Update on Puddy; she's gone*9/29* see post #421

I'm sorry that Puddy is still hiding so much in her carrier. It must be her safe zone and feels better for some reason. Maybe she is hypersensitive right now with all that is going on and noises and light might make her feel worse? It's hard to know. If you have a few extra carriers around, you could put one in a few different rooms with soft bedding so she has a variety of 'caves' to choose from. That way she could at least be nearer to you. It sounds like the one in the basement is her favourite though.
Prayers going out to you and Puddy and to Boo! I hope that his thyroid condition will be manageable so he can get healthy. You sure have a full plate right now!

Thanx, Lara, I thought of that and so I put carriers in the patio room, basement and one in her room upstairs. But she insists on being in either the basement or her room. She did a little better w/sleeping last night, though. At least she isn't insisting that I watch her every time she walks up the little steps to the faucet. I actually got a fairly decent night's sleep. Well, today she'll get another Epogen shot and, hopefully, those red blood cells will start reproducing soon and she'll get some energy back. She vomited last night right before bed and she hates to vomit and she does this sort of yodel right before and she was just exhausted afterwards, poor girl. She only did it once, though, and Dr. Lee told me not to worry unless she does it twice, so maybe she just drank the water from the faucet too fast because it was all water.
