krazyaboutkatz]

I'm glad to hear that everything went well and that he'll be coming home soon.:) It's also great that your vet will allow you to pay over a 6 month period of time. I hope he'll continue to do well. I'll continue to keep him in my thoughts and prayers.:)

[catmandu]

My Vet has another emergency so Juke Joint Joseph will not be home until Monday. That means hes going to miss the Chicken Deal from Metros , so I have a good 5 piece KFC Deal , so he will have Chicken from the Colenol Tuesday!!
My Vet Dr Maraslaes says that Joseph loves his Fis Oil, Thank You Catty 1
and looks to have put on weight.
He didnt even mind his complimentary Cat Bath!!!
Will he ever look good at his home coming, I hear a Certain Lady from California will here here at the WELCOME HOME JOEY PARTY!!!
That will make him so very happy!!

The important thing is, JJJ3 is coming home! Hooray!:love::D

[Anikaca77]

I'm so glad to hear that JJJ3 is coming home!

That's wonderful and I'm sure he will love the A/D food! :)

[catmandu]

Josephs home, but oddly hes not eating all that much!
He sorts of licks at his dinner and then stops:confused:
They said he was eating up a storm at the Vets!!:confused:
Maybe its the long car ride home that upset him, but it worries me when his old favorites dont work on him.
Maybe after a few days and his mouth feels better, than he will eat again.

With Four Kinds there , Friskies , Pro Plan and Fancy Feast , I thought he would like something.
I will try to get some Hills Post Operative, ne likes that better than A/D!
Anyway hes home , and ready to be spoiled.
My Big Juke Joint Joseph!!!:love::love:
:love::love::love:

[katladyd]

C'mon Joseph! We all want to see you eating up a storm! Here's hoping he gets his appetite back.:love:

[rosethecopycat]

JJJ3 you should eat your noms now.:)

Your mouth will be feeling SO much better, very soon.

Continued prayers for recovery.

[Killearn Kitties]

Here's hoping that your appetite returns very, very soon Joseph! :love::love::love:
The girls send purrs!

[Pawsitive Thinking]

Such great news :D The family will be together again soon - really happy for you all :love:

[Pinot's Mom]

Joseph, eat your meals, honey. It'll make you stronger so you can feel better. You need to stop worrying your Dad! :love:

[catmandu]

He ate a bit better this morning after I put some Ultra Milk on top of the Pro Plan Kitten and then blended the bowl for 30 seconds.:cool::cool::cool:
I will try fish oil, and hopefully PetsMart will have a sale so I can buy some of that Gravy to perk up Josephs appetite.:):):)
It was a Big Vet Bill, but I forgot that when My Joseph curled beside me last night and puurrred that he was glad that he was home.:love::love::love:

[Barbara]

Filou says: Good move, boy, your dinner will be more exclusive by the day. I have trained mine so they give me fresh chicken. They even serve it to me bite by bite in my bed.

But seriously- I know that look of a cat who just does have no appetite all too well- I hope you find what interests him.

[Randi]

JJJ, I hope your mouth doesn't hurt and you will get your appetite back soon. :love:

Gary, have you tried giving him smaller portions in a shallow bowl, that might work.

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Aw, JJJ3 you've been through an awful lot lately. No wonder you aren't hungry. Please, rest and hopefully you will get hungry real soon with all the yummies I know Gary is giving you.

My cats send gentle head bumpies and purrs to you. We all send lots of :love:

[Anikaca77]

I'm JJJ3 was eating better this morning :)

I hope he feels better really soon!

Melissa

[katladyd]

Good Boy Joseph! You just rest and get your appetite back. Your Dad wants to spoil you with all sorts of goodies! Yumm!!!:love:

[catmandu]

And putting the small portion goes over with 10 seconds of micro waving that
gives that food a nice odor!!!:cool::cool::cool:
He ate the gravy in the TV Dinner tray and the bits of Beef that were left.
And that good cream was on sale at a dollar a litre:) , he loves to lap it up.:love::love::love:
Joseph and I Thank You for all Your Thoughts and Prayers and send You Senior Kittyzens Head Bumps and Kitty Kissies :love::love::love:

[cassiesmom]

Excellent job with the warm gravy and the cream, sweet Joseph :love: Keep it up! Cassie sends headbumpies to her cat-brother-in-law!

P.S. from Cassie: Joseph, please have your dad ask the veterinarian if you may have baby food chicken puree. Our vet said only in small amounts, about a tablespoon at a time, because it can sometimes be constipating to a kitty. I have found that it makes her stools softer (looser), though. But it might be easy on the mouth for you. PURRRRRRRR

[lvpets2002]

:love: Woo Hoo JJJ3.. So glad your home & eating good.. You keep getting well ok.. Bigg Whisker Kissess & Head Bumps..

[catmandu]

My Poor Old Fellow had a realpse this morning, he turned down the Fancy Feast Chicken Pate with a touch of milk.
I am going to ask the AWA to get My Dear Old Friend some Medical Recuperative Canned, that should help.
He drank his Ulra Mik, so that will help.
I so want Juke Joint Joseph to eat and be well.
My :love::love::love::love::love:Cat

You rock, Joseph!

[catmandu]

:love:Sadly Joseph had a relapse and wouldnt even look at his food.:eek:
Lee the Vet assistant is bringing some A/D tonight and will look at Josephs mouth.
I hope in putting a pill in his mouth I didnt open a stitch.
I should have insisted on a medication that could be wiped on.:(
My Poor Old Joseph, please get better.:cool::cool:
We Love You:love::):)

[Pawsitive Thinking]

Oh dear - that isn't good news :(

When my RB Cally wouldn't/couldn't eat I bought her some liquid food from the vet or liquidised her own food and literally fed it to her off a spoon.

Hope Joseph is just having an off day and picks up again real soon :love:

:( Oh I hope not Uncle Gary.. I would have thought with stitchss they would have him on lig meds anyway.. Uncle Gary do you have some Beef or Chicken Soup?? If so give him a bowl of that for the juices.. This will keep him from dehy.. I sure hope the tech comes over soon.. I sending lots of Prayers & Positive Vibes for JJJ3 to eat real soon & start getting much better soon..

Shes briniging some A/D and they said that they would slip in a few extra cans on the house.
In the old days that would have been automatic after a large Vet Bill, but I guess that I am in their bad book by paying in installments.
Its not as if I am a stranger and I am good for the money.
:(
After all I asked first, maybe thats why the bill was not adjusted as it normally was :(

Gary are the pills antibiotics by any chance, if so you could ask if they will take them back and give Joseph a two week injection, that is what i always do for my cats these days, especially if they have a sore mouth, you don't want to be pilling a cat with a sore mouth, and here it works out slightly cheaper, no hassle for you and so much easier on your cat, ask about it.

Carole thats an excellent idea.
:eek::eek:
My Josephs going back in as he has food actually stuck in his mouth, and there are two spots where his gums are bleeding.
They said he was eating at the Vets , yet he couldnt eat Pates that were mushed and hit with a blender!:confused:
To fight the chance of infections and on the side of caution My Josephs going back.
:love:
He will love the spoiling. I just pray its nothing more serious.:(

Gary
Is there an update on JJJ? Is he still at the vets?

[catmandu]

:love::love::love:
My Vet made a 50 minute round trip just to pick up Juke Joint Joseph , something very few Vets would do.
And at no extra cost he will amke sure Joeys all right.
I am ashamed that I doubted My Vet, and that makkes me pleased that he cares that much about My Dear :love: Old Heart Cat!!:love::love::)
I can be a fool at times:confused:

[katladyd]

Your vet cares so much because he knows that you do, also. He knows you give your cats excellent care, so he is more than willing to go the extra mile for you. He deserves much gratitude, indeed. I hope Joseph is all healed up very soon.:)

[carole]
