Good thing you brought her in! Sounds like the infection may not have gone away on it's own. I hope the combo of meds help to make her well soon and that she stops sniffling.
Prayers going out that the xrays next month prove that it is only calcification going on and nothing more serious. You've had a hard enough time already. Only good news should be coming your way for quite some time! At least that's how it should be!!

Pidge is having a rough time of it. I took her upstairs w/me and she hopped up into bed right away so I thought maybe she'd snuggle in but she couldn't lie still. She kept moving from spot to spot on the bed, finally jumped down and went downstairs into the kitchen and laid in front of the fridge. I had moved a litterbox and a fountain and food upstairs but there's nothing on the main floor so I figured she might do better downstairs w/Boo Bear. She went into a litterbox and peed a little, then went into another litterbox and let out a weird meow. Then she came out and vomited. I think the Cyproheptadine is upsetting her stomach. I seem to recall that happening when she was on it for the paint allergy, too. I think Dr. Lee wants to increase her appetite a little, which the Cyproheptadine does, because she's lost 1 3/4 lbs. since May. She hasn't eaten since she vomited earlier this evening. I sure hope she's going to be ok. I have a bad feeling. I hope that feeling is just a layover from the Puddy episode.

My goodness -- it doesn't seem fair that you're having to go through all this worry and anxiety so soon after sweet Puddy's passing. (I guess "fair" has nothing to do with it, though, does it?)

We'll all be praying for sweet Pidgelet (what a beautiful little girl she is!) and hoping that she's feeling much better very soon.

Snuggles to Pidge, and ((((HUGS)))) to you!

Much love,
Diana

I spoke w/another vet at the clinic this morning. He's going to call a different antihistamine in for Pidge at my pharmacy. She can't seem to keep the Cyproheptadine down so he feels it isn't doing her any good. She's still so congested. I checked on her during the night and she moved around a lot but she preferred to stay in the basement w/the Fur Posse so I didn't want to stress her by insisting that she sleep w/me. I just want her to feel better. As for pain meds, he deferred to Dr. Lee and feels it might be best to talk to him on Monday. I really don't think she's in any serious pain so that can wait but the vomiting relief can't.

I was hoping to read a better report this morning. Hopefully it's just the med upsetting her tummy and she'll do better on the new one. Did she eat anything and keep it down this morning?
As for you Ms Mary - think positive!! - no doom and gloom allowed!!!!!

And speaking of positive - the pumpkin bread is positively delicious!

I fed everyone the new canned Science diet this morning, thinking that I'd have to add some FF to it, but decided instead to just put it down and see what would happen. They all loved it including Pidge. She ate and kept it down this morning, so I'm feeling better now. I know the vibe was still in the air after all the Puddy trauma. When I was driving Pidge to the vet yesterday, I thought to myself that the last time I made that drive, Puddy was on her way to the Bridge and it was depressing. I think, though, that Pidgelet is holding her own and, hopefully, I'll see some improvement soon.

Good to hear about the pumpkin bread. Aaaaaaaaaaargh!

On my way to my local vet right now. Pidge is crying and her tongue is hanging out just like Puddy's was. This can't be happening again. PLEASE PRAY!

[Purr-tender]

Oh my gosh! This is scary. You must be frantic. Prayers going up for Pidge and for you!!
