Worried about Groucho

[momcat]

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!

I'm a little late to this thread, but it certainly sounds as if Groucho's doctor is a gem! She seems on top of things, and Groucho seems to be doing well. The weight problem - well, Mordred's cardiologist wants him to lose 3-1/2 pounds!! I wish you luck with the weight loss, for I know how very, very difficult it is.

Listen to your mom, Groucho- and be well!

I'm so glad to hear that Groucho is doing better and that he likes his new dry food. It sounds like he's getting great vet care and the staff and your vet all sound great. I hope that he'll continue to do well. More prayers and positive thoughts are being sent his way.

I'm sorry I wasn't here to worry along with you earlier, but at least now I can see that things are looking quite encouraging. I will still keep my fingers crossed that Groucho continues to eat his prescription food well. Please give him some scritchies from me.
