I have not mentioned to much about her since I have been home this time.. I have tried and tried to post about her but just cry to hard when I start. I have spent 2 of the last 3 nights holding her and crying just about all night.
I know all of you have heard me say that she is worse a number of times. All those numbers are catching up with her. Since her 3rd birthday, she had made a drastic spiral downward. Remember me saying in November that the vet used the word "paralysis" with her.. "Yes, that paralysis seems to be spreading".. It has gotten worse since then... She is no longer able to get into any litter box and squat to do her business, her legs just won't hold her up long enough so all her business is being done laying down.
She has been extreemely jerky and trembley, her back legs unable to carry her hardly anywhere before she falls over, her front legs are weaker too. I am so scared at how fast this is happening to her, I thought we'd have so many more years together. She no longer trys to get on the furniture, I have moved her famous red, cat faced bed to the floor for her. Anytime she get off the floor, it is beacuse I picked her up and put her in the chair, on the sofa or in my bed and once there she stays.
I went by the vets today to see what we can do and see if there is ANYONE close by who could keep her when I go to work because I think she needs around the clock monitoring now. She said maybe we can try steroid pills but that would be a trade off on her health later down the road so here we are talking quality verses quanity. Since her declines have been marked by her birthdays, I think the next birthday will render her completely helpless if they continue like they have in the past. She is going to talk to the vet and call me tomorrow. She did say she would give me a discount if I would like to board her with them while I am working and they could monitor her close while I am gone. I may have to look into that further. I WOULD like for them to monitor her, even if it is just for a few days and see if they could offer me any ideas or suggestions. I am open if any of you have any to offer.
I got the puppy pads for her to do her business on but what about cleaning her up afterwards? Alicia said just to use a warm wet washrag, is that enough? Chester keeps smelling her, off and on all day, he goes and sniffs her and he too, has cried all night, every night since I brought the girls home. Soft, sweet cry's that I have never heard from him before. He is acting so strange that I can't figure it out, other than he knows too, and is having a hard time dealing with it.
Can I ask for some of those powerful PT prayers for my sweet little Amy baby?
