Prayers needed for Maya Linn...

[Medusa]

Yes, she probably feels insecure, Donna. When Coco Puff had that temporary spell and hearing loss, he laid down in the middle of the foyer, legs outstretched w/nothing around him as though he wanted to be able to see in every direction and bolt if he needed to. She'll come around. I'm glad Maya Linn is back home w/you. That's the best place for her now.

I just got off the phone with the vet. He sounds concerned as much as I do. He asked me if I wanted to bring her back for more observation and I told him that I'd rather she stay here so I can watch her. I've got a bad feeling about this and my gut instincts are usually right.

Right now she's laying on the couch next to her snuggle buddy, sound asleep "meowing". I'm afraid that once she's off the meds, it'll only be a matter of time.

Prayers that she surprises everyone and rebounds.

That "meowing"...prayers it is FROM the meds for some reason, and she will improve as they wear off.

Give her some gentle pats for me.

I'm glad to hear that she was able to come home. I sure hope that whatever caused this won't happen again and that she'll make a full recovery. Lots more prayers and positive thoughts are being sent her way. Please take care. (((HUGS)))

I hope that your gut instincts are off the mark this time, Donna, and that you're just tired and scared. We'll pump up the volume on the prayers. A candle for Maya Linn:

How's dear Maya Linn today, Donna?

Hugs and prayers for you both.

Catty1,

She slept by my side all night. She's doing much better. After looking at the vet records, and noticing that she had 3 different injections the day I picked her up, I attribute her actions to that.

I gave her her first dose of meds and she took it well. I'm glad I'll be home all week to keep an eye on her.

While working last night, I thought of calling the vet who owns the hospital and talking to him one on one, about the "incident" with the dogs a month ago and the possible "connection" with my cat's equilibrium problem. I wanted to ask him if he'd be willing to foot the bill for the MRI or CT scan to get to the bottom of her imbalance. But a very wise woman whom I adore, told me that I'd be cutting off my nose to spite my face. Not many vets allow you to make payments on bills (especially one like mine).

My biggest fear is that once the medicine is done, she'll go back to having equilibrium problems.

I also thought that maybe, just maybe, she has an inner ear infection from the URI she had back in September, causing her imbalance. Back then the vet did say she had alot of excess ear wax.

So I've decided that once the medicine is gone, I'm going to call and ask if I can keep her on the meds for one more month, just to be sure.

So, that's it, kiddos. I thank you so much for all your prayers and candles. I love you all very much!!

I can now breath a sigh of relief. *sigh*
