Ellie-Mae not doing that great...UPDATE: 2nd update

[carole]

yes I went through it with Ash, i had the two of them then, so i just have her to concentrate on now, she really just is not my Ellie ,her purssonality is lacking it's normal fiesty spirit, and i miss that about her, she is a real character my Ellie, and she just looks depressed, i am sure the drugs are affecting her,oh well i can only hope for the best outcome here, and hope that she does a turn around, thanks David and everyone for your kind words of support, they sure help.

thanks for lighting a candle, i really appreciate it, she may have turned that corner today, she came in an scoffed quite a decent amount of food down, maybe i am just to impatient, expecting miracles too soon, lol, not my best quality patience, here's hoping with her treatment and the love and magic of PT my lil girl will be on the mend soon. thanks everyone.

well things are not going to well with Ellie, i have not seen much improvement at all despite the injection and now her chemo drug cycoblastin, in fact i think it is making her worse, day after never wants to eat much, and i am thinking maybe my poor girl feels sick, it has taken a lot of coaxing on my part to make her eat her daily food, she sniffs it and walks away, but i am not having that, and i can with lots of lovely pats and encouragement get her to eat most of her food.

She is probably getting enough but today is not a good day, i could not get her to eat much at all and she just seems miserable today, i am very concerned, and i just don't know what to do from here on, i will give it a bit more time, and then dicuss with my vet, but it is not looking good for my sweet girl,so please lots of prayers,good thoughts, whatever you can spare, i want my Ellie to get better, i am wondering if it is even worth having her on this new drug, if it does nothing and makes her feel yuck, i think it will not be my plan of treatment for her,but what i have no idea, there appears to be nothing else available.

I am fretting for her, and it makes me so sad, i just want to cry my heart out, i love this wee girl so much, and apart from this she appears to be healthy, it is just not fair at all, she has been through so much in her life, and i want her to continue to have a good long life, but it is not looking that way,still i am not giving up on her, might just be a temporary set back,although in my heart i know it is not, but i am trying to be positive for her, thanks for listening it always helps me to share my worries.

I'm so sorry, Carole, prayers continue. I don't know what else we can do....

I wonder if she misses Ash and is depressed?

Whatever it is, all prayers going out to sweet Ellie-Mae. She is a beautiful girl - and so loved by her devoted Meowmie. You do everything you can for her, Carole, and I am sure Ellie-Mae knows that. You are her rock.

Yes it has been a real tough day today, that rock you suggest i am Candace is not very hard today, i am dismayed at the treatment not helping her, today she has only eaten enough to feed a mouse, and no matter how much i encourage her,she is only eating so little, i can tell her mouth is sore, by the way she eats,despite so much medication, we just are not winning the battle.

No candace she is not missing Ash, they were not friends, i bought her here four years ago, and they used to fight before that on our property,but thanks for the thought, she certainly could be depressed alright, due to all that medication she is on, but mostly she is a bright wee thing despite it all, but not today, maybe tomorrow will be better, she does have her ups and downs, just have to hope there is light at the end of the tunnel, but at the moment it is looking very dark
