Any last minute advice for Bella?

[Randi]

I'm here and I have the same phone no. Call if you want to talk. Or PM me.

Fister is crazy about Royal Canin's Sensitive, it has 33% protein, 22% fat, but also 7,1 ash, which I don't think is good.

I looked for the pictures I have of Bella, they are from 2006 I believe. Will attach some here:

Still praying for Bella, and for you as well, Sus.

Prayers for your dear Bella and for you too, Sus.

Hello again. Thank you for your prayers and kind thoughts. You have no idea what it means to feel that I am not alone in this. And thank you Randi for the pictures of Bella! I remember when we (you, that is) did the "Winter Olympics" of ... what year? and Bella was a harsh and almost fair umpire - those were the days!

This afternoon Bella has managed to go to the toilet without help from the paraffin oil, and she has become a little more lively and interested within the last hour because it is time for her beloved raw chicken lumps. And I'm just happy to see her eat a little.

I still don't know what to do tomorrow and tomorrow is closing in on us. Oh, my. I shall leave PT for now, because Bella sleeps near my workstation, and I have noticed that light seems to annoy her.

Love,
Sus and Bella

It's good to hear Bella has perked up a bit, I hope she'll continue to get better! I have never heard of the medicine she gets, but it might take some time before you see the results, so I would wait. Of course, you know her best.

Fister and I will keep our fingers and paws crossed for her. Give her some kisses from me!

Get better, sweet Bella!

What a horrible situation to be in - we've all been there at some point. should I take her, should I wait - it's so difficult to tell.

I've never dealt with the issue of thyroidism but I have had two kitties on Metacam but it was a very low dose (two drops a day) and my vet said that it's not harmful with that low dose for a short period of time.

As for what you can give her, well I'm sorry I have no advice on that either. Both my kitties told me when they were ready to go - their eyes spoke volumes and I knew it was time.

I pray that sweet Bella perks up, eats and gives you more time. Kisses to you sweet Bella. What a gorgeous girl you are.

This is just to say, that we are NOT going to the vet today. Bella perked up a bit yesterday evening, and although I know this may only be for a short while, I just can't say goodbye today. I cancelled our appointment this morning, and luckily, the vet understood this perfectly. Oh, Bella-girl, if this was the wrong decision, then I'm so sorry. Please continue yesterdays good progress, will you?

Lots of love to all of you on pettalk!
Sus and Bella
