Prayers for Pidgie and Coco. I hope she comes home today and the meds start kicking that Coco's nasty infection in the butt!

Keeping Pidge and Coco Puff in my thoughts. Poor kitties... hope they will feel better.

I spoke to Dr. Lee and he said "Pidge said she's ready to come home" so I just now got home. She had an accident in the carrier on the way home and oh boy! Well, it's good for my diet because I won't be eating any Easter candy, I can tell ya. I gave her hindquarters a quick sudsing and she wasn't happy about that but she still had yesterday's news back there plus what she had from her accident on the way home. They had hosed her off but she was still messy.

Dr. Lee feels that a daily dose of Cat Lax should do the trick for her and they already gave her some this morning. (no kiddin') I don't know if I want to give it to her every day, though, if it's going to make her bowels so loose. I don't want her to be constipated but I don't want her to always be frantic to use the litter box either. I'll have to see how she does and judge from there. He said that the enema got everything; that large mass came out so I'm glad about that. Right now she's lying in front of the space heater. I towel dried her after her bath but I didn't want to stress her any more by using the blow drier.

Coco Puff's meow isn't as loud today so I'm hoping that means he's getting some hearing back. Keep your fingers crossed. Thanx for all the prayers for my green-eyed lady and my blue-eyed boy. They worked again!

[Catty1]

Gosh...were your green-eyed lady's eyes BROWN for a while? (okay, slap me, I'm bad! lol )

Wonderful news that Coco is a bit quieter and Pidge is drying off in front of a space heater.

Are you going to have to give her some of that malt hairball stuff on her paws every so often?

HUGS and I hope YOU get some rest now.

I don't think so; just the Cat Lax. She's never really had a problem w/hairballs. This was unusual for her. When the weather warms up to stay, I think I might shave her down again so as to cut down on the hairballs anyhow. Right now, though, it's only 36, up from 26 and we have a snow advisory until 8:00 PM. Grrrrrrr.....

Pidgie is all curled up w/her man Boo. She was looking for a place to go and I knew that meant she couldn't make it to the litter box so I carried her downstairs and she went. I waited for her to come back up but she didn't so I went looking for her and found her all curled up w/Boo and Specs. Dr. Lee told me that she's beginning to become frail now but she had to jump up at least 4 feet to where Boo was sleeping, so she isn't that frail! I think i'm going to let them sleep together downstairs tonight. I don't want Miss Drippy Butt hopping into bed w/me. LOL

So happy to read the good news about Pidgie-pie and Coco! Get some rest tonight now that you don't have to worry so much about those kids!!

[katladyd]

I'm glad both of your babies seem to be doing better. I will keep them both in my thoughts and prayers. Get Well Guys!

[phesina]

Good news on both your beloved kids there!

[orangemm]

Mary, I'm glad to hear that Pidgie is home and resting. Poor thing, what an awful experience for her (and you). If you'll pardon the pun, I guess she's all pooped out (you can reprimand catty1 and me!).

Hopefully you all will have a quiet evening and a good night............

[cassiesmom]

Prayers and get-well wishes for Coco, Pidgie and Medusa (((HUGS))))

My little girl Pidgelet isn't feeling well. At her age, she sleeps a lot but she likes to stay upstairs where the action is. Her spot is on the back of the sofa or in front of the space heater. After she warmed up from her bath, she went downstairs and she's been there ever since. I've checked on her twice and she just is curled up. It's going to be a sleepless night for me, I'm afraid, because I don't like it when cats go off by themselves. She may be old but she's still a sociable cat and I'm hoping that she's just worn out from all the strain of trying to go and then going so much after the enemas. I wish they hadn't given her Cat Lax after the enema. I think that was too much. I'm not going to give her any tomorrow even though Dr. Lee said to squeeze out an inch a day from the tube for her. I don't want her to get backed up again but I sure don't want her to become weak from going too much. What a delicate situation.

Coco seems perkier. I tucked everyone in and he zoomed up the stairs behind me. He's gotten used to sleeping w/me now, the little brat, and he wants to continue the practice. I'll let him tonight because Pidge isn't sleeping w/me but I prefer that Coco go back to his old routine. I think it's better for him and definitely for me. I don't get much sleep w/so many cats in my bed. I don't know how so many of you do it.

[Catty1]

Just give Pidgie the night, Mary - she must be really exhausted and drained, and no, that is not a pun. Her little system needs to recoup. I am sure she will be back to her sociable self by morning. Heck, she knew to go to Boo.

[Emeraldgreen]

What a couple of days you've had! I hope that Coco's quieter meow means the meds are doing their thing. And poor Pidgie Pie, she sounds warn out by all that she has gone through. This is kind of an icky thought but when we (us humans) have the flu and have diarrhea, all you want to do is lie down and curl up. Her bum must be tired and maybe cramping a bit too after the enemas and the cat lax. I hope her back end is feeling more like it usually does in a day or two. Please hug all the fur crew for me and give Pidgelet and CocoPuff extra ones for me if you don't mind.
