I fear I may be losing my Puddy.

Good thoughts and prayers still heading your way. Please update as soon as you can.

Puddy is hanging in there. I just talked to one of the vets and she said that Puddy is eating, which surprised me, cuz she didn't eat or drink anything for an entire day. And she's eating moist food, too. She said that Dr. Lee planned to send her home tomorrow but I have to be in Columbus all day on business. If I had to, I'd cancel. But she said that it would do Puddy good to stay on the fluids and the IV antibiotic even longer. And, of course, I can't pick her up on Sun. So it looks like she'll be in hospital through the wknd. I think Dr. Lee prob. wanted to spare me some expense but after all this time, what's a few hundred bucks more? After all, it's my Puddy girl. So I asked several times if she was comfortable, if she was crying or seemed at all agitated and she said "No, we put her in a quiet corner and she ate and she seems to be doing fine." So, I guess I'll go to Columbus tomorrow and trust that it certainly won't do her any harm to stay longer. In fact, it'll prob. help her. It won't do much for my state of mind. But this isn't about me.

Thanx for all your prayers and support, friends, but don't let up! My Puddy is so little and fragile.

Blessings,
Mary

Forgot to mention: they haven't run the tests yet. They were going to do that tonight and have the results tomorrow morning. Since I have to be in Columbus, I told them to go ahead and do the tests but that I'll leave her there til Mon. morning.

Blessings,

Well, here's hoping that, by Monday, she'll have even gained back a little weight, and be the purty Puddy you love again. It sounds like she's doing better, which is a good thing! So Puddy gets a Weekend at the Spa, while momma gets to worry.

Spa, eh? I wonder if I said that word to Pud if she'd agree w/me. I just wish she wasn't so far away. It's difficult to get in to see her but maybe it's for the best cuz I'd get upset seeing her like that and then having to leave when she'd think I was taking her home w/me. Boy, this little girl just has me tied up in love knots. She's really done a number on my heart.

Blessings,

This is encouraging news that Puddy seems to be feeling a little better. My girls will be sending healing vibes all weekend to Puddy!

I am so sorry to hear Puddy is sick. I will say prayers she recovers and is able to come home for many more head bumpies. Little Orange Kitten and P. K. Knickers send their kitty prayers, also.

Has Puddy been checked for pancreatitis(SP)???? Prayers for you both! Sandra

I'm glad to hear Puddy has been eating, that's a good sign. Since you'll be away, I'm sure the best you can do for Puddy is leave her with the vets, she couldn't be in better hands, and you don't have to worry as much as you would have.

Sending more healing thoughts to Puddy.

When I first took Puddy in several months ago, she had an inflamed colon, kidneys, liver and pancreas. She was in bad shape and was actually screaming. Dr. Lee said he'd never heard a cat scream like that before.

I just spoke to Dr. Lee a few min. ago and he said "Puddy is doing much better. She's eating, drinking and hating us." (This is a good thing. ) He won't know the lab results until tomorrow and he said that clinically he can't say for sure that she's improved. But he said that she sure has improved in her eating, etc. She's not crying, so I feel good about that. Now I feel better about leaving her in there, although I still wish I could have her here w/me.

I'll be gone all day tomorrow, so I won't be able to post until late. But as soon as I know more and can get to my computer, I'll post. Thanx again, friends, for all your prayers. Puddy is my girlie girl.

Blessings,
Mary

I'm glad to read she is doing so much better than earlier today. Will continue to keep good thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery.

The thought of Puddy eating put a smile upon my face I also like that spa thought. Of course we won't stop to cross our fingers and paws!
