Luna is not well; asking for some positive thoughts (cute new picture in #42)

[katladyd]

I am sending powerful healing thoughts to dear Luna. Actually for all three of you! I hope it is nothing serious and that the pain meds pick Luna right back up and she starts to play with Lily and the computer screen again.

I'm sorry to hear that Luna isn't feeling well. It's so hard to watch our pets age and to not know what's wrong when they're not acting normally. Lily may be smelling the vet smell on Luna so hopefully in a few days things will be back to normal again. Lots of prayers and positive thoughts are being sent Luna's way. Please take care. (((HUGS)))

Meow Luna,
I'm very sorry to hear that you're not feeling very well. It is scary when we have to go to see the vet, all of your fellow kitties understand that. But my Meowmie always tells me doctor is my friend. Doctor is your friend too and wants to help you feel better. Please let her help you, okay? I'm sending you lots of feel better purrs and headbumpies!

Your friend,
Groucho

She's doing better!!

We spent a good a night (with both kitties sleeping in my bed again). After breakfast she went back into her hiding corner, but she came out at noon, wanted me to brush her, and then she spent some time in the same room with Lily and me. Now she's in the kitties' room where she's sleeping on the top of the cabinet. Lily has calmed down also; she's no longer nervous, or hissing at Luna.

I don't know if it's the pain med or the PT prayers that helped; it's probably both!

Anyway, thanks a lot for all your support and prayers (and Luna says thank you to Groucho for his support, too! )

I'll keep you updated.

Oh Gee! I hate reading one of your lovely girls is haveing any kind of problem. Healing thoughts and prayers are being sent for her. I hope it's only something minor and a quick fix will fix her right up, good as new!

[Kirsten]

Thank you, Laura! Looks like we posted at the same time, because I just posted an update, she seems to be doing better today.
I really really hope it was just a temporary thing!

Kirsten - I wouldn't rule out the heat as being her problem. It can really do a number on some animals (and people ), and cause then to act as if they were sick. Glad to hear that she is feeling better tho. Do you have a fan that you could turn on so that she can seek out the breeze from that?

Yes, I have a fan, but it's not very effective, and she doesn't like being near it when it's running. But you could be right regarding the heat; it's a little cooler today, maybe she's feeling better because of that. She's no longer a young cat, and she's overweight. I also used to feel very ill in the summer when I was still overweight.

Ahhh, She looks so serious and intent. Photogenic

Kirsten we are so sad and sorry that your Dear Luna is not well
That has to be the saddest and scariest thing of having a Cat Companion , and that is when they are not well and we are afraid for them.
We all are praying for your Dear Luna, that she will be well soon and that she and Lily will be cuddling soon.

Thank you for your concern everyone. She seems to be doing better, at least she doesn't seem to be in pain anymore, but she's still on pain meds. Spoke to my vet today and we agreed to give her the meds for at least a week. If the problems return once she's off medication, I have to continue the treatment. My vet suspects it's arthritis.

It's cooling down here right now, and this morning was the first time since last weekend that she ate all of her breakfast. She went back to her hiding place after breakfast, though, but I'm beginning to wonder if she has just started to like this place. She has a blanket there, and it's a quiet place... Apart from spending her days there, she's acting absolutely normal, so I really think she's doing better. They predicted very cold temperatures for the next days, so we'll see what happens...

Karen, that sounds like a great advice for the next heatwave... thanks a lot!

My senior cat, Grandma, will pick one spot to sleep in for weeks or even months. Then she tires of it and moves to another. She took to sleeping under the bed last month which worried me. Now she has decided she wants to sleep right in the middle of the carpet under the ac vent in the bedroom. She eats, drinks and does her 'business' fine. AND still gets in bed with me and smacks me with her treat bag should I neglect giving her some. Guess she just likes a change of scenery. Maybe Luna is going through that too. So, glad she is feeling better.

Happy to hear Luna is doing better Kirsten. Here's hoping she'll stay on a healthy road so you can relax and stop worrying. I guess these heat waves are as hard if not harder on our furry friendsas they are on us.
