Prayers for my Puddy, please! *Update 2/23*

Prayers going out to you and Puddy from Allentown. I hope that she starts to feel less lethargic and will be more alert.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your furposse.

There's been no change. She's hardly eaten at all and she didn't want to be left alone in her room today so I brought her downstairs w/the rest of the fur posse but she wanted me close by. I was trying to get some house cleaning done so she seemed ok w/sitting behind my computer as she usually does when she's feeling well. I put a fluffy towel down for her and I have a really bright desk lamp and I direct it away from me and on to her. I think the heat feels good. I've been giving her daily subQs as directed plus her antibiotic and anti-nausea meds twice a day. If I don't see at least a little improvement by tomorrow morning, I'm calling Dr. Lee. He told me to keep him informed as to how she's doing. If I see her eat a little bit tonight I'll feel better. She loves butter cookies (just a crumb here and there) and so I thought I'd make a little noise w/the cookie tin to see if that would get her to come and investigate. She didn't even lift her head. I was up w/her til 4:30 AM because she was so restless. But she has slept all day so I hope that doesn't mean she's going to be up all night again. I feel so bad for my little girl.

It dawned on me last night to try to entice her to eat a few crumbs of salt and vinegar potato chips, which she loves. She ate tiny little crumbs, totaling about 1/3 of a chip. So that at least told me that she has a bit of an appetite. During the night, she crunched on some Purina Cat Chow so that's a good sign. She just doesn't seem to have any energy, though. As long as she's eating, I'm not going to panic and I'll keep an eye on her all day. Depending on how she looks and acts, I may try to buy some groceries. I've been afraid to leave her and my cupboards are close to bare.

Thank you again for all your prayers and encouragement. It's been a tough month but I know that there are many who have it a lot tougher. Once things calm down, I'm going to get that massage. I need to do it soon or my gift card may expire. Then I'm going to disconnect the phones, stay off the computer, work or no work, and take a full 24 hours to relax and unwind. (Yeah, right.) In the meantime, though, please keep my Puddy girl in your thoughts and prayers. She's not out of the woods by any means but I feel she has improved somewhat. (I want to end this post on a positive note.)
