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

Mary, I'm glad to hear that the Epogen has helped Puddy so she's now almost in the low normal range. Hopefully by giving it to her only 2 times a week that this will help her have more energy. Lots of prayers and positive thoughts are being sent her way. Please take care. (((HUGS)))

I'm not sure why but I think she sleeps on the sink countertop because she's just too tired to go back down the little steps sometimes. She sleeps in her carrier or under her bed or my bed or on the sink countertop and that's it. No more sunning in the patio room. Hopefully, cutting back to one Epogen shot a week may make her feel energetic but her kidney won't have to work so hard to produce red blood cells. I miss her company. I go upstairs to check on her occasionally and to see if she wants to hang out w/me like she used to but she just doesn't want to be bothered right now. The rest of the Fur Posse keep going upstairs but they only get so far because I have a baby gate blocking their way. If I don't do that, Coco Puff will pester her and Creamsicle will eat her food and she's allergic to it. It's nuts around here! LOL

She is such a strikingly beautiful cat, Miss Puddy.

Thanks for sharing these pictures. I pray that the reduction in medication will jazz her up a bit.

That is what I saw in her eyes too.

Many prayers for Puddy. All we want is for you to be comfortable and happy.

Looking at those pics of her on the counter made me think that maybe she is feeling nausceous (spelling??). I brought my hubby home from the hospital a few hours ago after hernia surgery and he became really nausceous in the truck when I had the fan on with the heat to get rid of the mist on the windows from the rain and muggy weather. As soon as he got hot he felt so sick, thought he was going to throw up and needed to put something cold against his head. Thankfully I had just gone grocery shopping before picking him up and had some frozen vegetables on hand! He felt better right away.
So, when I saw Puddy's pics, this is what came to mind. Do you think that she might be dealing with nausea? It could be a reaction to the new meds. Maybe you could ask your vet about this possibility and there might be a safe anti-nausea med or something holisitic she could take that might help turn her around that also wouldn't harm her if that isn't what she's dealing with.
Sorry if this post isn't making much sense, it's 2:00a.m. and I should be in bed. lol

Yes, unfortunately, I see it, too. I feel so bad for my little girl.
