UPDATE again - Mishi's Across the Bridge :(

**RedHedd** · 06-13-2007, 12:00 PM

Mishi has improved so much in the past day or so. Last night he *almost* humped his beloved teddy bear, at least he's back to making bread on her

He's on an appetite stimulant (Periactin) which is helping to get him eating. He's still not eating normally, but he IS eating quite a bit more than he was, although it's still only the Fancy Feast. At least I've gotten him to eat some crunchies as he'll now come running when I'm giving Mitzi her treats and will crunch down a few. I just wish he'd start eating his X/D again. He has grown to hate the X/D wet and will go running if I so much as open a can of it.

I am giving him a little bit of Enulose to keep him going and he appears to be having normal poops.

He looks so much better hydrated and perkier, although he still isn't grooming himself, he is grooming Mitzi again. He's also gotten more assertive in requesting access to the bathtub faucet. Lately he will come into the bathroom and stand on the toiletseat giving me the evil eye while I'm using HIS shower. He wastes no time, as soon as I'm ready to come out, he jumps in. Silly boy!

Each day is different. It seems like he's turned a corner and I'm cautiously optimistic that he will continue to improve with all the TLC and attention he's getting. The Pet Talk prayers (and $$ - it's still coming in - THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!) are helping tremendously.

Georgia, I've been away from PT for a few days, and I almost dreaded coming back because I was afraid to see bad news about Mishi. Instead I see the wonderful news that he is improving - yippeeee!!!

I hope and pray that he continues to do well.

As others have said, there will be good days and bad days, and I hope there are more good than bad. However......I almost hate to mention it.....but they can take a turn for the worse in an instant - Tubby did. So enjoy every precious moment with him that you can, and spoil, spoil, spoil.

Keep on keeping on, Mishi! We know you can do it!

Thanks, Debbie (T&P's mom). Each day is different. It's hot here right now - about 90 and the cats are miserable. Mishi was not-so-good last night and this morning. I bought some special baby food for him today and will see if I can coax him to eat it; he's nibbling at the Fancy Feast. I am cherishing every minute I have with my orange boybee. He's so thin and frail; even on his good days he's still kinda punky, but of course I love him just the same (or maybe more; Mitzi is getting jealous).
