    Ralph Syracuse needs your prayers!!!

    PLEASE say as many prayers as you can for our Orangeman, Ralph Syracuse. His pancreatitis has acted up BIG time!!! Last evening he licked his bowl clean, then several hours later, he vomited everything! Barry and I seached over one hour for him this morning, to be honest, we thought he had died. No, he was all in the back of a piece of cat furniture!!! But, poor Ralphie looks so awful!!! The vet has been called, now we are waiting for the call to come in. Last Christmas, we were waiting for a biopsy report, it was thought that he had liver/pancreas cancer. The report was negative. Please remember Ralph, he is 13.5 yrs old and a retired therapy cat, and a really loving purr machine that we adopted when he was 10 weeks old. THANK YOU!!! Sandra

    I am sure that while we were at Animerge, Ralph felt your prayers!! Have been home about one hour. Ralph is in his Grainger box that is full of tissue paper that he has squished down. His lab work is a mess! The doctor thought he might be seeing some fluid around his heart. Ralph has a Grade 3/4 cardic murmur, so that is not good. He was hydrated with some Lactated Ringer's since he is dehydrated. At this point he is refusing to eat even baby food. I have some I/D from the vet, so if I have to force feed him!! Please keep Ralph in your prayers!!! God Bless you all for your thoughts and prayers!! Sandra

    Thank you all for your prayers and wishes for Ralph!!! He looks a bit more alert, in fact, he got out of his Grainger box for a few minutes. However, when I take him to the vet tomorrow, I think Dr. Ascher and I will discuss a feeding tube for Ralph. I tried to slowly syringe about 30cc's(one ounce) of I/D into him, and he promptly threw it all up. He has some more fight in him, so giving him fluids later might be a challenge!! I glad of that, that means he has not given up!!! God Bless you all!!!! Sandra

    Get well, Orange cat

    I very seldom venture off the Cat of the Day page, but after learning about Ralph through a private message, I am here, to add my solace and concern and a little prayer for an orange cat.

    Get well, Ralph.
