Jimmy is feeling Good: Ridiculous but wonderful update #46

Oh gosh... I hope Jimmy will pull through just fine! I have a few cats that have really finicky digestive systems. Sophie would get horrible attacks of Colitis before I switched her to California Natural, and then Nutro. She's been doing well since I switched them to EVO as well. Before that, when she had attacks, it sounds just like what you described in Jimmy's litter box.

Thoughts and prayers will be going out for Jimmy. I hope nothing else will show up at the vet's, and that he'll just need to de-stress at home a little more longer.

Hugs to Jimmy!!!

I am so relieved to read that!!! I know we are not out of the woods yet and the ultrasound and time will tell but I've never seen that before and he was so lethargic and sick. But just hearing that you saw something similar in Sophie's box gives me alot of hope. Thank you for telling me that.

Thank you too Moesha.

Prayers and snuggles to Jimmy. I remember your story, Lara, of how HAPPY Jimmy was when Tiger came home from his first surgery - I think he was bounding off the walls or something?

It is sweet that he likes his new buddy, and I pray he is well soon and can bond with his pal, and THAT will help his stress for sure.

Have you tried any of the foods that Jenn has mentioned?

MORE PRAYERS for sweet Jimmy.

All my best wishes for Jimmy- I hope he'll pull through. And I think it's amazing that his kidney levels are ok - that's really good news.

Oh my, Lara, poor Jimmy! What a load you're carrying at the moment, too. Digestive problems are just about the only thing I haven't had to deal with where the Fur Posse is concerned. And for Jimmy to have normal levels w/only one kidney is fantastic! We're saying lots of prayers here in Ohio that all will go well w/him, that he'll heal quickly and easily and that he'll be home w/all of you very soon, ready to pick up right where he left off.

Do you know, it hit me in my sleep last night about the high protein food and one kidney. I forget that protein isn't good for the kidneys. That's the opposite of what I deal with with Morgan and the diabetes. It was just funny that I was sleeping and thought of that and remembered it this morning. Hoping all goes well today.

Yes, you're right, Moesha, and I should've caught that. Your vet will probably recommend that you put Jimmy on KD, Lara.
