I'm still worried about my Puddy

[Medusa]

Yes, it is comforting to me, thanx a lot! I just didn't want to put her on yet another medication. As it is, I have to make a chart for her so that I don't forget to give her one or the other and that I don't give the wrong cat the meds. I think Dr. Lee was simply stating the difference between dogs and cats. Having been "owned" by both , I know what he meant and I didn't take offense. As I said before, he isn't exactly the warm and fuzzy type. But he's got the instinct and the knowledge and that's so important.

Puddy and I had a good night. Yay! When I got home from work, she was quiet but sitting in the praying position and that had me concerned, so I watched her closely. She slept w/me again and she slept soundly, stopping to munch a little through the night. I didn't give her the nausea med because she didn't seem to need it. I worry that so much in her stomach when she wasn't eating right would just make her more nauseated. This morning she seems to be on a mission to get the world record for the longest noggin noogie.

Hi again
I must go to bed soon but just before I do...zzzzzzzzzzz...ooh sorry dozed off there...have you thought of using a natural remedy for nausea rather than adding another chemical for her liver to have to detox (thus adding to the nausea, = vicious cycle) Another thing I did for Cleo is I took her to a separate homeoepathic vet for something to support her body systems through all the medication (which will now be for the rest of her life). It was a full consult with the vet, she's a traditional vet as well as a homoeopathic one, and she prescribed nux vomica for nausea (quite commonly used for this in humans) and general systemic support, and another remedy as her constitutional remedy (her "personality/general constitution" blueprint remedy) I don't know if you know much about homoeopathy but it is brilliant. Very gentle yet very powerful. Colette was having one of her chuck-up days the other week and I gave her some of the nux vomica and it seemed to help.
Another thing to try would be Bach Rescue Remedy - it's an English thing but is available worldwide. You can get it in a little spray so you can just dab some on her fur and it will be effective. Very effective stuff.
I really must sleep now I've done 44 hours and it's still only Thursday. Day off tomorrow (thank the Lord) TC

Yes, I have thought of the homeopathic route. Unfortunately, there are no homeopathic vets in this area, to my knowledge. But I know of the remedy of which you speak. Not sure how much to give her, though. But I think I'll do some research and see if I can find a homeopathic vet to work in conjunction w/Dr. Lee. Thanx for the suggestion! I just love PT!

So glad that Puddy is doing better. Hope she got the world record for the Noggin Noogie!

Glad to hear Puddy had a good night
i don't know exactly what to think of homeopathic medicine but for Filou i consulted a homeopathic vet as well- and it seems to be one of the things -together with the sub qs that keep him ok.

the homeopathic vet really took his time (2hrs) to meet him and to learn everything about him- very impressive.

good wishes for Puddy.

Hi there,
Thanx for all the prayers and good thoughts. Puddy seems to be doing ok today, although I'm not sure how much she ate. I'm going to have her sleep w/me again tonight and if she munches during the night, I'll hear her. She's so thin; she needs to grow into her fur again. I almost hate to see the fur grow back on her legs. As soon as it's grown in, she ends up going back to hospital. Anyhow, I'm counting on a good night's sleep tonight. She was as good as can be for her SQ fluids today. She always knows when the 150cc's are done. She looks up at me w/the biggest eyes as if to say "Ok, mom, take the needle out now." God, I love her so much.

Blessings,
Mary
