Oh, sweet little Boo.. more prayers and loving good wishes for him, and another candle http://www.gratefulness.org/candles/...ng&cid=8988484
I wish I could do more. Love to you both from us, :love::love::love::love::love::love::love:
Aw, poor Boo! Lots of extra prayers on the way for you both. I know how heartbreaking it is to see them this way. :love::love:
Hi Mary
Just reading this, I'm sorry for all of you, since this is a difficult situation for all the family.
My God its infurating when the vet administers meds and instead of making your kitty better actually makes him worse. But, having said that I hope its only a bad reaction to the medication.
Prayers coming your way

Please keep us updated,
Just a question:
The flur-de-lys shape in the stomach just disappeared right? The only thing it reminds me is of curtain rod finals? Do you have them? Do you have one missing maybe? Then again it would have been noticeble in his stool! But had to ask you!
No, I don't have anything like that in my house. These things were tiny plus, you're right, I would've noticed it in the litter box. I've got a fairly slow week ahead so I'll be able to keep a close eye on him. This is the first day that he'll have been totally off his thyroid med so I will post how he's doing and if there's any change. I can so clearly see the picture of my mother in my mind when her thyroid meds needed adjustment. She would hang her head in the same way and her voice would become raspy and she'd shuffle her feet when she walked. Boo's meow has changed and he moves sooooooo slooooooowly. The meds have turned him from hyper to hypo thyroid, according to my vet and I had confirmation of that from a PTer who PM'd me of her experience and I also read online that it's possible.Quote:

Leave it to my cats to fall into that percentile. ;) It sounds weird but when my cats improve after having been sick for so long it's usually the last flare of the flame before it dies out so I'm frightened yet hopeful, if that makes any sense.
Thanx Karyn and everyone for continuing the good thoughts and prayers for my handsome boy Boo Bear.
Prays for Boo coming!! I hope he starts feeling better soon.

Awww, it brought tears to my eyes to see that picture of Boo. I didn't realize it, but that's how Taz would sit too. He'd just sit there and not move a muscle.
I will keep you and Boo in my thoughts. I hope you can get his meds adjusted correctly and soon.
My boy is just like a limp rag. He's lost his purr. He's always purred so loudly that it could be heard across the room. I started him on the Metacam today and it's also the first day he's been totally off his thyroid meds. I'll give him another day but if he doesn't improve, I'm taking him back in for another stomach x-ray and/or ultrasound.
I'll pray all night for Boo.
Aw, poor Boo.
More prayers for you, dear boy.
Thats the sad thing about Our Cats is that you think that they are improving and then they suddenly get worse and pass on.
Thats what happened with Precious, Bo Bo and John Hancock you think that things are improving and then thryre gone.
We are praying for Boo , and I know that Tubby 2 and Ebony Beau Tubster
are with boo, and helping thier Black Pal anyway they can.
:love::love::love:
Catmandu.......,
that is also normal with people! they start improving from their sickness and all of a sudden...they're gone.
Maybe they make it up not to see you troubled the last days of their lives? Who knows?!
I am so sorry to hear this. I'm praying for you and Boo.
Boo baby! :(
Mary, I SO hope that an answer is found, whatever it is. It's so very hard when our babies can't tell us what's happening.
HUGS and huge PT Prayers going out for your dear Boo, and you also!
It is difficult....but keep the faythe.:love:
I thought for sure that I was going to lose him last night. When I'd pick him up, he wouldn't even hold on; he'd just go limp. I even talked to him and said that if he needed to go to be w/his sister Peeka, that I'd miss him but I'd understand because I don't want him to be in pain. Pidge stayed by him all night. She cuddled up next to him and occasionally he'd get up to use the litterbox or drink some water and when he'd come back to bed, she'd move closer to him. This morning I woke up and found him lying in the middle of the hallway but he was holding his head up, not sitting like a vulture this time. So maybe the Metacam is helping him, I hope. I'll be here all day until this evening when I have a friend's birthday dinner to attend, so I'll be able to keep a close watch on him.
Thanx so much for your prayers but please keep them up. Boo Bear needs them.
