My little Puddy girl is really sick again

[Medusa]

I just got off the phone w/Dr. Lash this time; Dr. Feeman isn't in today. But Dr. Lee called to check on Puddy and they told him that she's growling and hissing and he said "That's all I need to know." So, apparently, he feels that's a good thing. I think it's really good cuz she couldn't even lift her head for two days. She still hasn't eaten but she's sniffing her food so that tells me she's prob. hungry but doesn't like what they're giving her, even though it has her favorite, chicken, in it. They're going to wait to give her the appetite stimulant since she isn't even 24 hours out of surgery. Dr. Feeman said he would call me tomorrow, Sunday, to update me again. Keep up the prayers that Puddy eats so that I can bring her home.

Blessings,
Mary

Thanks for the updates. I'm glad to hear that she's doing well. It sounds like you have a little fighter there.

She's a fighter, alright! She's been to hell and back w/CRF and an inflamed colon plus she started her life w/a hind leg that doesn't reach the floor and a crooked tail that's full of knots and can't stand up all the way. This cat is so tough; that's why Dr. Lee said "that's all I need to know". He knows if she's quiet, it's a bad sign. I'll relax more when I get her home and can keep an eye on her.

Blessings,
Mary

Puddy is always so feisty. She knows where she likes to be and she wants to be with her meowmie. She has no intentions of going anywhere anytime soon.

What a scrappy little girl she is. Go get em tiger. Show em you mean business and that you are not about to be kept down just yet. Show em you still have a few more of your 9 lives left.

prayers and pawsitive thoughts for Puddy and for you Mary. We are all behind you and Puddy 150%.

Get well sweetheart. We know you can do it.

I'll tell ya, when the sun went down, so did my spirits. The mind is a powerful thing; it can be your friend or foe. During the day I was telling myself that Puddy is healing, she's in good hands, she'll be home soon...But as soon as dark set in, my mind allowed negative thoughts to take over and now I'm scared. Last night I slept well due to exhaustion. Tonight I'm gonna miss my bunkmate. I have a high bed and she's so little that when she jumps up, she always lets out her karate yell first. Then she gives me head bumpies (a hint that "I'll take my noggin noogie now, Mom"), then she settles in, reaches up to touch my face w/her paw and gets the motor runnin'. Her purr is so loud that sometimes I have to tell her to go to the bottom of the bed. Sigh. I want so badly to hear that purr. I know that I'm getting myself down; I thought that if I saw it in print that maybe I'd smack myself out of this funk. So please forgive me for my rambling. I just don't like thinking about my little Puddy w/a big incision and alone w/out me to hold her and give her noggin noogies. On the other hand, Dr. Feeman told me that I was right to insist that Dr. Lee operate last night because he knows that she wouldn't have lived until Monday. There. I guess I smacked myself upside the head.

Blessings,
Mary

Prayers for you and Puddy. Sounds like she's a spit-fire who has the will and determination to hang in there, and must love you tremendously! Monday is a short time away... maybe you can go get her some new toys, or maybe a new soft blanket to sleep on to take your mind elsewhere and keep busy, and also know that it will be for her benefit to make her happy and spoiled more!

Wow, I missed this yesterday, and So much has happened!.

Many prayers for Puddy. But she sure does sound on the road to recovery from this.
