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

That's wonderful!!! Maybe it's the beginning of what you've been hoping and praying for.

I waited a little while to give them breakfast because I wanted to see what Puddy would do. She waited a bit and then went to the basement to her carrier. I thought that I'd probably have to take her out of it to eat but when I said "Breakfast time!", she came out of the carrier and went up the stairs all by herself. She ate heartily and hung out in the kitchen a bit, then went back to the basement. I did have to take her out after that to give her the subQ and meds but I feel this is HUGE!

That is so good to hear. I know that most definitely made your day, it sure made mine.

Don't they just make your heart sing when you see improvement?
What a lovely Friday for you and Puddy too!

That is such good news! Good girl Puddy!!

GREAT news! Has she had the second injection of the Epogen?

Maybe it's starting to perk her up.

Hugs to that dear girl, and that she continues to improve.

Next milestone - The Hiss!

Yes, I gave her the second injection on Wednesday plus Dr. Lee had given her one, so that makes 3 so far and she'll get another one tomorrow, then get blood work done on Monday.

I thought I'd give it the litmus test today, so I brought home some take out chicken and waved the bag around at the bottom of the stairs so that she could smell it. She came out from under the bed but wouldn't come downstairs but I'm not discouraged by that. Probably her trek downstairs this morning tired her out, so I took some chicken up to her and she scarfed it down. I really do feel as though a weight has been lifted off me, off my chest, actually. My heart was so sore about all this, wondering if I was doing right by Puddy and keeping her here because of selfishness on my part but now I can see that the Epogen is working. Even if she does need to be on it forever (Dr. Lee said maybe not but we never know), I'll find the $600 a month somewhere, especially knowing that she may only need to be on it once a week eventually instead of 3 times a week, so that would bring the cost down considerably. I just can't express how much better I feel about all this. I know how the Law of Attraction works and I was doing my best to send out only positive thougts but then I'd look at Puddy and how lethargic she was and I'd allow the negative thoughts to creep in. Now that she's improving, though, it'll be easier for me to keep my thoughts in check.

Thank you all for the continued prayers and good thoughts for Puddy. Now, as you say, Candace, I'm gonna start praying for getting Puddy's hiss back.
