Speckles Needs Prayers!

[slick]

I'd like to thank all of you for your thoughts and prayers. I never knew that this could be so hard. It's going on 5:30am and I just can't get used to sleeping with only one kitty. Hopefully, I won't have to for much longer. Phred, I see that the Prayer Pups have the direct line open and I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Nomi, I'll call you. I think I may need some help. xoxo
Laurie, thanks for the phone call of support yesterday. It was good to share a laugh with you, Sis. xoxo
Gini, I'm aching to hear your voice but I know that you are busy. Thank you for your message the other day and I'll try you on the weekend. xoxo
Momcat, that is so sweet of you to offer, but I'm doing OK financially. I will be making payments so will have the bill paid off in a few months. If you have some spare change, perhaps you could send it in JenL's way. She really needs it right now more than me.
To the others who have emailed me, thank you so very much. Your love and support means more than you know.

A final thank you for all who have replied to this thread and PM'd me. I really wasn't going to start one but now I'm glad Debbie did. Pet Talk Prayers do work miracles and I just know that this is the start of another one.

I'm anxious to visit my baby girl today and see how she is doing. I will post an uppydate later on when I get back.

Continued good thoughts and prayers to you and Speckles. I hope she will be home with you soon and that you will have many more memories to share.

I hope sweet Speckles had a good night and you find her positively perky today!

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

I hope sweet Speckles had a good night and you find her positively perky today!

Ditto!!!

I know just being hydrated makes a huge difference in how they feel, and that along with the antibiotics....careful now, she might be doing backflips of happiness when you see her.

I know you wouldn't have started a thread. You're a lot like Phred, always there in an instant for everyone else, but too humble to ask for help yourself. If I only learned one thing with Tubby, it's that PT is a powerful support group and is there when needed, all we have to do is call upon them, which is why I knew I had to start a thread for you and Speckles. You both deserve it.

Looking forward to a good uppydate!

Oh gosh, I hope Speckles is taking to the flushing. We did that with our Crystal several years ago when she had poor kidney function and it really did help.

Hugs and prayers for you and Speckles.

I just got home from visiting my baby girl. It really doesn't look good right now, but time will tell. She looked so pathetic and cried out when I tried to lift her up....so I put her back down again. She is in the bottom cage and when I opened up the door she tried to walk out and immediately hissed at me when I put her back in. I obtained a copy of the blood test and indeed the numbers are off the chart. BUN=73.2 and Creatinine=1307.

I took her some of her favourite food and she ate only a very small amount. I'm sure I would lose my appetite too being stuck in a cage. She has an IV in so didn't want to move her around too much. She shared some conversation and I told her I would be taking her home tomorrow. When I turned around to walk out, she didn't make a sound but looked at me with sad eyes. I almost lost it at that point...but kept my composure.

While I was there, a good friend of mine from the Humane Society dropped in with a rescued kitty that needed sub-q fluids so I watched the procedure. Dang...that needle ain't small, is it??? I have no idea how I'm going to set that up or how I'm going to be able to do it. She's so squirmy and hates to be scruffed.

I already know what to do if the numbers come down but because I like to be prepared, I asked about the prognosis if they are unchanged. He said that she would only have a few weeks to month at the most. I then got all the prices for euthanization. I was amazed on how "matter of fact" I was through this whole conversation. It's pricey, but he will come to my home to send her on to her final journey which is what I will choose when the time comes.

Anyway, I have to stay positive and expect the best. Thanks again for all your good wishes and thoughts. Until tomorrow folks.
