PT prayers for Ripley please - update post #9

[jazzcat]

I am so sorry to hear that you have another pet that is having some cognition problems.

It's not just pets either. I'm caring for my father who has Dementia and possibly Alzheimer's. I'm beginning to think it is me, I must be a carrier.

((((((((((((HUGS)))))))))))) Lori!!! I'm so sorry that Ripley is feeling so poorly and you are having to deal with him along with your dear Dad. Maybe you could put a box fan in the garage so he could lie in front of it if he gets too hot! We also put a window A/C in ours and it works really well. Don't know if you have a window in your garage or not though.

E-mail me anytime you need to vent!

Hugs,
Kim

Lori,

Most, if not all, pharmacists nowadays can compound ANY medication into cream or liquid (w yummy chicken flavor) delivery methods. We even have a compounding ONLY pharmacy here that I would get Micah's meds at because with his tooth owies there was no way I'd force med meds on him. It usually costs about $40 per RX...but thats per RX - usually a whole supply. It may be worth it to keep Ripley calm and happy with some Valium. You can just have your vet call in the proper RX to a pharmacy - she'll even know where the compounding ones are.

I'm so sorry about Ripley's body acting up again. That has to be so hard, scary, frustrating...everything. ((((((Hugs for Lori)))))

I'll be keeping you and Ripley in my prayers.

Hugs, Kelly

I haven't been on here in a while and was just checking in, and I was so sorry to hear about Ripley! My heart goes out to you and dear old Ripley and I'm sending positive thoughts and hugs your way. It was almost a year ago that we lost our Leo much too soon and too suddenly to some sort of kidney failure...I know how frustrated you must be, not being able to help him like you want to, despite the hefty vet bills. Sending good thoughts....
