More prayers for Puddy.

Filou purrs gently in Puddy's ear. My thoughts are with you and your girl.

Poor Puddy! Please try to eat some turkey for your meowmie. Maybe some turkey broth mixed with the k/d will help her appetite.

Puddy's doing better. This cat never ceases to amaze me. She is so tough! I guess the extra SQ fluid treatment perked her up. She slept well all night, snuggled in next to me and this morning she groomed herself. Last night she could barely lift her head, so when I saw her grooming herself, I nearly cried. Then I closed the bedroom door behind me and she meowed, so I popped my head back in and she ran out the door and down the stairs to sit in the sunroom. I talked to Dr. Lee and he said "You're doing the right thing, trusting your instincts and aggressively treating this thing. It sounds like she did take a turn for the worse but you're so vigilant that you caught it in time, I think. Give her the SQ fluids every day, twice a day if you feel she needs it, and if she gets worse, bring her in tomorrow. I won't be in but they can get ahold of me at any time and I'll talk to them about Puddy."

I haven't given her the fluids yet today because she smelled the turkey when I opened the fridge and I gave her some and she really ate! And Coco Puff started to annoy her, so she nailed him!

Thanx are in order for your prayers and support and I'll keep you posted on how she's doing. As for me, I'm sooooo grateful. But exhausted. And I'm giving a party tonight, so I have to get things ready. Lord willin' and the creek don't rise, I'm gonna sleep in tomorrow.

Blessings,
Mary

That is so good to hear! Good grief, but I think Puddy is trying to use up your nine lives here!

I'm glad she's comfortable, hungry, and argumentative tonight.

Mary, what upsetting news about dear Puddy!! Will be sending prayers for both of you. Have you tried chicken baby food? That was one thing I could get Boo to eat...Sandra

Oops!!! I did not see that the thread went 3 "pages!" I am so glad that Puddy is doing better! Sandra

**Medusa** · 11-29-2005, 06:21 PM

Yep, me, too. LOL I just gave her the subQ fluids and she sat still for it but when it came time to give her the antibiotic, fuhgeddaboudit! It tastes yucky and, boy, does she ever put up a fight! That's my girl!

Blessings,
Mary

Mary, it is so good to read that your Puddy is doing better.

I hope you have been able to catch up on some sleep. I know what it is like to run on only 3 hours sleep.

Keep being strong and well sweet Puddy.

Nah, Puddy doesn't bite or scratch any more. Not me, anyway.

I think she knows that the subQ treatments and the meds are helping her cuz she feels better, so I get a reprieve. I admit to having her still sleep w/me cuz when she gets sick, it happens so quickly and I want to keep a close eye on her. She purrs so loudly and she looks up at me and just melts my heart. She holds my gaze for a long time and I can't look away. I treasure every single moment. I love my Puddy girl.

Blessings,
Mary
