I fear that my senior Boo is on his decline; *Update #109; 10/13

I lit a candle for Boo just now

Thanx, Phesina and Cassiesmom, for the candles. I've been remiss in that dept. I light candles at home every day, though, but I should try to remember to light them on the site. Boo says "Thanx!"

I've also been remiss in the candle dept. and will go there now and light a couple for Boo.

You and Boo will be in my thoughts and prayers, Mary.

Prayers on the way for you and sweet Boo from me too.

Mary,I'm sorry to hear that Boo isn't himself. I hope that everything will go well at Boo's appointment tomorrow and I hope it's nothing serious. Lots of prayers and positive thoughts are being sent his way.

Boo slept w/me for a good part of the night so I'm feeling pretty good about that. Maybe he was just going through a bad spell; I'm hoping. Well, we'll see what Dr. Lee has to say. Boo was due for blood work anyhow. I'll keep you posted.

Well, Boo Bear is doing a little better today. He weighs more than I thought at 7 1/2 lbs. He just looks so thin and boney. Dr. Lee told me to put him back on his thyroid meds and hopefully he'll be able to keep them down this time. I gave him one as soon as we got home and so far so good. His heart rate was 220 which alarmed Dr. Lee. He said that we had to get that heart rate down b/c it could easily cause him to throw a blood clot. The meds should take care of that. His temp was also low and the meds should help that as well. I think he had problems before b/c he has a problematic gag reflex so when I give him the pill I also give him some Cat Lax and that seemed to have helped. He should have blood work done in a month and we'll check his temp and heart rate, of course. Dr. Lee thought that his blood pressure would be high but it wasn't, so that's good news. So all in all, a pretty good report.
