Tragedy at the Layne household... VIDEO ADDED POST 177!

Thank you all so much again.

Hugs, kisses, and love has been passed onto Andy.:D

Mary, I do feel this Thanksgiving will be more special than all of my others! I am so blessed.

Diana, He isnt half as crazy about me as I am him. :love:

Crystal, His appointment is tomorrow at 2pm. I hate taking him back, but it must be done. Hopefully it will be over quickly, and he wont have to go back again for a year! He really gets nervous at the vets office, and it scares me that his heart rate will go up again. But I must do it, we gotta get that ear fixed!

I know I have asked for alot, but can I please get a few prayers that tomorrow will go smoothly and as less traumatic as possible?

Thanks again guys! Katie and Andy

PS- I also have to take Billy, as he has a half dollar sized ouchie on his neck. It had a little blood and it looks like he peeled all the skin off and it is fleshy and raw. I think it might be allergies... I just noticed it last night, because I have not done nightly *checks* on all the cats for a few days. Normally I give them all a once over before bed, feeling all over them, checking teeth and ears, also for lumps and scabs etc... When it rains it pours? But it will be taken care of with antibiotics and an allergy shot, and probably some antibiotic cream... This isnt the first time, nor the last.:rolleyes::p

I'm so happy to hear and see that Andy is doing so great.

I'm so glad to hear that Andy is eating well and doing so well.:) He remains in my prayers and I hope that his vet visit will go smoothly tomorrow.

Quick update-

Not much to report, which is Great news! Andy is starting to eat ON HIS OWN! Totally on his own, All he needs me for in regards to din-din is opposable thumbs:p Well, that and cleaning his nosie, and squishing up the food a bit:D And maybe a tad bit encouragment, LOL.

He tried to play with Amos tonight, and it was adorable. Andy would STREEEEETCH out on his tummy and swat at Amos; Amos would then lean his front part down, and his butt in the air, and chirp and *touch* the air. SO CUTE!

I have to leave at 12pm, to stop in and pick up my mom, and to get us there on time. I am going to have a very long day tomorrow. But hopefully this is about over, and all will go back to normal. I still have 3 foster kittens to adopt, and have not had the time to try to get them homes:rolleyes:

Anyways, I will update tomorrow after we get home from the vets. Thank you all so much again! Katie and Andy

I am so glad to hear this: good steps every day:D

I am always up for good news! That is wonderful that Andy is beginning to eat by himself. You must be so relieved!! (so are we)

Keep it up, Andy! We're all here pulling for you!!:love::love::love:

Wonderful news to start the day.

I wanted to check in first thing for, hopefully, a happy update and you didn't disappoint me! :) Wow! Andy is EATING and PLAYING! Super! (Love the comment about opposable thumbs....LOL!) I keep noticing that your posts are often through the night. I am sure once Andy is 100% himself you will probably be able to sleep a week straight without waking up! :D

This is my first check-in before work! I'm so happy to see a good report.

GogoAndy!

The worst is behind you and Andy now; everything will be brighter for you each day from now on. I'm so happy for both of you.

Fondly,
Pat

Atta boy, Andy! Things are on the right track and soon this will all be a memory. :)

This is the best news EVER!!! He is eating and playing. Woo Hoo!! Way to go Andy!! :D :D :D

I hope things go as well at the vet, for Andy and Billy. :)

GREAT STUFF! Happy news for Andy and Taz, and Barney is coming right along! (He gained a whole POUND, and with diabetes, at that!:D )

It is so great to have happy news, as there were a few dear kitties who went to the Bridge and it was pretty sad on PT for a while.

I guess now our furkids must have some pretty special Guardian Angels. ;)

A FEEDING TUBE MIGHT BE THE THING TO GET ANDY TO EAT.
MAYBE IF YOU COULD GIVE ANDY SOME BROTH:):), THAT MIGHT BE EASIER FOR HIM TO EAT.:):)
THE FOUND CATS AND I ARE SENDING MORE PRAYERS FOR THIER FRIEND :love::love:ANDY :love::love:, THAT HE WILL BE AS RIGHT AS RAIN SOON.:cool::cool:

What a great update! He's made remarkable progress in such a short time. I just know that the vet will be pleased with how well Andy is doing. Afterall he's had the bestest:D nurse in the whole world!

Hugs,
Mary
