I fear I may be losing my Puddy.

[Medusa]

I posted yesterday that Puddy had to go back on the SQ fluids every other day again because she backslid. And yesterday she vomited, only twice but one of the times was quite forceful. Her appetite has been great up until yesterday. She hasn't eaten a thing, this morning either. I brought her in bed w/me and she didn't want to be touched AT ALL. So I let her alone and just once in a while patted her for comfort. No noggin noogies; she pulled away when I tried. She's going in to see Dr. Lee today for the BUN series and creatinine levels. She's purring, I'll give 'er that. But it's different this time somehow. She didn't want to go downstairs w/me when I got up this morning, so I left her in bed and looked back at her before I left the room. She lifted her head and looked at me and we held each other's gaze. And I got this eerie feeling that it was a goodbye look. Maybe I'm being melodramatic, I don't know. I just checked on her a minute ago and she was just lying in bed but she purred when I touched her.

Please, friends, my Puddy needs your prayers now more than ever. I'm really, really scared.

Blessings,
Mary

All my thoughts and best wishes will be with you and Puddy today. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Oh no! I am so sorry. I am afraid the purring is not a good sign because cats in distress also purr for their own comfort.

I send all my best thoughts for Puddy. Filou told me to send some more from him.

Brody and I send lots of love to you and Puddy

I know that cats purr sometimes no matter what, so purring isn't always a good sign. But Puddy is different and I keep telling myself that it's a good thing. Maybe not. I don't know. She's just lying there like Peeka did before I took her in. Then Peeka's liver started shutting down and she became jaundiced and I knew what I had to do. This is making me too emotional. I'll post when I get home from Dr. Lee's, hopefully w/my Puddy on the mend.

Blessings,
Mary

Mary, I am sorry, I have been busy and not here as much as usual. I just saw this and am so very sorry that Puddy has slipped. I hope it is just temporary and your visit to Dr. Lee will set Puddy right again. Good thoughts and hugs to both of you. C'mon Puddy keep up the fight!

As soon as I saw the expression on his face, I knew it wasn't good. He said "She really looks bad. She looks so scrawny. She's lost over a lb. again." Pud only weighed a little over 6 lbs. to start with, so a lb. is a big deal. He did the tests and said he or someone there would call me this evening when the results are back. He gave me something for her nausea and another appetite stimulant and something to sprinkle on her food to help flush the kidneys. And she has to have the SQ fluids every day now. He said that she may just be having a bad spell. But if her creatinine is way up there, that there isn't much he can do for her other than what we've been doing. And that means more long hospital stays, more IV's, more pain and being caged w/out being home w/me. Unacceptable. So, as soon as I got home, I gave her the meds and her fluids and she went to the enclosed patio and is lying in front of the heater. All I can do now is wait. Agony.

Please keep up the prayers and I'll post as soon as I know something.

Blessings,
Mary
