I'm never smooching Peanut again!

Poor girl Peanut: at our age we have to be careful with our limbs;)

However I think she'll be ok:)

Thanks everyone. I can't wait to get home and find out how she's doing now that she's probably rested all day. And another thing I forgot to mention was that I think Tubby knew she was hurt because seeing as how she was more imobile, he could very easily have taken advantage of the situation and licked her to death. But he didn't. He didn't lick on her at all, just sniffed her a bit and then left her alone. :)

Kim - I'm sorry if I woke you and that would explain the confusion at first. I was thinking you were an hour ahead but after I thought about it you're on Central time too, aren't you?

Catland - if she milks it at all I'm sure it'll be to her daddy most of all since she knows she has him wrapped around her little paw. :rolleyes: :D

SAS - thanks, that's about what I figured they'd do. And yes, some mornings I walk like that too. ;)

Jazzcat - thanks for letting me know about how long to expect it to be like this. After a week of limping she'll probably weigh 25 pounds just because I'll try and appease my guilt by giving her treats. :rolleyes:

Slick - yes, I had forgotten about Max's leg! I hope he's doing better now too.

Everyone else - thanks so much for the well wishes. However, her daddy will have to administer the smoochies since I swore I wouldn't smooch on her anymore if this is what she's going to do to get out of it. ;) Well.....maybe if I smooch on her while she's laying down instead of me picking her up......

Hey woomie! P: >^._.^<

Ear-lickies at ya ta make ya feel better! I'll even roll in catnip to send catnip vibes. You look like your ouchie is very sore. Puuuurrrr.

Livvy L: >^._.^<

Yes, Debbie ... I am on Central time also ... and was heavily under the "influence" of a good sleeping pill!!!:eek: I'm sorry I seemed odd at first ..... I hope to talk to you by phone another time when I am more "normal"!!! :rolleyes: :D

:(
Poor PeaNutter!
We'll kross Pawz & Klawz an hope you Feel Better real SOON!

Deb ~

I know JUST how you feel!
Many years ago, when Furst Kat Fred was just a tiny kitten -
I was holding her in my arms when she decided she'd
had enough "lovin" - and leaped to my shoulder and
launched herself off into :eek: *SPACE*...

She landed with a heart-stopping *THUD* - on her HEAD! :(
I thought for sure I'd killed her...
But she staggered to her feet;
wandered in a circle slowly *shaking* her head;
gave a couple "silent" MeOOOOOws...
and scampered off! :D

Best anyone could determine -
the Klunk on da Head had no lasting effects on her! :D

Here's *hoping* both Peanut AND Terry forgive you!

;)

Ohhh poor Peanut!! :( :( I hope she's feeling better soon. It's no fun having an owie. *hugs and smoochies*

How are things with Peanut tonight Debbie??

Debbie .... we need an update!!!

It does sound like she sprained it. She'll probably get an anti-inflammatory injection if she goes to the vet.

Phoebe sprained her little leg when she was younger too. Silly furbies!

Kisses to Peanut. :)

I have been so busy at work (yes they are actually making me work this week!) that I haven't had time to post!
I'm so sorry Peanut got hurt! Bless her heart she looked so pitiful in the video. I'm sure within a few days she will be fine though. However Debbie, I do think that stopping her smooches and snuggles would not be a good idea! Kitties must be smooched at all costs!!! Besides, what's the first thing your supposed to do about a boo boo? Kiss it and make it better!!!!:D :D http://petoftheday.com/talk/images/o...es/biggrin.gif

Let us know the pretty girl is doing and we are hoping for just a mild strain!

We hope that our Friend Peanut,is feelinf beeter Son,as The Found Cats hate to see a cat Limping! We Love You, Peanut!

Sorry it took awhile for the uppydate, but my two week reprieve from school is over and I have to fit that into my schedule again.

So last night was awful. If anything I thought she was worse. She would only take two or three steps and then stop and sit down, then lay down and not move. Then about an hour later she'd get up, take two more steps, stop, sit down, then lay down. I was almost ready to take her to the emergency vet again, but knew I had the appointment first thing in the morning (which reminds me I need to cancel the 5:00 pm appointment!).

We were all up in the loft and it appeared she wanted to go down the stairs, so I picked her up and carried her down. Once on the first floor she headed for the laundry room, which leads to the basement and food and litter, so I picked her up and carried her down there. Then about 1/2 hour later I went down and carried her back up. I brought her in bed with me and she snuggled and purred for awhile, then when it looked like she was going to jump down :eek: I picked her up and put her down and she limped off. :(

I hardly slept since I was so worried, but then this morning I almost tripped over her when I went to the bathroom! She had followed me in there and wanted skirtchies! I was so happy! She followed me around a little more, then did the sit down thing. She was so improved over last night I couldn't believe it! Knowing how upset she gets at the vet, I almost didn't take her thinking it was getting better on its own, but then I thought no, she has the appointment she's going. Better to be safe than sorry.

So I took her in and it turns out she has bursitis! Bursitis is when the soft "lubricant" type stuff between the joints gets inflamed. The vet has it himself, so he said it feels like someone is sticking a needle right in the muscle - ouchie! My poor baby! He said it's hard to say if she had this before and the jump aggrivated it or if the jump caused it.

Since she's already on prednisolone he didn't give her a cortisone shot to reduce inflammation. He did say I should give her a St. Joseph's baby aspirin once every 3 days for the pain. He said she should only need one or maybe two before it starts feeling better.

When we got home and she got out of the carrier - well, let's just say I've never seen her move so fast to get away from me. :rolleyes: :( ;) But I did catch her and give her the baby aspirin so she should be feeling a lot better by the time I get home tonight.

Sorry to write a novel about this, but for some reason I just can't keep my posts short - no matter how hard I try! :rolleyes:

Oh, and the vet said that she might need bifocals soon. ;) Her eyes are starting to get cloudy which is normal in older kitties and is similar to our eyes aging, causing us to need bifocals. Terry should be thrilled when I tell him that. He simply rejects any idea that she's getting older.

Awwwww, poor widdle Peanut! She’s just too cute to be in any kind of pain.

Glad she’s feeling better! Now Peanut, you be good and don’t aggravate your poor little bones, ok? And the next time your mommy gives you a smooch, let her put you down! No bolting unless your feet are already touching the floor, ok?

Glad to see she is improving!!

You have to be careful when you get older Peanut!!! Dad has what your talking about Debbie and says the vets discription is pretty acurate. Poor Peanut, no wonder she was limping!!

It's hell getting old isn't it Peanut, but meowme and paw paw are there to give you pleanty of loving, just don't go flying off the handle again!

OK... now I see the update!! Thanks Debbie ... I've been worried about sweet Peanut! Yep, sounds like she is just experiencing the joys of the aging woman's body!!:rolleyes: ;) Glad to hear it wasn't a break though, and there is a fairly simple solution to relieve her discomfort!

HUGS TO PEANUT!

Kim:)
