    I was also going to ask if it would be better for you to bring her home.. the stress of being there could slow down her healing maybe? At home where she is comfortable with Mommie, I think she would feel so much better. If it is no longer life threatening... wouldn't that be the best thing for her?

    Also, in humans, they want physical therapy to start as soon as possiable.. maybe that needs to be started to keep those muscles strong and to remind them what they are suppose to do?

    If in the end, you may have to make that horriable decision, wouldn't it be better to give her this chance if the vet thinks bringing her home won't hurt her.... Is all they are doing is observing her right now? The peace and security of her being at home may help her healing speed up where you can comfort her, support her, hand feed her if you have to and just love the dickens out of her.

    She is seperated from those she loves and the things she is use to, her body won't respond like it should and she is scared to death. Sometimes the other fur animals they are use to are a great comfort and could help with her healing as much as you could...

    (theses are just my own thoughts and if you first instincts are not to do it, then don't)

    Yes, I understand where you are coming from T & P's Mom and Laura's Babies and I truly appreciate what you are saying, but the reason they are keeping her in under close observation, is to watch for any signs if the embolism (blood clot) starts to move to another area that would require immediate action. They don't know if this would happen or if it will dissolve in time with the medication they are giving her. I'm sorry, I should have mentioned this before.

    Believe me when I say, that if I could have her here with me, I would.

    So your vets have someone there 24/7? That is great if they do not many regular vets do it's just the ER places.

    Poor little Katie! My heart is breaking for both of you. I hope that she will come out of it soon! It is so hard to see our babies when they are sick.

    My Tabby had a mini-stroke a few years ago, when she was 15. I could just tell that something was wrong with her when we woke up in the morning. She just layed on the bed and wouldn't move. I rushed her to the vet, and he noticed that she was lethargic, but by the time we left, she was walking, slowly.

    I stayed home with her that day, and after a few more days, she was more like herself.... and now she is fine!

    I hope that this gives you some hope! I am sending lots of hope, prayers and well wishes that she continues to get better soon!

    Yes Craftlady, someone is there during the night to keep an eye on the more sickly ones. That's why years ago I had picked this vet hospital.

    Donnaj, that is encouraging, thank you for sharing that.

    Thank you Gary for sending your Cat Angels to help Katie through this.

    Thank you again everyone as it is very comforting to me, knowing that you all understand what I am going through and really care and I don't have to second guess my decision to wait longer to see if she will come through this. I won't even mention what some of my friends have said, it's not worth it and I'm sure you can guess.

    Come on my sweet Katie, you have to pull through this. You still have more years to go on being my velcro girl.

    It would be so much easier if you could explain to her what's going on. My cat wouldn't eat at all when he had to stay at the vet's, I had to feed him every day myself. Plenty of positive thoughts going your way and hope that Katie is home soon.

    Hugs for you in this most difficult time. Katie, you're a strong, healthy kitty. You can pull thru this. Eating is very good, keep it up. You have my prayers and my furangels are keeping an eye on you both.
