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

[Prairie Purrs]

Poor Yodie and poor you! I hope the incision heals properly this time around. I know too well the emotional (and financial) toll of having multiple pets getting sick all at once. My thoughts are with you and Yodie and Pidge and Boo and the rest of the posse.

Gentle hugs to you, Mary. And how horrid for little Yodie. Huge PT Prayers that Yodie will recover quickly and completely.

She's doing remarkably well, I must say. I was expecting her to be groggy and out of it so when we got home, I put her in my spare guest room where she has a litter box, food, water, etc. I went to check on Pidge and I heard all kinds of banging noises coming from the room Yodie was in so I went to investigate, concerned that she might have fallen. No. She was on my desk, going through all the gifts that I haven't yet wrapped. She apparently felt well enough to get into mischief so I brought her downstairs w/everybody and she flopped over on her back as though she wanted a belly rub. She never, and I mean never, does that. I rubbed her belly and she purred like a motor boat. I then fed everyone and she chowed down w/the rest of them.

So I guess she's tougher than I gave her credit for. It's her Mom that's the weakling, I guess. I thought I was a tough cookie but these last few weeks have worn me out. When Pidge got sick two days ago, I thought I would drop from exhaustion. W/work and trying to get holiday things done, cleaning the house and going to my own dr., which is also a long drive, it's just been hectic.

Pidge, on the other hand, is not doing as well as I'd like. She's wanted to stay under my bed ever since I brought her home from her last vet visit. She's hardly eating at all. I tried to get her to eat tonight and she turned away. I gave her some of her favorite treats and she didn't want them either. I'm just going to let her be. As long as she isn't suffering or vomiting, etc., I think that's the best course.

I'm beyond happy to hear your good news about Yodie! Asking for tummy rubs? She must be feeling better, would you rub that tummy for me? More than anything I hope this is the beginning of a positive trend. You most definitely deserve it!

Prayers are still being prayed for Pidgie and will continue

More prayers for Yodie, Pidgie, and YOU, Mary. We are all sending our love and very best wishes and healing energies.

[Pinot's Mom]

It is good news about Yodie - and, not to be repetitious, but prayers for you and Pidge and the rest of the gang!

Prayers for Pidgie, Yodie, and meowmie! (and I lit a candle too)

[Anikaca77]

I'm so glad Yodie is doing so much better!

I'm sorry to hear about Pidge not wanting to eat though. My prays are coming for you and all your babies.

I will light another candle for you today. It comes with prayers that Yodie will continue to do well - and love those belly rubs!

Yodie is doing really well. She's even peppy and this time the collar doesn't seem to depress her as it did before. Something occurred to me, though: I beat myself up pretty badly when her incision came open b/c I forgot to put her collar back on. But yesterday, as soon as Dr. Lee removed the staples, the incision reopened immediately. So now I'm thinking that it wasn't my fault after all. This time he did subcutaneous dissolvable sutures and also regular sutures on the surface. I'm wondering why he didn't do that the first time and save Yodie three surgeries and me lots of money. I think I need to have a chat w/him.
