Serious question re my meezer Coco Puff *Update 4/25; Pidge not doing well; post #140

I am just now seeing this thread.... my prayers to you and Coco Puff. I hope he is better soon.

I have noticed in the past 6 months that Tabby's meow (she's 20 years old!) has gotten much louder also. She even sounds like she is crying out in pain, which is scary! And when I come into the house at night, even though she is sleeping on the bed just inside the front door, she doesn't hear me. I always have to go wake her up. So I know her hearing is goiing (maybe gone). She still plays, eats, pees and poops, so I am not overly concerned about it.

Just wanted to let you know that I understand what you are going through. Hang in there.

Thank you for that. It's never easy no matter their age but if it happens when they're older, it's easier to cope with. My Boo is pushing 19 and he's lost a little of his hearing but I don't feel as bad as seeing my 4 year old Coco go totally deaf. I do hope the Pred works so that he can hear again.

I hope the medicine works and makes Coco Puff feel better soon and get back to his normal "not quite so loud" naughty self.
Milly is such a loudmouth Meezer, you can hear her all over the house when she wants her food or to go out.
She also has a habit of wanting to announce herself to whoever is on the phone with me.
Give Coco Puff a big hug and kiss from me and Milly.

So many candles have been lit for my booper boy Coco Puff. Thank you all so much, my precious PT friends. You all mean the world to me.

Poor Coco Puff. Prayers and good thoughts on the way.

Coco decided that he wanted to sleep w/me last night so, of course, I let him. I thought he'd want to be w/the rest of the Fur Posse as the night before but he kept coming up to the top of the stairs behind me, so I figured it was going to be a crowded bed again. I wish I could report that there's been a big change but, unfortunately, there hasn't. He has one more day to show signs of improvement and then I call Dr. Lee to schedule a skull x-ray.

So sorry to be reading this Mary. I have a lot ot catch up on. I hope that everything will be fine and that there will be nothing alarming found in the xray. Maybe it's just age related?? My foster Alex was really loud and he was deaf as well.
