Celebrating Pee Wee's Life!

[kimlovescats]

I am so incredibly worried about my Pee Wee man ..... I'm sitting here in tears. :( :( :( He isn't any worse, he's basically like he has always been ... but knowing that we are going to test him this week, I am consumed with worry and grief. I know that he was so very sickly when he came to me ... the tiniest of 8 kittens ... and he has struggled so much and thrived for nearly a year now ... I just can't bear the thought of losing him to Felv.

Here is Pee Wee on the day I got him.

He has grown and his fat and sassy and very playful ... but that darn cough is back and like I said, his gums are pale! :( :([

[Laura's Babies]

OH MY GOD!! He is BEAUTIFUL now!! Look at the HUDGE change in him and how he has grown!! I know you worry... we worry about them so much. We will send good vibes and prayers for PwwWee and hopefully, he will test negative!!

I don't know how common lungworms are in your area, but Leslie & I rescued a litter of kittens several years ago and if I recall they all had that cough that came & went. A trip to the vets and they were diagnosed with lungworm! :eek: It is not common at all in Mass. but it may be what's causing that coughing in Pee Wee. Poor little guy has come a long way since that first day. He's the picture of health in comparison to day #1! Lelsie can probably recall the lungworm incident better than I as I've trapped sooo many I can't recall much lately. Kissies and noserubs to Pee Wee and prayers that all will go well at the white coats. ;) Jan

I know you must be so worried. I'm so sorry for all the sorrow you are feeling right now. Prayers and more prayers, that Pee Wee's ailments are not serious.

Sweet Pee Wee!!

We are saying prayers that you will be okay. Maybe he is just having a little flare of the nasty stuff he had when you first got him.

Try to stay positive Kim.

[leslie flenner]

is rare but not uncommon! Please have kitty checked for lungworm! My cricket and moses survived it only because a new vet thought to check. She said they don't know where it comes from, likely raw meat (birds and mice), that momma brings them. It can't hurt to check!

((((((Kim)))))))
Good for you - celebrating Pee Wee's life. Also hoping and praying he has plenty more of it to celebrate after you take him to the vet - that the news will be good.

Gee, when I first read the subject of this thread my heart sank because I thought that little Pee Wee had crossed the bridge. Now I understand. You've come a long way Pee Wee, don't give up now.

I can't imagine how hard this must be on you Kim. Thank goodness for the support of Pet Talk and Pet Talk Prayers. They really do help and I'm sending a generous portion your way.

[rg_girlca]

Oh Kim, little Pee Wee has come such a long way thanks to you.
I am sending strong prayers and positive thoughts your way that whatever is ailing him can be easily treated.
Please try and keep the faith.
We are all here for you.
(((((HUGS))))) my dear friend.

[trayi52]

I seen this thread and I thought the same thing as Slick did!

I will be praying and thinking of poor sweet Pee Wee. I just can't believe how much he has grown, and how much better he looks in the newer pictures.

I hope it is nothing serious, Kim. We are all with you.

OH WHAT A CUTIE!!!! DOM STILL SNEEZES OCCASIONALLY, I THINK HE HAS ALLERGIES. I HOPE HE'S NEG! I WATCH THE PET PHYSIC--SONYA FITZPATRICK--ALOT OF TIMES IT'S HOUSEHOLD CHEMICALS. I'M HOOKED ON ANIMAL PLANET...I LEARN ALOT FROM PETSBURGH 6-7 AM & ANIMAL PHYSIC 7-8 AM. I WISH YOU MUCK LUCK W/ YOUR CUTIE!! I'LL PRAY FOR Y'ALL!!

[Steffi N]

I hope that Pee Wee is only having a flareup of his URI and will be well soon. He is such a darling boy.

[catnapper]

Oh PeeWee.. you can do it! I've seen you blossom in the past year!! You are in my prayers!

[NoahsMommy]

Gorgeous Pee Wee...I know you're a fighter as you've survived the scary beginnings of your life because of your very excellent meowmie. Keep on fighting for your meowmie cause she loves you as do we.

Kisses and head bumpies... :)

[krazyaboutkatz]

Kim, you sure have taken excellent care of Pee Wee and now he looks so healthy.:) Please get well Pee Wee. I know you are a fighter and want to live a long happy life with your meowmie and her family. More prayers and positive thoughts are being sent your way. {{{HUGS}}}

That was exactly what I thought. :)

Just look at the last two pictures of him, he looks so much better. :) I really hope it's nothing serious!

Sending positive thoughts and kisses to Pee Wee. He is such a sweet boy.

[catcrazylady]

Kim I know how nervous and scared you must be. Try to keep only positive thoughts and how soon PeeWee will be back to his bouncy old self!! I'm sure everytime they sneeze you are scared to death because I know I would be. You know that a cat that has had a bad URI can keep having flareups. That's probably all it is. Keep telling yourself that!
We love you little PeeWee and we know you are going to be fine. Kim, I'm praying for you and for PeeWee. I'm also sending giant
{{{{{ HUGS }}}}} to you both. Take it easy and take care of yourself so you can be there for the babies. Keep us posted.

[RobiLee]

Pee Wee is beautiful! I'll be thinking about him and praying that all turns out well.

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Thoughts and prayers going out for Pee Wee. {{{Hugs}}} to you Kim. I know you'll be on pins and needles until Wednesday.

Good luck Pee Wee! Gosh I hope it's just lungworms and not anything worse. :(

(BTW, I've never heard of lungworms before. Thanks QSA for bringing it up - now I know).
