Worried about Groucho

[phesina]

I'm so sorry to learn about Groucho. The poor baby; that's so worrying when you know that something is off but you don't know just what.. or what to do about it. I'm glad your vet is checking all this out thoroughly. Between you and her and Groucho, you will do the right things.

God bless you all. Prayers and good wishes and healing energies and white light are being sent from us.

Love from us all ,

Groucho, we're so sorry you're not feeling well! You listen to you doc and your Meowm and get yourself better!

Purrs and much love, Pinot and Mom

I can't thank all of you enough for your prayers, positive thoughts, and good vibes for Groucho. He has always been very healthy so I'm hoping that will work in his favor. For whatever reason he would never eat canned food so when we told Dr. Pearson she switched him over to the dry prescription food. Fortunately he seems to like it and has been eating. He's to get half a cup a day though Dr. Pearson said if he's still hungry to let him have a bit more.

Dr. Pearson said she'll call me when the lab tests come back but no word yet. Better yet, there have been no problems with the litter box and the contents are as they should be. Since his food was changed a few weeks ago, Groucho hasn't been vomiting and is consistently back to using the litter box. We've been watching that very closely.

Staff at our vet's office are wonderful and very caring. One thing that's very important to me is how the staff approaches and handles their patients. Everyone treats Groucho as if he was their own pet, they give lots of pets and scritchies, talk to him softly, are very gentle with him and don't rush to do anything that might be upsetting or uncomfortablefor him. They go out of their way to keep him calm, he actually fell asleep on the examining table while waiting for the doctor to come in.

Elyse, Mike leaves on Thursday. Dr. Pearson and I both think that has something to do with this though other factors may also be part of it.

Groucho wants all of you to know how grateful he is for your hugs and lovies and sends lots of purrs to say thank you.

You might have Mike leave behind an unwashed tee or sweat shirt for Groucho to cuddle with while he's gone. I've sent those to the vets with my cats when they had a stay over. It helps them from getting too lonesome. That way groucho will still have you and the shirt so he might not feel so lonesome.

That's exactly what I plan to do, in fact I asked Mike to leave two T-shirts. One will be at his favorite spot on the couch. I'll also make absolutely sure that Groucho has free access to Mike's room with the other shirt on his bed or chair.

Dr. Pearson called this afternoon with Groucho's lab results. She said his white blood cell count has improved slightly but she still wants to keep watching it. Doctor said her main concern right now is his weight. Fortunately he is eating the dry prescription food so he'll stay on that unless and until Dr. Pearson changes it. I also talked to her about what a beggar he is with our food. As hard as it will be to not give in and let him have a taste, Dr. Pearson said he gets his prescription food only. She was glad to hear there has been no blood in the litter box, something we're watching very closely. Should we notice anything, we're to call her immediately.

As concerned as I am about my sweetie, I do feel better knowing Groucho is under the care of such a thorough, caring, wonderful vet. I would highly recommend Dr. Pearson to anyone!

Again, thank you - all of you - for your prayers and support! Groucho has really enjoyed all the scritchies, hugs, and lovies you have sent him.

I hope Groucho is feeling okay today. It's always so worrisome when our beloved furbabies begin to show signs of not feeling up to par.
((hugs)) and headbumpies to you both!
