Taz's vet visit *update #8*

[Catty1]

{{{hugs}}}

Glad there is some improvement with Taz! Kidney failure is scary, but many many kitties on PT have done well with more fluids - even just mixing his wet food with warm water, mushy style.

If your vet suggests sub q fluids, I haven't had to deal with that yet - but Medusa and others have learned how and for many it's just 'that time of day' for both purrent and cat. A couple of treats right after doesn't hurt either.

More prayers for Taz. And don't blame yourself - Taz is 14, and kidney disease is more likely to happen as a cat gets older. I think it is coincidence that it happened after you brought two pets in.

Maybe some extra loves for Taz for the next little while would be good also - though I am sure he's getting lots of lovings!

Prayers and a candle for Taz and you, Cindy. I'm so sorry about all these challenges facing you at once.

I give my Peony, who has kidney and liver issues, subcutaneous fluids every day or so. It isn't hard, once you both get used to the routine.

May you both share much more good, comfortable, happy time together.

God bless,
Pat

Prayers for Taz are on their way. I hope he feels better. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Major prayers on the way from me for you and sweet Taz.
How well I know the feeling of being over whelmed.

Positive thoughts going out to you. I do think the furkids sense OUR stress and it effects them. You're going thru a tough time now and maybe Taz is feeling it. Don't feel guilty about the new additions to the family. Just give Tazzy boy plenty of luvin. I'm glad he's getting better. They are never with us long enough. Know that I'm thinking of you and yours.

Cindy, I'm sorry to hear about Taz and all of the stress that you're going through right now. I know all too well about being overwhelmed with so many bad things happening at once. You think that it's never going to end but it does and it will. Lots of prayers and positive thoughts are going out to both you and Taz. I also hope that Taggart will be okay too.

Thank you all so much. Yes, I realize my stress can be felt by them. And that's why the second time he fell over this morning I just talked to him like I regularly would and said - oh what are you doing that for? You're okay. Where the first time I just burst into tears (of course I had just woke up and thought I might find a dead cat in the house).

Taggart is good as new. They pulled the fox tail out of his nose. He was a little out of it when he got home, but he's better now. Thanks for thinking of him Tracey.

I will get clearer (or at least my head will be a little more clear) answers tomorrow when I go to learn how to administer the shots or whatever. I'm a little nervous, but I think...know I can do it. He's my baby, I'll do anything I can for him. And he is getting lots of lovin' today from both myself and Bruce.
