Misty is in the hospital

Please pray for Misty. Do you remember back in late January we had a problem with Misty? (See what could be wrong with Misty under cat health). Well, the problem returned. So I called another vet and MIsty's appointment was today. They ran blood tests and got the results back within 15 minutes. Misty is in kidney failure. My choices were put her down or to put her on an IV and flush her kidneys out. I chose the IV treatment (that's what credit cards are for, right?). They are going to try it for three days and see if there is any improvement. If there is no improvement, then Misty will have to be put down. She's too weak to handle anesthesia, so they can't put her under to do anything exploratory to see what the main problem could be. I'm so upset right now. Please pray that she will pull through this. Thanks.

I's so so so very sorry. :( I hope Misty pulls through for you. I will be thinking of you and keep you in my prayers.


Jennifer

Oh, I am soooo very sorry. Godspeed to Misty.

Prayers are on the way for Misty from me too.:(

Ooooh! :( Prayers and good wishes coming from us, too. {{{Misty and her mommy}}} Hang in there.

Fingers and paws crossed, too. Keep us updated when you get a chance, okay?

Oh no - prayers and thoughts with you and Misty. X X X X

Lynne

Oh, poor Misty - and you!! Prayers on the way from Denmark too
- and keeping all fingers and paws crossed!

Fister & his mum

OH NO! Poor Misty! We will keep all fingers and paws crossed! Please get well soon.

We will be praying for you too Misty and Mom. Get well soon!!

Oh no, I, this is very sad news...:( But Steno, my Fritz (RB) was diagnosed with kidney failure. I opted for the subcutaneous IV therapy and we were lucky to have him with with us for a quite a while, comfortable and stable and happy. I will be praying with all my might for precious Misty. All of my family will be. Bless you little Misty. Hang in there sweet girl. Love, Sandra

Thank you all for your replies. Sandy, you post made me feel a lot better about my decision. They just called me about 15 minutes ago and said that Misty is hanging out in the back of her cage pretending that she's not there. We're going to go visit her tomorrow. They're going to do another test Wednesday morning to see if her numbers dropped any. I'll keep you posted.

It's very strange being able to type this whole post without having to move her off the keyboard and delete all the funny letters she typed in while walking on it. :(

Awwww. {{{Stenograsaurus; Misty}}} :(

Im thinking of your baby ((((Misty))))) I hope the flushing works for her....

I'm so sorry to hear about Misty, poor girl! Lots of good vibes on the way from Blegium, hopefully Misty will be okay soon! Keep us updated!

((((((((((((Misty+family)))))))))))))

I'm so sad to hear this. I will pray for Misty too. :(

I'll keep you and Misty in my prayers.
All your extra-care and the IV therapy should work, please keep us updated..

Prayers galore to little Misty -poor baby hope she'll pull through this - she's obviously loved so very much.

Oh, I'm so sorry to hear about Misty! :( Tubby can relate because his kidneys aren't working their best either, so he says to give Misty lots of extra nose kisses, and big hugs to you.

We'll be keeping Misty in our thoughts and hope everything goes well.

I missed this post yesterday. Beth, we will keep Misty in our prayers. I do hope she will perk up with the iv and feel like coming back home. :)

How is Misty today?

We're thinking of you dear Misty, and your Mommy. We are holding you close, in our thoughts and in our prayers daily. Please feel the love and hugs coming your way. Get well soon, precious Misty.

Misty is doing pretty good. I went in to see her today and was surprised at the difference in her eye color. Her skin was hanging on her, which it had not before. I guess once she started to become hydrated, the skin came back. She was severely dehydrated. I am so thankful I did not go back to the old vet and went to a new one. The old one wouldn't have done all of this for her. Misty had an appetite. When I was there, she used the litter box and missed it and it went all over her blanket. I told one of the girls there so she took out the blanket and gave her a new one and cleaned out her litter box. She didn't put the pellets in, she put regular clumping litter in. Misty started eating it and she growled at me when I tried to pull her away from it. I told the girl there so she fed her and Misty ate all of it. I just sat there staring and thinking of how good it felt to see her with an appetite. I am pretty sure she will be coming home with me tomorrow. I think she's going to pull through this one. She has to, she has all of Pet Talk behind her. ;)
Thanks guys

What a wonderful report. Thank you for the update.....I do hope your girl gets to go home with you tomorrow. I think you're getting ready to turn into a nurse!!!! :) Kiss her for us when you see her next.

Logan

Keep on taking baby steps of progress, Misty! We're rooting for you to be able to go home tomorrow.

**hugs, you special girl!!!**

Ooh, I missed this too yesterday.............and I am so sorry to hear your Misty is sick, but also glad to hear she seems better today!
Please know that we are all thinking of you and praying for Misty.
Please keep us posted on her condition!

What wonderfull news Steno., she sounds much better - I'm so pleased - could she possibly stand a couple of very soft nose kisses xx. Still in my thoughts and prayers.
{{{{{{Misty & Mummy}}}}}}}


Love Lynne

Wonderful News!!!! I'm praying with all my might your little Misty will pull through. You're an angel Steno for giving her this chance to get well. So many other people would have just given up and put her down. God Bless you and your Misty:)

Great to hear Misty having appetite! Sending more good vibes from Belgium

(((((((Misty)))))))))))

Oh , me too , I missed this post yesterday !!!
Like Casper an Kitty , I also live in Belgium . SO with the extra vibes and prayers from the same country , misty will surely recover !!!! :) :D !!! I wish you all the luck possible with her !!

Misty, you go girl! ;)

:D

I'm so happy that Misty is feeling better! :D :D :D

So glad to hear dear Misty has eaten today and is feeling better!! Really hope she'll be able to go home with you! :) We'll send good vibes to your both!! :D :D

Oh I'm soooo happy Misty is feeling better. Eating and drinking are very important to helping her get better, so I'm glad she's doing both again.

Please give her hugs and nose kisses for me when you finally get to hold her.

I hate to have to report that at 10:15 today Misty went to Rainbow Bridge to play with Kilo and await my arrival. The Vets office called at 8:30 today to report that the numbers were worse than Monday, which was very surprising since she was doing so well yesterday. She said that if Misty came home, it would only be a matter of days until she started suffering the effects of the kidneys failing. I said that I did not want my girl to hurt so I got ready and went to the Vets. I held her in my arms, gave her a bunch of kisses from everyone. While she was purring, she was put to sleep. The last words she heard were me saying "I love you". The tears are flowing now. I'll miss her so much. Misty, I'll see you on the other side.

My heart is breaking for you. I was so hoping for a miracle for Misty and you. She is in no pain now and playing happily at the Rainbow Bridge. I'm crying with you. Sometimes love hurts so much but where would we be without it? You and your family are in my prayers.

Dear Steno ~

So very sorry that Misty lost the battle :(.

Take comfort knowing that you didn't make her suffer through an illness she couldn't overcome.

We'll light the Monday Candle in Memory of Misty.

I was so in hopes of hearng that she was coming home tomorrow, Beth. I'm so glad she perked up and had a good day yesterday! And that you got to see her like that. Bless her sweet heart, and yours. I hope your daughter is handling it ok. Little children tend to react at first, at least Helen always did, then get past it very quickly. I hope your daughter will be no exception.

Please know that we will keep you in our thoughts and prayers.

Logan and Helen

Dear Beth. Oh no. I am so very sorry. I was so encouraged by your report of yesterday. I am crying with you too. But I know she must have been very comforted to hear your loving words as she left for the Bridge. You are a very loving and compassionate furmom. I too will be thinking of your little girl. Bless you precious Misty. Please look for Lizzy and Chessa and Tuna and Fritz. They will show you the way. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family Beth. Love, Sandra

Even though we "own" them, they truly own our hearts.

I'm very sorry that Misty couldn't overcome this battle. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

{{{Beth, Misty, and all the hurting family}}},

I'm so sorry to hear that your darling Misty has gone ahead to the Rainbow Bridge right now. :( :( Somehow it always seems too early. I'm misting up in sympathy right now. My thoughts and prayers are with you. It was right that she not have to suffer any more. It was also a treasure that the last words she heard were "I love you". Our hearts go out to you.
