Prayers for my Pidgelet, please! *Update 11/23*; she's losing weight; post #285

Pidge had a bit of an upset stomach yesterday, probably due to taking so many meds, and it occurred to me that I have leftover fudgesicles from when Puddy was getting some as a treat. It's been a little too nippy for me to eat them, so I thought I'd see if Pidge would lick a little of one. She turned her head and gave me the funniest look as if to say "You do know I'm a cat, right?" So I ate it myself even though it was cold and rainy last night. I couldn't help but think that Puddy was laughing at all this.

Glad Pidgelet is feeling better.

I am very glad to hear that she is comfortable.

Mary you perked up my day by the wonderful post of Pidgelet. I hope you have wonderful days together and she continues to hold her own. The prayers will continue for both of you.

Mary, I am so glad to hear that Pidge is at least comfortable. That should bring a little relief to you for now. I am still holding Pidgelet in my thoughts.

Mary, I'm so glad to hear that Pidge is more comfortable and doing much better. I hope that she'll continue to do well. She'll remain in my thoughts and prayers. Please take care. (((HUGS)))

Well, it looks like I spoke too soon. Poor Pidgelet had a rough night. She was up every 20 minutes or so to either use the litterbox or eat, each session followed up w/loud wailing. I felt so bad for my little girl. She's no longer congested so I'm discontinuing the antihistamine. I think it's making her jittery; she's also developed a little tic and I remember that Puddy had a tic from one of her meds, too. Plus this med is also an appetite stimulant so I think that's why she was getting up to eat so often during the night. It's the wailing that breaks my heart. There's nothing I can do to comfort her. I speak softly to her and stroke her but it doesn't help. She really needs to rest today but I know that if she lies around too much, her lungs will fill w/fluid and we all know what the outcome will be. Dr. Lee also increased her Lasix at night but I'm going to ask him if it's ok to increase it during the day instead because she just isn't getting much rest at night. Please keep my green-eyed lady in your prayers. She really needs them right now.

Pidge, your breaking my heart. I don't like to hear that you are wailing. Sending your prayers of comfort.
