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!![]()

Nine is Fine!!
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

Mary, I can only imagine how heart-sick you must be over this. It's so hard to see our babies sick. Mega prayers coming your way. Give it all to God and He will bring you and little Puddy comfort through the night.

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!

I'm so sorry to hear about precious Puddy.I sure hope that the surgery was successful and that she'll be able to come home soon and will begin feeling much better. Lots of prayers and positive thoughts are being sent her way. Please take care. (((HUGS)))
Prayers are being set out for Pud & your family, from me.
I do hope this little one heals from this illness.
God bless!
