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

LOL This reminds me of my Pearl. When Ziggy was still a kitten, I couldn't let her into my bedroom at night because she wanted to play all night so I only let in a few cats. Pearl was the main cat the loved to sleep in my bedroom at night and she claimed the bed as her own.

When I was able to let in all of my furkids again, she didn't like it very much and she would try to chase every one off of the bed especially Storm. She's finally gotten over it but it took a while. Yes, female cats sure can be diva's among other things.

Oh, Pidgie, I notice you're sulking on purple - the color of royalty

[Medusa]

She's going in this morning for her checkup. She's been doing great, so I don't want the ride and vet visit to get her heart rate up there again. If you can spare a moment or two, say a little prayer for my Pidgie Pie this morning, ok?

[Taz_Zoee]

I will be thinking of Pidge this morning and hope her check up goes great!

Praying that Pidgie has a stress free visit to the white coats. Let us know how she does.

Prayers,
Mary

Just got home and Pidge's vet visit went great. Her heart rate was 170; it was 189 last visit and Dr. Lee was thrilled w/that. She also gained a little weight, which pleased him too because he said that cats usually lose weight on the meds she takes. He heard no congestion whatsoever so he said he wouldn't even do a chest x-ray. He did say, though, that her lungs and heart could fill w/fluid at any time. He said "I don't want to be negative because she's doing so great but you have to know that it isn't always going to be this way. You remember how fast it went w/Puddy". I said "I know but let me enjoy this moment. Right now she's doing wonderfully and I'm thankful for that". He said "Well, you know how I am, Mary. Expect the best but prepare for the worst". I guess he had to tell me that but I really didn't want to hear it today. I was shocked when the bill came to $27. I looked around and said "Are you talking to me?" and they laughed and said "Yeah, that's kinda low for you, huh, Mary?" I can't even remember the last time I had a two digit vet bill, if ever.

She really carried on the entire drive there and when she started on the way home, I said "Hey, no need to fuss now. We're going home". She stopped immediately. LOL So all in all, a good visit.

Did you hear my heavy sigh??? These are the updates we all live for.

That's right Mary enough every moment!

I'm going to say a pray for Pidge though that she continues to do well.

[Purr-tender]

Yippee!! I knew when I posted that you were probably already on your way home from the vet. But, Pidgie got her prayer, as did Andy, Barney and Taz! You must be elated! And only $27. Excellent!

Great news. You're quite a girl Ms Pidge!!! And Mary - you're quite a Mom too!!! And you didn't even have to sing to her on the way home this time either!!!

[Kirsten]

Glad you got such good news! Yay!

This is so wonderful!! Excellent news. And I'm sure the vet just didn't want to raise your hopes too high and also cover his own rear. So just don't think about that right now and enjoy your little girl while she is in such a good place.

Great news. You're quite a girl Ms Pidge!!! And Mary - you're quite a Mom too!!! And you didn't even have to sing to her on the way home this time either!!!

True, no singing this time. I turned the radio on for her but it didn't help. Candace (Catty1) sent me one of her CD's for Miss Pidge but the mail didn't arrive until after our vet visit. It sure would've come in handy on the ride to the clinic. Oh well, we'll save it for next time. Thank you, Candace. We'll listen to it this evening.

Wonderful news about the Pidgie-girl! Every moment is precious, isn't it.

I'm just a tad nervous about Pidge. Dr. Lee was pleased that she had gained weight but now I can tell that she's losing. I don't even have to pick her up to tell; I can see it. He did say that cats tend to lose weight on the meds that she's taking but she's been awfully lethargic all day. She didn't come downstairs to eat breakfast w/the rest of the Fur Posse; I had to carry her downstairs. After eating, she went back upstairs and she's stayed there all day. Will you please remember my sweet Pidge in your prayers?
