Boo Bear; I'm worried

Mary - I just can't figure this out, but maybe you have the answer.

Why do they say B injections sting? I have given myself B injections for years, and never had them sting.

I honestly don't know, Ellie, but both vets said the same thing and Slick's vet told her that also.

How is Boo doing? I'm so sorry about the situation, and also sorry you're having vet issues...I just don't understand that one.

Boo had a good night; no episodes. I'm thankful. He deserves peace at his advanced age.

Hmmm

I guess this must apply to me then - "no sense/no feeling".

Maybe it's the alcohol used to swab the injection site that isn't dry, and that is being pushed thru with the needle. That would sting. I don't know - just grasping at straws here.........

Mary - this might sound totally stupid - I have heard stories of RB cats paying visits to their homes and companions. Just wondering if Pidge visited Boo?

Whatever it is, I am glad he had a peaceful night.

I'm so sorry to hear that Boo Bear may be senile.

It's heartbreaking to hear them meow so much and not knowing what they want. I hope something can be done to make him more comfortable.

Many of the things you describe fits on Fister, too. He meows quite a lot during the night and now also in the daytime. He just wants me to come and sit/lay next to him, then he relaxes for a while, but will start again later. He is not even 14 years old.

I will certainly ask my vet about this.

Give Boo Bear some snuggles from me!

It doesn't sound stupid at all, Candace. I've seen Pidge myself since her passing as plain as if she was still here in the flesh. I think Boo has seen her, too, but rather than frighten or unnerve him, I think it's responsible for his having a couple of calm days and nights. I heard Puddy after she left, she had that one bad toe and claw that tapped on the hardwood floor when she walked and I could distinctly hear her walking around the house after she passed over but I never saw her. I've seen Pidge several times. No Peeka, though, but that's keeping in line w/her personality. She kept to herself anyhow. LOL

Maybe Sandra (kb2yjx) would know b/c she's a nurse.

OK - I sent a PM to both Sandra and Gretchen (Grace). Maybe they can shed some light on this.

My bf felt his beloved Tomas walk above his head while he was in bed. He knew it was Tomas because he always walked across the bed that way. Sometimes he changed his routine and walked on your legs, but usually it was right above your head. I have seen our RB Kitty outside in the back yard a couple of times. She loved to hang out by the pool. A true California Girl!

I've never seen any of my RB kids, but I definitely have heard some of them. I know that my surviving dogs, have seen others that have gone ahead, just by the way they stare at a favorite spot of one of the departed for no obvious reason that I can see, or suddenly wake up from a dead sleep, and stare in a corner of the room, or at the ceiling. Gives me chills at times..........

Maybe a vitamin B skin patch?

**krazyaboutkatz** · 02-13-2010, 09:10 PM

My current vet never told me that vitamin B 12 shots sting. I used to give them to my RB Starr and I also had to give them to Ziggy for a while. I know that they don't like shots but I never noticed that they were painful.

I've seen my RB Pepper and I thought I saw RB Starr. I can feel their presence more than I see them though. My roommate has seen both of them many times in her room.

I've noticed that my Sunny has been staring at nothing like he's in a daze or something. He never used to do this. I told my roommate that maybe he's being visited by the other side by one of my RB cats or another animal and they're letting him know that it will be okay when his time comes which unfortunately will be sooner than I'd like.
