Prayers for my Yodie, please; She has MRSA; *Update* 1/5; good/bad news; #269

I certainly hope you're over beating yourself up

Not yet.

She's quite right and very gracious to let you know she understands, difficult though it is. Cats are a lot smarter than they let on. A little Just Us Two time, quiet cuddles and treats, might do you both a world of good.

Love, Columbine

And a wee pinch of nip?

She just is not acting like my Yodie. She sleeps by the space heater and doesn't move except to use the litter box or to occasionally munch some dry cat chow. I know it's depressing to wear the collar but jeez, I thought she'd adapt by now and be her ornery self. She vomited her meds last night; she hasn't done that for a while so I brought her in bed w/me but she didn't want to stay. She's been sleeping under my bed so I put a micro fiber blanket and a rug under the bed for her but she just can't snuggle in. She lies on her belly w/her head sort of propped up. If she hasn't shown any change by tomorrow morning, I'm going to call Dr. Lee again. She's eating, using the litterbox, etc. but she just isn't right.

Well, I just fed the Fur Posse their breakfast and when I called out "Who's hungry?", she came w/the rest of the group; I didn't have to take the food to her. She's eating right now w/gusto and she was quite vocal while I was preparing everything. Maybe she's on the mend? God, I hope so, please.

ETA: I just gave her the meds and she was not happy! LOL Who can blame her, poor li'l girl. It seems Coco Puff gets the brunt of her dissatisfaction. If he's anywhere in her perimeter, he gets it good and he just takes it, doesn't fight back, just lets her pummel him. LOL But now Creamsicle isn't eating! Creamsicle not eat? Unheard of. Dr. Lee discontinued her Prednisolone and started her on Medrol to see if we can take some weight off her but he told me that it would take a while and I know that was true for me when I was on Pred but this is two mornings in a row when she turned her nose up at breakfast. She hates canned food, will only eat Purina Cat Chow, so I'm not sure what the deal is. Good grief, I think I have a "mewtiny" on my hands.

ETA: Another update: LBK was outside waiting for his breakfast so I fed him and when I came back inside, Yodie was looking out the glass door, as though she was looking for me. I'm taking that as a good sign. She even showed signs of wanting to play w/her mousie that Maggie (Pinot) sent but, of course, the collar got in the way and frustrated her. Thanx for the magic mouse, Maggie! Things are looking up!

I'm so glad to have a more positive post about Yodie! Poor thing has been through enough! I think Pinot did put a little extra magic in that particular mousie!

Keep us posted - awaiting permanent removal of the collar!

Glad to hear that Yodie seens to have turned a corner and is doing better...
