Kia had a seizure

[Freckles]

Here's one reason.!

[Logan]

I had forgotten this, Joan!!!! Thank you for bringing that back up!!

[gini]

I have to share that reading again about Kia as Pet of the Day just gave me the chills. My arms have goosebumps on them right now. Kia - sweet one - please pull through for your Mom!

[primabella]

That story is so sweet. What a special girl!

[Cincy'sMom]

Wow...$300-$500 for one night...adds to an already difficult decision. Not that we wouldn't do anything for our babies, but will you have more piece of mind knowing that if she stays there is trained staff to treat her immediatly? Or is it possible, like Molly said that she may recover quicker at home?

Whatever you decide Kim, I know you will chose what is best for Kia, and the money will work out somehow.

Just talked to Kim (& Kia) in the Hospital -
Kia IS going to stay another night...
So thay can work on getting some water & food inot her via mouth. The IV drip will continue;
as well as round-the-clock monitoring by the overnight Vet Techs.

Kia HAS be Out & About with Kim - they took a stroll outside. Kia is Very Tired now, but seems reasonably *happie*!

Doc is still concerned, but optomistic.
Kim shot some pix of the Patient - and will go back to work to post them here.

I suggested she ask if she could come back later for a visit - no word on IF that's allowed or not.

More as we get it... STAY TUNED!

Prayers for Kia NEEDED!!

Kia is such a special little girl. She's a fighter so I'm sure she'll be home in no time, playing with her dearest mommy. Prayers until she gets back home safe and sound.

[KYS]

I agree with everyone. DON'T BLAME yourself!!
Their is nothing you could have done.
I am so glad Kia is turning around for the better.
Still sending lots of love and prayers your way.

Thanks for the update Phred.

What about if at 5 pm central time (6 pm eastern, 3 pm pacific, 4pm mountain?) all available Pet Talkers say a prayer for Kim and Kia? The more voices God hears the better. Everyone with me?

Thanks Phred.

Thank you all for the thoughts, prayers, and well wishes. And Joan, that was sweet of you to post her DOTD link.

As promised, here are a couple pics of the patient.





She is SO embarressed of that "blue thing" on her tail. (It keeps her tail clean from all the poopy. )

It was a rough decision but as Phred explained, I did decide to leave her at the vets for one more night.

I can and am going to visit her again tonight. The vet will be there till 9 p.m. but I can visit even later than that. The front staff that was there when I left will be there when I get back.

Kia enjoyed her walk (she pulled quite a bit) but it tired her out quickly. She drank half a cup of water and held it down so the vet said that is a good sign.

Mommy is tired! And I bet I have some happy (?) cats when I get home.

I'm so relieved she's doing better! What a scary thing.

[Cookiebaker]

Still praying for Kia. Hopefully tonight will fly by for you, and then you will be with her again. Glad things are looking a bit up!

[Sudilar]

Kim, I am so glad that Kia is getting better. I'm also glad that you have decided to let her stay at the hospital another day. I think she had a brush with death yesterday (you will see when you research this further). It is better that she is watched over carefully for a while. Hugs and good luck to you and Kia.

Kim,
{{{{hugs}}}}, and it will be tomorrow before you know it!!! I am so glad to see pics of Kia, even with the funny thing on her tail. I think the vet tonight was a good idea. Kia will get her supervised rest, and you will get a decent night's sleep, I hope. You will need it, cause I imagine on Saturday night you will want to pop an eye open every once in awhile.

Accidents happen, and we learn from them. Life is too short to look backwards. Your energies are better spent on tomorrow, not what has already happened.

Sleep tight, you and Kia.
