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

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)))

Lots of healing energy sent to Pidge and to you! May both of you feel better right away.

Gee girl! You are catching it right and left aren't you! These fur kids mean a lot to us and it is so darned upsetting when they are sick or just not themselves. You think maybe your illness has been brought on by stress? (That's just a thought I had) Anyway, take care of yourself so you can feel better and take care of the fur kids.

maybe your illness has been brought on by stress?

That thought did enter my mind but I really do think that I caught a 24 hr. bug of some kind. The stomach cramps and all that goes w/it have stopped and I'm not as dizzy as I was so things are looking up.

Speaking of looking up, Pidge came upstairs and sat in the hallway for a good while. When I noticed she was gone, I went downstair to look for her but she wasn't there. She was sitting in the dining room window watching the birds and the cars go by. So the subQ treatment must have perked her up. She hasn't eaten yet but maybe tomorrow. Here's hoping....

Coco Puff is getting better and better. I saw him playing w/one of Gary's catnip mice. Quite a change from parking his behind in the hallway and not budging.

So, all in all, there is definite improvement w/Mary and the Fur Posse.

I am glad to hear the three of you seem to be improving. Keep heading in the right direction!!

Pidge came upstairs on her own early this morning and joined the rest of the Fur Posse for breakfast. She didn't eat much but apparently it was enough. I just now gave her the subQ and she vomited during it, so I guess the food was too much for her, poor girl. And she's sneezing again which means I'll probably have to start her on Clindamycin which will also upset her tummy. Sigh.
