Max

for Max and Slick

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Aw, poor Max (and you too). I can totally understand how he feels. Sometimes when my joints hurt a lot, I wonder if I can make it to the bathroom before it's too late myself. More prayers on the way for you both.

[Randi]

I'm so sorry to read this. Thinking of you and sending more positive thoughts. Max will enjoy having you around all weekend.

Hugs and kisses to you both.

Aw, poor sweet boy! If it'll make you feel any better, Slick, my Pidge had the same problem. The Lactulose that she was taking to loosen her stool did the job alright. She was sleeping in bed w/me and tried to make it to the litterbox but couldn't. So all we can do is clean it up and know that they don't like it any more than we do. Give Max some gentle pats for me and lots of (((HUGS))) for you, my friend.

I am so sad to hear the latest news (the one before the poop on the bed). Slick, you have my number, please give me a call if you need to talk (or cry).
I hope Max can be with you through the holidays. But I know you will do what's best for him.

Hugs to you!

If you don't have my number anymore, PM me and I'll give it to you again.

Oh, how my heart aches for you and your boy.

Sadly Michaels going through a lot of the same things Slick
I had to put the litterbox close to him at the end of the bed and mash his food up so he can eat.
Hes got bad teeth , a throat infection , one good kidney and cataracts.
Hes gone off to the Vets for a good rest, and will be on antibiotics until his operation Monday.
Poor Older Cats
We are praying for Max as its such a tragedy when Our Cats get older in front of our eyes.
Like Bo Bo and John Hancock who went this year.

Bo Bo was ailing , John Hancocks was a sudden heart attack
More prayers are coming for Our Friend Max

One of my last experiences with Tigris was when he came in my bed- and purred- and then I felt it getting wet and he just peed....
Oh my.
Give him your love as long as you can- that's what you do- I know.

Lots of prayers and hugs for both of you; it's so sad when they get old and things don't work like they used to (just like us).

Sweet gentle pats for Max................

Dear Slick and Max,

I have been following this post and hesitate to reply because the sadness breaks my heart. These days bring back so many memories of the last, precious days with my Roxy and August. Every time I read about Max, the tears start flowing and I find it so hard to express my feelings.

Enjoy each other in the best way you can for as long as you can and cherish the days that were better.

Tender kisses and gentle hugs to you Sir Max. Great big bear hugs and teary kisses for your Mommy.

Just got back from the vet and he received this 3rd shot. Dr. Singh did confirm that it does take some time to see a difference, so I hold my breath and wait to see positive results. I asked him about oral pain meds and he said that they do the same as the steroid shot, so after next week, he will continue to get a poke once a month for the rest of his life, or until I see his quality of life take a nosedive.

He has peed in the bedroom somewhere. I can smell that familiar ammonia smell. I didn't smell it when I got up this morning.....I guess I'll have to get down on hands and knees and feel for wet spots - or go and purchase a black light. Anyone know another quick way of finding the pee spots??

I'm off now to go and get a fruit basket to deliver to my vets office. After that I need to get some Christmas shopping done and a heating pad for Max.

Betty - I was thinking of you yesterday and wondering of you are in town. I'm going to call you over the holidays.

Thank you again for your love and prayers. This is what Pet Talk is all about.
