Worried about Mimi........advice?

**Logan** · 07-07-2006, 07:53 PM

I spoke with Dr. Robinson late this afternoon, after their office had already closed, and he told me that he wanted me to come on over with Mimi so that they could give her an injection and sub-q (sp?) fluids to see if she would perk up a little bit. I was there for an hour with her while the fluids went in. She weighed 4.4 pounds today. So I ended up doing exactly what I said I wasn't going to do, but no tests, which he agreed would do no good for her at this point in time.

This is not a miracle cure for her. It will hopefully buy us a little more time with her. He told me that I need to prepare myself and that someone is available to me by cell phone if anything changes and I need them before Monday.

Say a prayer for my sweet little girl, please. She is so dear. She sat there in my lap while those fluids went in without even a fight. She's tired.

And I'm sad.

Sending great big hugs to you and la chat petite et beaux, Mimi.

Logan, if the fluids help, that is definitely something that you can do at home so you don't have to keep taking her back to the vet.

I hope all is going as well as it can. It sounds like you are doing exactly what your cat needs/wants you to do. Keeping her comfortable and seeing if she can rally, but letting her go if it is time for her to go.

I have been in that spot so many times. It is never easy, but know you are both in my thoughts and prayers.

I just went upstairs to wake up Helen, who is going to an all day driving school today, and there was Mimi, cuddled up beside her in the bed. She said that Mimi never moved all night. At least she's where she wants to be even if she still won't eat for us. Helen had her purring last night, too. I know Mimi missed her when she was gone this past week.

Thank you for your prayers. Apparently, the prayers are working becasue she seems content and comfortable and that is all I ask for. She won't be able to go on like this for long, but some more time is precious.

Logan the fact that she is comfortable and not appearing to be in pain is a blessing in itself. I know that you love her and will do only what is best for her. (((hugs)))

I'm glad ot hear that she is comfortable. Its all anyone could ever ask for (((HUGS))) and more prayers coming your way

If she was snuggled up to Helen and purring....how lovely. Maybe Helen will be able to encourage her to eat a bit, even baby food.

Different situation - but when Oscar was ill from antibiotics recently, he wasn't eating...but would lick plain yogurt off my finger! Moms have a special place, I guess.

I hope Mimi stays happy and comfortable...and I know Helen will dote on her. Is there something with Helen's scent that Mimi could cuddle with during the day?

I hope she has some more loving time left. She could not have done better than to have adopted the two of you! wow. What love and care.
