Beau's vet appointment...not good news..Updated again--better news!

[G535]

Fingers and claws crossed here that Beau is going to be ok for a long time yet.

[Glacier]

Thank you all for your kind words and support for Beau. I've shed some tears, kicked a few rocks around the yard and yelled a few trees--trees are good for that! Then I drove back to town and bought every flavor of baby food I thought might be vaguely appealing to a cat, a case of Fancy Feast fish flavors, some catsip milk, and some Pepcid AC. I'll find something he'll eat this weekend! He can have all the deli ham and cheesey noodles he wants too!

When his test results come in, if the vet recommends it, I will let him stay at the clinic for a few days to get fully hydrated again. I've done lots of sub-q fluids on Paxil(a dog with chronic pancreatitis). I can do them on Beau too.

I knew when I adopted him that I wouldn't get years and years with him. That is the problem with adopting seniors, but I'm not settling for six weeks. As long as he's comfortable and happy, as he is right now purring on my lap while I type, I'll do whatever it takes to keep him that way! When the time comes and he has to go, he will leave this life knowing nothing but love.

Oh, sweet Beau, I will be keeping my fingers crossed for you and praying that all will be better. NOT FAIR!

Doesn't it make you angry and sad at the same time to hear something like that? Beau is supposed to be happy, healthy, and ready to start on the rest of his 9 lives.

And, wouldn't you know that Beau would act like such the gentleman even at the vet's?

Please give him some gentle scritches from me (and HUGS to you).

Oh noooooo Beau, I just fell in love with your sweet old face when I saw you, you have to get better. You're an old fighter and have to get through your rough sick patch. Try and eat the food that you're given, you have to stay longer in your new home for your mum's sake and so we can see lots of new photos of that old sweet handsome face of yours.
Paws and fingers crossed you get better soon...we are thinking of you old guy.
Love Kate , Jack & Sunny

Oh no, poor Beau!!!

I'll keep you in my thoughts and hope the sub-q-fluids will help him to recover.

Please get better!

Tamara,

You are the best meowmie Beau could ever have hoped for and he knows it. Lots of prayers and gentle hugs coming your way. Let's get that baby feeling better.

With all that love and care that Beau is receiving from you I can't see how he could not get better. Hugs to you both, prayers too.

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Oh my gosh, poor Beau! Somehow I missed this until today and I'm so sorry to hear his results weren't better. However, like Queen of Poop says, he can't help but get better with such a good meowmy.

I will be hoping and praying he has many many many months left with you and I'm sure he has known more love in the last six weeks than he knew his entire previous life.

PS, I'll have to try the kicking rocks and yelling at trees form of therapy. I can see how it would work well since they can't talk back.

[Cataholic]

I am sorry to hear about Beau.

May he, and you, have more time than you could imagine together. I hope the fluids help. Hugs to you, and gentle scritchies to Beau.

[Killearn Kitties]

Sending all my positive vibes to you and Beau. That boy deserves a lot more time for cuddling yet!

[cloverfdx]

Please get better soon, dear Beau!

Glacier, Beau, and you, are in my prayers. Thank you for loving him for however long he will be with you.

He is a lucky cat and you are a lucky lady to know him.
