My little Puddy girl is really sick again

[jennielynn1970]

Poor Puddy! I hope she's just feeling a little under the weather, and not really sick. Maybe all the running around yesterday wore her out and she just needs to re-energize. Positive thoughts for you and Puddy!

I didn't see you online much and I was often thinking of Puddy- I am now sorry to hear she's not well.
Sending all my best wishes- hope the vet finds something to help her.

Tender kisses for the sweet girl.

I was on occasionally but I was having hardwood floors installed and a kitchen countertop torn out, furniture delivered, holidays, etc. Plus my son was home visiting.

No, Puddy is more than worn out, I fear. She hasn't eaten at all for nearly two days now and she was so weak, she couldn't make it to the litterbox and peed on the floor. She feels so bad when she does that that she cries and she cries before she vomits, too. She's been such a happy cat these last couple of years. (She was always a grouch but that's what I loved about her.) Hopefully, Drs. Lee and Feeman can bring her up to snuff the way they always have. But I've never seen her this bad before. She doesn't even lift her head.

My appt. is at 4:00, so I'll post this evening w/good news, I hope. Thanx again for your support and prayers.

Blessings,
Mary

Hugs and prayers for Puddy...hopefully it is something unrelated to her needing subq fluids, and she will be well in no time!

Fingers crossed for good news!

I just got home and my eyes are tired from crying and driving in the dark and rain, so I'm going to make this kinda brief. Puddy's left kidney failed and it leaked into the ureter, which leaked urine into her abdomen which caused peritonitis. There were two large malignant masses, one on her kidney and another in the intestines. Dr. Feeman wanted to do the surgery because Dr. Lee wouldn't be in til Monday but I kept insisting that he try to contact him. He got ahold of him and, bless him, he rearranged his weekend plans with his boys who are home from college, to come in and do Puddy's surgery. I like Dr. Feeman but Dr. Lee has the instinct and now you can see why I insist on having him take care of Puddy.

She has to stay the weekend, obviously, in an incubator and with an IV and antibiotics and fluids. He said that having only one kidney isn't good but it's better than having two kidneys, one of which is bad. He felt that he got all of the cancer but he said "I don't have microscopes for eyes, so until the biopsies come back, I won't know for sure. But it looked good. It's in God's hands now. I'd say she has a 50/50 chance." I told him that I'll take that chance! He's hoping that Puddy's "meanness", as he put it, will get her through this.

My little 5 lb. of pure terror came through again but she still needs your prayers, friends. He said it's gonna be rough going for her. If he had opened her up and found that she had cancer everywhere, I would've had to do the unthinkable. But I can't help but feel that she has yet another chance. I'll talk to him or Dr. Feeman tomorrow to find out how she's doing and I'll post then.

Thanx, friends, for all of your support.

Blessings,
Mary
