Oh Mary-

Man does it sound like you've had so much going on. My goodness. I'm so glad though that Pidge is doing ok now. Wow 20 1/2 years old...that's really great.

My one great uncle had 2 cats that lived till 24 and 22 years. I couldn't believe it...I hope all mine last for a long long time. Anyway, I'm just really glad to hear that Pidge is going to be ok and that Coco Puff is doing better.

Take care,
Melissa

I'm trying not to make a big deal out of it. She went through a lot in the last couple of days but she didn't come when called for breakfast. I even took the food to her and she turned her back on it. I'll give it until tomorrow and if she hasn't eaten, I'm calling Dr. Lee. She did come upstairs for a while and sat in the front of the space heater but she clearly does not feel well. It would be a wonderful birthday present for me if she would eat, if only a little. Please keep up the prayers for my sweet girl.

I'm sorry that I haven't had a chance to post in this thread for a few days.
You sure have been busy with not one but now two sick furkids.
I'm happy to hear that sweet Coco Puff is feeling better and acting more like his normal quieter self.
I'm sorry to hear that your Pidge hasn't been feeling well and won't eat now.
I know what it's like to worry about every little thing with a senior kitty.
Sending hugs your way.

Poor little girl.

Prayers continuing for you all plus an extra one for Pidge.

Poor Pidge. I don't think I'd want to eat anything right away after what Dr Lee did to her tho! Kind of like a colonoscopy prep!! Not fun!!!

Seriously tho - hope she's feeling better today and maybe getting hungry by now. Come on Pidgie - you need to eat something...........

She still hasn't eaten anything so I spoke w/Dr. Lee and he said to start giving her subQ treatments every day. He's concerned that her kidneys are starting to give her problems now. He said that he was kicking himself for not doing a BUN and creatinine levels on her but he felt that, given her age, she was going to have constipation problems from now on and that all she needed was an enema to clean her out. He told me that if the subQ doesn't perk her up to give her some Val Syrax syrup and if that doesn't stimulate her appetite, then he's worried.

I'm too sick myself to take her back in. Apparently, I caught a bug of some type and I spent most of the night in the bathroom. I think that the worst of it is probably over but I'm barely able to stand due to dizziness so there's no way I can drive. I sure hope my little girl shows signs of improvement soon. Please keep up the prayers for her.

On the bright side, Coco Puff seems to be improving even more. He's gone back to his old hangouts in the house and he doesn't seem confused any more, thank goodness. I'm still not sure if he can hear but I think it's a good possibility.

Mary, I'm sorry to hear that Pidge isn't eating and that you're also sick. I hope that you'll both start doing and feeling better soon. I'm so glad to hear that Coco Puff is doing much better. Please take care.(((HUGS)))
