Appears the desert doesn't agree with Peanut - Uppydate on page 4

Peanut is continuing to do well. She is definitely spunkier and even played with her mousie today, which she hasn't done in a few weeks now. :D

She is still not using the box consistently though, and she really dislikes getting the fluids. Tonight was a bit of a struggle and Terry realized he's going to have to hold her tighter than he thought - yes, fluids spurting everywhere with MY finger getting poked in the process. :rolleyes: ;)

Cute story - we've been putting a folded up cardboard box in the hallway to keep Peanut in the bedroom/bathroom area at night and while we're gone so the random pee spots are kept to a minimum. Yesterday when I got home, CJ was so excited to see me and I saw how he had been pawing at the box to try to get out, but he hadn't succeeded(sp?) at that point. This morning right before I got up, I heard him jump over - he had figured out he could "escape." Well.......this afternoon when I came home for lunch, Peanut met me at the door, and CJ was sleeping on the couch! We figured CJ was able to get out, but wasn't happy with just getting himself out, he had to break his sister out too! Busted her out of jail he did. ;) :D He's such a good little brother. :D The good news is there were only two random pee spots, and both of them were on some of the puppy pads I have down. Maybe she was showing me she could be "good" while we were gone so we didn't lock her up again. ;)

Debbie, prayers are on the way that Peanut continues to do better. Sounds like she is a little fighter, and doesen't appear to want to give this battle up.

Hope she gets to feeling her old self soon.

((((HUGS))))

What a sweet story about CJ breaking his sister out. :)

I'm glad to hear Peanut is feeling perkier.
Keep it up sweetie!

I'm glad to hear that Peanut is much perkier and is interested in playing with her mousie.:) I also enjoyed hearing the CJ jail break story.:) I know that the pee pads are supposed to have some kind of smell to them that will make cats and dogs want to use them. Maybe Peanut thinks that she's supposed to use them instead of the litterbox.:) I sure hope that Peanut continues to do well.:)

I am so glad to hear that Peanut is continuing to feel better! And I love the story of CJ "breaking her form the jail cell"! ;) How sweet! Keep feeling better little Peanut! I have a soft spot in my heart for you little one, as you remind me so much of my Tabitha! She is also very petite, and older, and has a younger sister who keeps her on her toes!

Please continue to improve, Peanut! :D

I'm so happy she's doing better :)
Would using a non needle shringe and buying the pedialyte at the grocery store be better giving it in her mouth like water?
We do it to a new cat (Mia)I brought in that was so dehydtrated that she not only didn't pee because she was so dehydrated but her skin was leather.She's doing great now with just the pedialyte.
Of course it's up to your vet and you though.I don't know what Peanut's whole health history is so I'm just throwing it out there :)
I hope Peanut continues to stay perky so she and you can enjoy each other a longer time.Good Luck :)

Hi all! :) It's been crazy around here, hardly a day off at all, and when that day comes there's things like laundry and cleaning to do - I've never seen so much dust! But I wanted to give you an uppydate on Peanut.

She is doing well - I'm so thrilled! She pees in the box....most of the time. Seems what her problem is now is that she sleeps soooo sound, that when she wakes up she has to pee NOW! So she takes a few steps from where she's sleeping, then pees right there, then proceeds to the litterbox and pees again. But as long as she's awake, she'll trot on over to the box no problem. She's done with all antibiotics and is now only taking the anti-inflammatory, and that seems to really be the biggest helper to her because if I forget it for a day or two she starts straining and peeing everywhere again. I've pee-proofed the motorhome pretty well - couches covered, bed covered, pee pads in strategic places, etc.

She's still getting fluids every other day too. I've increased it from 100 whatevers to 125 whatevers and that seems to tide her over better.

So, all in all she's doing better than I ever expected her too. She's enjoying snuggles with her daddy right now, and we're about to head to dinner so we can bring her back some chicken for a treat. She is still a real monger and eats like she's going to the chair! :rolleyes: :D

Thanks again for all the continuing prayers. I just know they are making a world of difference for her. :)

Great news on Peanut!

We are glad that Peanut is improving and we are sending prayers to your Dear Girl that she continues to do well.
Shes one of our Favorites on Pet Talk,and I know the Tubby Angels are there helping Peanut out.

GREAT NEWS, Deb!! ... Stay WELL, PeaNutter!! ;)

(Pssssst ... Hey Deb - you're not "supposed to forget" the Meds!) :p

Does Sandy Pawz *know* Where PeaNutter & CJ are going to *park* their
Stockings on Christmas Eve?

We hope they've sent their Note to Santa with directions to the Motor Howze.

So - are you going to have Snow or Sand on Christmas?

:cool:

Glad to hear that Peanut is doing better! :D Hopefully things will keep improving!

I'm so glad to hear that miss Peanut is doing better, its no fun getting older. She's so lucky to have her brother and the two of you to look after her.

Hang in there Peanut.

It's SO good to hear Peanut news. She's one of my favorite kitties on PT. I'm glad she's doing better and Phred's right, c'mon mom ;)

Thanks for the wonderful update Debbie.:) I'm so glad that Peanut is continuing to do well.:)

So good to hear that things are going well with you all, particularly beautiful Miss Peanut!

That is good news about our little Peanut! I'm so thankful she is doing well and continues to improve.

She's a little sweetheart!

Debbie, I'm glad to hear the good news. :) Hopefully she will continue to improve. LOL about CJ breaking Peanut of of prison. :D

Debbie, thanks for the update on Peanut. It is so good to hear that things are going well.

That is a good update!!! I'm so glad she is feeling better - and peeing better. ;)

Glad to hear Peanut is better. Tigris who these days gets used to sitting with me and watching the computer while I read and type sends his warmest purrs. :)

So glad to hear Peanut is doing better!!! :D

Way to go Peanut :) So good to hear you're feeling better and spending lots of quality snuggle time with Daddy :D

Hugs to you sweetie :)

Thanks everyone. :)

Yesterday I was refilling their water bowls from a gallon jug of water. I opened the jug and flipped the ring from the cap on the floor, not even thinking about it. Weeellll....before you know it, guess who was batting around and acting goofy with it? Yep, my snotty little girl! :D It was so nice to see her playing again since she hasn't for awhile now. She was batting it around before CJ heard the ruckus and came and swiped it from her, but I think she was ready to sit down and rest anyway. Seems my little old lady has quite a bit of life in her yet. :D

I'm hoping to get recent pictures uploaded tonight sometime, and hopefully posted soon.

This update just makes me smile! :)

Debbie, this is such good news, it also makes me smile! Thanks for the uppydate!

Willie :)

Great news! I am glad out little girl is up to playing again! She is such a little sweetie! Can't wait for the pictures!

You go, little Peanut girl! Nothing like a jug ring to make a cat happy. ;)

Glad to hear our little sweetheart is doing better and feelin' frisky!

Great news! I'm so happy Peanut is feeling better! :)
