I fear I may be losing my Puddy.

[Medusa]

I know that cats purr sometimes no matter what, so purring isn't always a good sign. But Puddy is different and I keep telling myself that it's a good thing. Maybe not. I don't know. She's just lying there like Peeka did before I took her in. Then Peeka's liver started shutting down and she became jaundiced and I knew what I had to do. This is making me too emotional. I'll post when I get home from Dr. Lee's, hopefully w/my Puddy on the mend.

Blessings,
Mary

I'm sorry to hear Puddy is feeling so bad. I hope the vet can do something to make her better. I'll send positive thoughts and keeping my fingers crossed for her.

Hugs to you.

Mary, I am sorry, I have been busy and not here as much as usual. I just saw this and am so very sorry that Puddy has slipped. I hope it is just temporary and your visit to Dr. Lee will set Puddy right again. Good thoughts and hugs to both of you. C'mon Puddy keep up the fight!

As soon as I saw the expression on his face, I knew it wasn't good. He said "She really looks bad. She looks so scrawny. She's lost over a lb. again." Pud only weighed a little over 6 lbs. to start with, so a lb. is a big deal. He did the tests and said he or someone there would call me this evening when the results are back. He gave me something for her nausea and another appetite stimulant and something to sprinkle on her food to help flush the kidneys. And she has to have the SQ fluids every day now. He said that she may just be having a bad spell. But if her creatinine is way up there, that there isn't much he can do for her other than what we've been doing. And that means more long hospital stays, more IV's, more pain and being caged w/out being home w/me. Unacceptable. So, as soon as I got home, I gave her the meds and her fluids and she went to the enclosed patio and is lying in front of the heater. All I can do now is wait. Agony.

Please keep up the prayers and I'll post as soon as I know something.

Blessings,
Mary
