My Puddy is sick again. *UPDATE*

Prayers for Puddy....

[Medusa]

5/24: I just got off the phone w/Dr. Feeman. Puddy won't cooperate enough to give them urine or blood specimens so they're going to have to sedate her and keep her overnight. He said they could treat her symptomatically but if her other kidney is failing, they won't know and treatment will be delayed. So, poor little girl is going to have to spend the night there. He said he'd call me w/the results of the urinalysis tonight, so hopefully, he'll have some good news. Why does Dr. Lee have to be gone?

It sounds like Dr. Feeman has a handle on the situation. Will continue to keep good thoughts for Puddy.

Dr. Feeman just called and he said that the urinalysis does show an infection, so he's going to treat her w/clindamycin for now. She bounced back from the anesthesia and is actually walking around, so he said to come and get her, that it's better for her given her disposition. Her blood work will be back tomorrow and we'll know more. I'm just relieved that I can bring her home.

Great news, glad you can bring Puddy home tonight.

I just brought her home. She's on clindamycin for the UTI, an antihistamine for the URI, a pain med and a nausea med. I'm going to have to make a chart to be sure I don't over or under medicate her. She's not the least bit drowsy from the anesthesia, though, and when they brought her out, the vet tech said "I hope you have a carrier for her cuz she is NOT happy!" I looked at her and said "Puddy, you mad at me?" and she hissed at me. Of course, everyone laughed and that's the best sign I could've gotten. When she had no spunk at all is when I was really worried. So, keep fingers and paws crossed that all goes well over this long holiday weekend. As it is, Yodie goes in to see Dr. Lee on Tues. Ever since she's had this URI, all she's done is cry. He said he couldn't see a polyp but I swear this is the way she acted when I first rescued her and the polyp was in her ear. She was whiney and needy. After the polyp came out, she was so independent it actually hurt my feelings. So my household is not out of the woods yet, that's for sure. But at least things are looking brighter. My Puddy's home and that's a start.

Great to hear that Puddy's bringing the catitude!
