Paws crossed in Ellicott City for Ellie Mae....

Carole, I'm so sorry to hear that she's still not doing well. Lots more prayers and positive thoughts are being sent her way. Please take care. (((HUGS)))

Thank you all for your kind and supportive words, they mean such a lot, I am trying to think positive and hoping with all my heart that this works, i cannot loose her, it would devastate me,so fingers and all paws crossed my lil girl will improve, she has eaten tonight better than before but you can still see she is having difficulty, but then i don't suppose the medicine will work immediately.

We got home around 1.30 pm she has slept since then, only waking when i came upstairs with food, and it is now 9.11pm so i think that is good ,she probably is feeling so much less pain now, and that is very comforting to me.

She is just grooming herself on the bed right now, then i am going to pop in to bed and read my book, hopefully she will stay there for the night, like she usually does.

I am counting on the power of PT again, i so believe in it.

Oh I hope Ellie-Mae starts feeling better quickly. It's so difficult to watch them when we know they're sick and/or in pain. Prayers going up right now. Keep the faythe.

He prefers that to the A/D and its a lot less thankfully.

thank you everyone, she is ok today, not a huge improvement,just have to take each day as it comes, she has so many drugs on board, it is hard to say what they are doing for her at the moment, just hoping she will turn the corner soon.

that is my sweet lil girl in the pic below, she is such a cutie pie,i love her so much.

Thank you Melissa and everyone, i think Ellie sure needs all your good thoughts, prayers and positive vibes right now, i am concerned as she does not seem to have much of an appetite, she is eating,but not a lot, her mouth seems a bit improved, but she still is having difficulty, i am really worried to be honest, as with all the drugs she has had,there should be a marked improvement, i should think, i am wondering if maybe the drugs are making her feel sickish and not really hungry, i am puzzled as to why she is not picking up, usually she does and she has not even had has much treatment as this time.

I just have to hope with all my heart she picks up, well guess who just walked in and gave me a kitty rub on the leg, yes Ellie, i think she is telling me more food mama, so i had better go and see if i can get her to eat some more, thanks again all.

Oh, Sis! Pittsburgh thoughts and prayers are definitely on the way for poor Elly-May. Also those thoughts and prayers cover you and your family as you help Elly- May through her ordeal.

I am just catching up on this thread!

I will keep Ellie-Mae in my thoughts. I know how it is to have a cat not eating.

[carole]

yes I went through it with Ash, i had the two of them then, so i just have her to concentrate on now, she really just is not my Ellie ,her purssonality is lacking it's normal fiesty spirit, and i miss that about her, she is a real character my Ellie, and she just looks depressed, i am sure the drugs are affecting her,oh well i can only hope for the best outcome here, and hope that she does a turn around, thanks David and everyone for your kind words of support, they sure help.

thanks for lighting a candle, i really appreciate it, she may have turned that corner today, she came in an scoffed quite a decent amount of food down, maybe i am just to impatient, expecting miracles too soon, lol, not my best quality patience, here's hoping with her treatment and the love and magic of PT my lil girl will be on the mend soon. thanks everyone.

well things are not going to well with Ellie, i have not seen much improvement at all despite the injection and now her chemo drug cycoblastin, in fact i think it is making her worse, day after never wants to eat much, and i am thinking maybe my poor girl feels sick, it has taken a lot of coaxing on my part to make her eat her daily food, she sniffs it and walks away, but i am not having that, and i can with lots of lovely pats and encouragement get her to eat most of her food.

She is probably getting enough but today is not a good day, i could not get her to eat much at all and she just seems miserable today, i am very concerned, and i just don't know what to do from here on, i will give it a bit more time, and then dicuss with my vet, but it is not looking good for my sweet girl,so please lots of prayers,good thoughts, whatever you can spare, i want my Ellie to get better, i am wondering if it is even worth having her on this new drug, if it does nothing and makes her feel yuck, i think it will not be my plan of treatment for her,but what i have no idea, there appears to be nothing else available.

I am fretting for her, and it makes me so sad, i just want to cry my heart out, i love this wee girl so much, and apart from this she appears to be healthy, it is just not fair at all, she has been through so much in her life, and i want her to continue to have a good long life, but it is not looking that way,still i am not giving up on her, might just be a temporary set back,although in my heart i know it is not, but i am trying to be positive for her, thanks for listening it always helps me to share my worries.
