Juke Joint Josephs ill and is going to the Vet Today.

He hasnt been eating so I arranged for JJJ3 :love::love:to go to the Vets.
I thought it was another problem with his teeth, but this morning Juke Joint Joseph was drooling and very shakey.:eek::eek:
Please pary that its not his turn to be An Angel , although I know that that day has to come I am not ready yet:(:(
Thats one thing I will never be ready for:(:(
My Poor Old Joseph:(:(

:love::love:A Lit Candle would be so appreciated. Scrappy Two:love::love: was by Joseph :love::love:washing his face this morning, it was so touching:love::love::love:

For sweet Joseph, prayers and good wishes and healing energies that the Vet helps you to feel better soon! And here is a candle for you, too: http://www.gratefulness.org/candles/...g&cid=10328403

HUGS... Jennie

Please feel better, Joseph! The Prairie Cats send get-well wishes and lots of purrs.

Hay JJJ3 start feeling better, the CREW's prayers are with you.

Keeping all paws crossed for JJJ3!

I'm sending prayers to The Big Guy for dear Joseph! I lit a candle, too! Please get well, Joseph!:love:

Josephs going to rest up until Monday so he will be strong enough for a root canal type laser operation, where the nerve endings will be permanantly numbed.:love::love:
His teeth are very strong , so hes purrfect for this.:D
his visions no longer strong , but at 17 hes still a healthy Cat!!
Hes my Juke Joint Joseph!!
:love::love:

I'm so glad to hear these news. I was so worried:)

I hear that there will be Many Many Awesome Angels at the Vets to make Juke Joint Joseph :love: comfotable and happy.
We hear that they are bringing HH Lady Edwina Rose :love::love: to visit , that will be better for Joseph:love::love: that any medicine :cool::love::cool::love:

What wonderful news for you, JJJ3! Clearly those vets think the WORLD of you, Gary, for all you do for your kitties.

Prayers and healing energies and good wishes that the dental surgery goes well and Joseph is soon back to normal!

I'm thinking of you Joseph, I hope you are home soon and back to nornal, and maybe enjoy a few of those temptations that you love so much! :):love:

Prayers for Joseph and his dad!

And a candle http://www.gratefulness.org/candles/...g&cid=10331405

It's so good to know that JJJ3 has strong teeth. The laser should be painless, and make him way more comfy.

What a blessing to have that new dental intern!

Best wishes for a speedy recover for dear Joseph!:love::love::love:

Hooray! I was so worried all day at work about Joseph. PT prayers have worked again!:love:

The girls all have their paws crossed for JJJ3. :love::love: We will all be thinking of him and wishing him all the best for his treatment.
How sweet of Scrappy2 to be sticking close and looking after him. :love::love:

Whew, that's good news, Gary! I just read this and was nervous about reading on. I'm glad that things happened the way that they did and I'm sure that J3 will be just fine. :love:

I recieved some sad news from My Vet.:(
Josephs had a mild stroke and is having some issues with vision and motor control and will need me to help him with therapy.
I will have to build ramps for him in case he thinks that he can jump the way he used to.
I bet the Other Cats help me pamper My Dear Old Friend.:love::love::love:
I hope that they bring up Whiskas Purrfectly Fishy soon, he loves those.:cool::cool:
But he should be home Thursday, and we sure miss Our Joey:love::):cool:

I herad from My Vet, Josephs gums and teeth are a mess , and he has hyper tyroidism and kidney issues.
He didnt have a stroke , which is good.
Overall hes going to need extensive surgery , but as long as hes going to have a proper quality of life, I will fight for My Best Friend.
JJJ3:love::and I thank you for your prayers:

Well, he couldn't be in better hands, Gary. Until he comes home on Thursday, you have some time to build those ramps, if necessary. Keep the faythe. :love:

HUGS - that is sad news, but hopefully they can still help the pain in that tooth, and you can find some scrap boards or old shelves to make ramps.

JJJ3 is very loved, and his cat buddies will certainly help him heal.

I wonder if a bit of salmon oil on his food will help...I know your vet and his tech will suggest anything that might help him.:love:

I will ask My Vet about that Catty1!
I have a feeling that you are preaching to the converted there as JJJ3 loves Salmon.
:cool::cool::cool:
Theres a special at Wal Mart Superstore on Mewo Mic Market Specialties and I ordered a case for Joseph.
Hes eating those up and looks happy.
Hes getting spolied even more than he does here.
They LOVE JOEY there!!!:love::love::love:

How could they not love him? From now on, whatever Joseph wants, Joseph gets. Get better soon, precious kitty!:love:

I'm just seeing this, Gary, I'm sorry Joseph is having such a time. Prayers things get better soon!

Love and prayers for JJJ3 and uncle Gary from your amigas in Guatemala:love:

What I wouldnt give to have a Time Machine, just for a Day.:(:(
I will bring home chickens and spare ribs.:love::love:
Thats why I spoil My Found Cats:love::love: , I know they are not Furrever:(:(:(

Hi, Gary - and Hi, JJJ3.

Gary, the oil I am talking about I got at Pet Planet. Spring Meadows Fish Oil.

It's been made so it is not stinky - just a slight smell. I had a spare pump bottle that I pour it into, so it is easy to mix into wet food.

I am sure all your Found Cats would like it - it lasts a long time - and it might help their arteries a bit, just like in people.

Your vet might even have the Omega 3 oil for dogs in a pump bottle. One pump's worth is good for 2 large cats (mine! :D )

Hi Mr. Catmandu,
Meowmie and I just saw this now. I'm very worried about my friend JJJ3 and Meowmie is especially concerned about his mild stroke. We both know that you are getting the very best of care for him. Please tell him I'm sending him lots of get well purrs and headbumpies plus Meowmie is sending tons of feel better scritchies and lovies. We will pray some prayers for JJJ3 then go to the candle place.

Your friend,
Groucho

Thank You for the heads up on that Fish Oil Catty 1.
I will look around at Mj Food which carries a lot of heathful items for Pets.
I will do anything to help Juke Joint Joseph stay as long as he can.
Hes a Good Friend :love::love:

So sorry to hear that Joseph's had a slight stroke. Hopefully he will be able to recuperate quickly and be his old self again.

HUGS to you and to Joseph, from me.

A Sad update .
Josephs teeth and gums are in horrible shape and he has thyroid and kidney issues as well.WE will have to discuss the quality of Josephs life once he gives me an estimate on what needs being done.
If Joseph has some good years left I will go for it, if not it may be a kindness to say Good Bye.
I really am torn by this , I pray I will do the right thing.:love::love:
Hes after all My Joseph:love::love:
