I am glad to hear that your little Peanut is going better. I hope it continues!
She is so lucky to have good humans like you. And we love you sweet lady Peanut!

I hope little Peanut continues to get better! I know that when Tabitha (18 years old) feels a little punky and under the weather, I get so worried and just want to do whatever I can to make her better right away. I understand what you are going through. Peanut is a gorgeous little girl, and I am anxious to hear more good updates on her!

Debbie, I'm so sorry to hear about Miss Peanut. I'm glad to read again that she has seemed to perk up but know that I am sending big time prayers her way.

Peanut, I hope you feel better soon and that the meds help.

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Thank you so much, everyone.

Peanut is doing relatively well....I guess. She is definitely perkier. Didn't beg for breakfast this morning, but gobbled it up when I put it down, and there was no way she was letting lunch go by unnoticed!

However, she is still not consistently using the litter box. She also doesn't seem to be straining as much as she was, so maybe the meds are starting to work but haven't fully kicked in yet.

The vet had mentioned putting her on medicam(?) or something like that - it's an anti-inflammatory. We didn't want to put her on it right away because I didn't want to overload her system with drugs (she's now on 2 different types of antibiotics), but if she doesn't start using the box consistenly real soon, I'm going to tell him we'd like to try the anti-inflammatory to see if that will help. It could just be she will be inconsistent until the end, and that's ok as long as we know that's the way it's going to be so we can make sure to keep a good eye on her when we're here, and make sure she's in a "pee-friendly" place when we're not here.

She is definitely perkier....and that's not a good thing when it comes to giving the fluids. Terry has a tough time holding her....thank goodness we only have to give her 100....whatevers because she sure wouldn't sit still for much more.

Thanks again for all the prayers and good thoughts. I hope they continue to make her days easier.

[momoffuzzyfaces]

You go girl!!! Peanut you just keep getting perkier!!! You humans don't really mind!!! Lots of prayers flying from the little yellow house on the prairie for you and there are 4 cats with paws crossed too!

Peanut, you are a very special girl to me. Your mama, Debbie, and you were always good friends to Mimi and me. I have always thought that you and Mimi were kindred spirits. Please eat, sweetheart, and use your litter box. Your mama and daddy need you to stick with them for a long time. You are all in my prayers.

Peanut is continuing to do well. She is definitely spunkier and even played with her mousie today, which she hasn't done in a few weeks now.

She is still not using the box consistently though, and she really dislikes getting the fluids. Tonight was a bit of a struggle and Terry realized he's going to have to hold her tighter than he thought - yes, fluids spurting everywhere with MY finger getting poked in the process.

Cute story - we've been putting a folded up cardboard box in the hallway to keep Peanut in the bedroom/bathroom area at night and while we're gone so the random pee spots are kept to a minimum. Yesterday when I got home, CJ was so excited to see me and I saw how he had been pawing at the box to try to get out, but he hadn't succeeded(sp?) at that point. This morning right before I got up, I heard him jump over - he had figured out he could "escape." Well.......this afternoon when I came home for lunch, Peanut met me at the door, and CJ was sleeping on the couch! We figured CJ was able to get out, but wasn't happy with just getting himself out, he had to break his sister out too! Busted her out of jail he did. He's such a good little brother. The good news is there were only two random pee spots, and both of them were on some of the puppy pads I have down. Maybe she was showing me she could be "good" while we were gone so we didn't lock her up again.

Debbie, prayers are on the way that Peanut continues to do better. Sounds like she is a little fighter, and doesen't appear to want to give this battle up.

Hope she gets to feeling her old self soon.

What a sweet story about CJ breaking his sister out.

I'm glad to hear Peanut is feeling perkier.
Keep it up sweetie!

[krazyaboutkatz]

I'm glad to hear that Peanut is much perkier and is interested in playing with her mousie. I also enjoyed hearing the CJ jail break story. I know that the pee pads are supposed to have some kind of smell to them that will make cats and dogs want to use them. Maybe Peanut thinks that she's supposed to use them instead of the litterbox. I sure hope that Peanut continues to do well.

[Donnaj4962]

I am so glad to hear that Peanut is continuing to feel better! And I love the story of CJ "breaking her form the jail cell"! How sweet! Keep feeling better little Peanut! I have a soft spot in my heart for you little one, as you remind me so much of my Tabitha! She is also very petite, and older, and has a younger sister who keeps her on her toes!
