My Puddy is sick again. *UPDATE*

[Medusa]

Puddy had a restless night. I don't think she was in pain because she cries when that's the case. But she paced a lot. Dr. Feeman called w/her bloodwork results and said it came back great; the remaining kidney is not shutting down. She just has a really bad bladder infection. But I think either the pain meds or the antihistamine for the URI are too much for her because she has that tic again. So he said to stop the pain meds unless she cries and to cut the antihistamine down to 1/4 tablet. We both need a good night' sleep. I'm getting over the flu, too. But at least her kidney is doing fine. Thanx for the prayers, friends. I knew I could count on all of my PT'ers.

Great news that the blood work came back ok.
Take care of yourself and Puddy. Hopefully both of you will get a good nights sleep.

Oh my goodness. I missed this thread yesterday. Thank goodness Puddy is ok. What a scare!
You and all the kitties will be in my thoughts to get (and stay) healthy.

I also missed seeing this thread. I'm so sorry to hear that Puddy is so sick. I hope that the meds will help her get well quickly and that she'll feel better soon.

My Storm also has a possible UTI which I caught yesterday morning. I'm still waiting to hear about his bloodwork and urinalysis results. He's on 2 kinds of meds. He sympathizes with Puddy.

Puddy had a so-so night; still a little restless and she didn't sleep w/me because my bed is so high and she can't jump up. When I lift her up, she gets mad cuz I think she wants to do it herself. So she slept in the guest room which has officially become Puddy's room; she has food, water and a litter box in there. She's doing ok this morning but she's still not herself. I only gave her the antibiotic last night, no pain meds and no antihistamine. I wanted the tic to stop long enough for her to be able to put her head down. Poor little girl couldn't even do that because of the tic. So, hopefully, she got some rest. I did give her the antihistamine this morning, though, because she's sneezing. This house sounds like a hospital emergency ward. Everyone has been sneezing and crying. The worst, though, was when Puddy passed blood in her urine and even a blood clot! That freaked me out! But none of that now, so the clindamycin is definitely working. I'll be glad to get May over with. It's been quite a hectic and sickly month for all of us.

I awoke to Puddy crying again. She's been going in and out of the litterbox but she's peeing and pooping and no blood either, so I'm not sure what the problem is. Maybe one of the meds isn't agreeing w/her but I have to keep her on the clindamycin for the UTI. I suppose I could try stopping the antihistamine, although it would help w/the sneezing. But if it's causing her problems, maybe I should stop it. I just don't know. Of course, here it is Sunday and a holiday weekend yet. Ideas, anyone, please????

I am sorry - I have been away and didn't see this thread.
While I am happy to hear it is not Puddy's remaining kindey I don't have an idea what's going on. The antibiotics should have improved her symptoms by now....
Just keeping paws crossed for Puddy.

[Craftlady]

I'd stop the antihistime for the day.
Try feeding her before the antibotic doseage (help her tummy).

I'm so sorry to hear of your Puddy's illness and all your household health woes. I hope all of you will be on the road to recovery ASAP and my thoughts and prayers are with you all.

I didn't give her the antihistamine this morning and she ate some canned Fancy Feast gourmet chicken, a lot of it. The antihistamine has an appetite stimulant in it, though. But she kept it down, no more crying, so I felt ok w/leaving her to go to the office for a couple of hours. When I got home, she was eating again and wanted to be downstairs w/the rest of the fur posse. Right now she's in the enclosed patio room and seems to be doing well. So hopefully she's going to get better and this weekend won't stress her out too much.

Fancy Feast Gourmet is popular at our house these days!

In my house too! Mary, how is Puddy today?

Puddy's hangin' in there, the tough little squirt. She has that nasty URI that my other furkids got so she's listless right now. But the UTI is under control, no more bloody urine or blood clots; she's still on clindamycin. I stopped the antihistamine because it was giving her such a bad tic that she couldn't even put her head down. She doesn't have a whole lot of strenth; she still can't hop up in bed w/me, so I lift her (when I feel like taking my life into my hands). But she's a strong girl and she didn't get the URI as badly as everyone else did, esp. Yodie, who goes in for her checkup tomorrow to make sure the ear polyp hasn't grown back. So please keep the prayers comin'. We're all doing much better here but we can still use those prayers.

Belated prayers here! How are the patients doing? (this includes YOU, Mary )

HUGS!

Just saw this thread. I hope Puddy is doing much better now and feeling like her normal self again.
