Appears the desert doesn't agree with Peanut - Uppydate on page 4

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Peanut is continuing to do well. She is definitely spunkier and even played with her mousie today, which she hasn't done in a few weeks now.

She is still not using the box consistently though, and she really dislikes getting the fluids. Tonight was a bit of a struggle and Terry realized he's going to have to hold her tighter than he thought - yes, fluids spurting everywhere with MY finger getting poked in the process.

Cute story - we've been putting a folded up cardboard box in the hallway to keep Peanut in the bedroom/bathroom area at night and while we're gone so the random pee spots are kept to a minimum. Yesterday when I got home, CJ was so excited to see me and I saw how he had been pawing at the box to try to get out, but he hadn't succeeded(sp?) at that point. This morning right before I got up, I heard him jump over - he had figured out he could "escape." Well.......this afternoon when I came home for lunch, Peanut met me at the door, and CJ was sleeping on the couch! We figured CJ was able to get out, but wasn't happy with just getting himself out, he had to break his sister out too! Busted her out of jail he did. He's such a good little brother. The good news is there were only two random pee spots, and both of them were on some of the puppy pads I have down. Maybe she was showing me she could be "good" while we were gone so we didn't lock her up again.

Debbie, prayers are on the way that Peanut continues to do better. Sounds like she is a little fighter, and doesen't appear to want to give this battle up.

Hope she gets to feeling her old self soon.

What a sweet story about CJ breaking his sister out.

I'm glad to hear Peanut is feeling perkier.
Keep it up sweetie!

I'm glad to hear that Peanut is much perkier and is interested in playing with her mousie. I also enjoyed hearing the CJ jail break story. I know that the pee pads are supposed to have some kind of smell to them that will make cats and dogs want to use them. Maybe Peanut thinks that she's supposed to use them instead of the litterbox. I sure hope that Peanut continues to do well.

I am so glad to hear that Peanut is continuing to feel better! And I love the story of CJ "breaking her form the jail cell"! How sweet! Keep feeling better little Peanut! I have a soft spot in my heart for you little one, as you remind me so much of my Tabitha! She is also very petite, and older, and has a younger sister who keeps her on her toes!

I'm so happy she's doing better
Would using a non needle shringe and buying the pedialyte at the grocery store be better giving it in her mouth like water?
We do it to a new cat (Mia)I brought in that was so dehydtrated that she not only didn't pee because she was so dehydrated but her skin was leather.She's doing great now with just the pedialyte.
Of course it's up to your vet and you though.I don't know what Peanut's whole health history is so I'm just throwing it out there
I hope Peanut continues to stay perky so she and you can enjoy each other a longer time.Good Luck

Please continue to improve, Peanut!
