Sparky's Saga/Update #74

[Asiel]

Probably will be fine. Maybe it will settle down after some rest and extra love and it won't bother him again for a long while. Aging sucks not only for us but for the furballs too....my fingers are still crossed, can't seem to straighten them out....lol. Joshing, I'm praying he'll show he can keep up with big sis.

Ellie, I just want you to know that I feel like I am in your shoes because I love your little ones too. It has to be so hard for you. I'm thinking about all of you daily and saying some prayers for all of you. Kisses to both of them from me please and hugs to you.

Terry - thank you so much. That really means so much to me.

There was no noticeable change in Myndi, since it was the blood test that showed the thyroid issue had progressed. I'm thinking that the increased med will take care of that. We'll see with the next blood test in 6 months.

Sparky seems a little perkier, but not as much as I'd like him to be. I just have to keep a closer watch on him, but so far, he hasn't been coughing any more, so that's a good thing!

PT prayers do work wonders.

So how is our Sparky today? Any perkier?

Thanks for asking Mary - he seems somewhat better. There's nothing wrong with that boy's appetite tho. I was sitting here eating a plate of diced up cantaloupe, so of course he had to have what I was eating. A piece for me - a piece for Sparky - a piece for me - and back and forth till it was gone. That was his dessert. Is he spoiled?? - of course not.

[Prairie Purrs]

Of course he's not spoiled--he was willing to let you have half of the cantaloupe. My RB kitty Keke would not have been so generous, as "cataloupe" was one of her very favorite things.

So glad that Sparky is showing some improvement. Keep it up, little guy!

AARRGGHHHH - now he's limping - favoring his left front leg/paw. He started this last night. I've looked and prodded and can find nothing, and he doesn't yipe in pain when I do it, yet pulls that leg away from me.

He's testing me - I just know it!!!

So I'll look more closely later to see if I can find anything, and if he's not better by Tuesday, I'll have to give his favorite doc a call. Maybe that's it - he just wants to go back to see Dr Annie - he loves her.
