I fear that my senior Boo is on his decline; *Update #109; 10/13

I'm sorry to hear that he's so sick. I hope he'll feel better soon and recover quickly. I also hope that his URI won't spread to any of your other cats.

I was concerned about that, too, but Dr. Lash feels that this could be an allergy or a reaction to turning the furnace on. She sees a lot of that at this time of year. I'm hoping.

Boo had a pretty good night last night. He hardly sneezed at all and no more going to the litter box every ten minutes, then to the water fountain. He slept most of the time. That Convenia is working fast! I hope that his day is just as good. The ol' guy deserves it. Plus I'll be in Columbus all day and wouldn't have left if he hadn't improved but I feel ok about leaving now that I see he's feeling so much better.

Poor Boo and his Mom! It is so streeful on US when one of our babies are so sick because we love them so much. I hope he improves more every day and gets over all this.. Prayers for him are on their way.

Boo has been leaking urine. He apparently can't always make it to the litter box. So I took him this morning and, thankfully, Dr. Lee was in. He gave me Orbax for him b/c he said that Convenia works great on URI's but not always well enough w/UTI's.

I also had to take Creamsicle in b/c her scabs are back. Dr. Lee told me that if I was only giving her one tablet of Medrol a week that I could stop it altogether and see how she does. Well, I saw. It was a matter of two weeks and the frantic grooming clued me in. Her back had a spot that was scabby and if I gave a gentle tug on her fur, it came out in clumps. So she got a depo shot this morning before the scabs took over.

Cgirl has definitely taken up the mantel from Puddy. I had to literally dump her out of the carrier. She hissed, growled and spit like a Tasmanian devil. She would've made Puddy proud. LOL Plus she yowled the entire drive there and back. She's such a sweet little thing until she gets put into a carrier. Then look out!

Been a great week. Ah well, hopefully this will be the last of it for a while. As long as all in my Fur Posse are doing ok, I'm happy.

Hey Mary,

My RB Mollie Rose was on Orbax and Interferon and it got rid of her projectile sneezing. It worked really well. Interferon is a drug that is taken by AIDs patients.

Boo is doing so much better now. No more sneezing and no more urine leakage. He even became curious and was walking around the house last night, looking out windows, etc. He hadn't done that in days b/c he was so sick. I can tell that he isn't up to snuff yet but there's a big improvement so I'm happy.

[Pinot's Mom]

Good job, Boo! Keep it up! Hugs from Ellicott City!

[krazyaboutkatz]

I'm so glad to hear that he's doing much better. Hopefully he'll continue to do well from now on.

[katladyd]

Just keep getting better, Boo. Kisses and love from me and the boys.

[phesina]

Such good news about Boo! You go, beloved boy!

[gini]

Mary, you are overdue for good news on Boo - and I am glad to read it!

I will keep him in my prayers though that the good news continues.

Boo had a rough night last night, back and forth to the litter box. He started leaking urine again so I called Dr. Lee and he said to bring him right in. Boo was blocked so Dr. Lee sedated him and inserted the catheter and he said that there was tissue in Boo's urine. Dr. Lee did an ultrasound and found a tumor on the bladder; it's so big that Boo has many more days like today in store for him. He's always been so healthy and he's the epitome of the laid back cat so at his advanced age of 19, I don't want to put him through that. Tomorrow at 11:20 AM I'll be helping him to the Bridge. Now to tell my son. Boo is his heart kitty. This one's gonna hurt a lot.
