[rg_girlca]

I am so sorry to hear that your precious Dusty's health is declining.

She is such a beautiful girl and those pictures of her are just too darn adorable.

Prayers on the way for Dusty and major {{{{{{HUGS}}}}}} for you.

I know that whatever time she has left with you, will be full of love and contentment.

Dusty refused to keep her pain meds down today. I got it in her first try but about 10 seconds later I could see she was "thinking" too hard about it and yup, you guessed it, all her food and her pill came out. *sigh* Dusty is too smart for her own good, always has been. I'm going to try again in a bit here and she needs her lasix shot also. Poor thing, I don't know if she realizes I'm not trying to stress her out on purpose I'm trying to help her. I will say this is the longest I've ever been able to get pills in her (going on 3 months now semi regularly), in the past it was 3 days tops! Her old vet even tried a pill shooter, 3 techs and still couldn't pill her, they finally called me to come in to do it because Dusty kept holding her breath till she'd turn blue and pass out just so she didn't have to take pills, I got them in her first try. Her current vet (my boss) says he's never ever seen a cat that bad about oral medication but so coopertive about injections. lol

Awe... Dusty, you have to take your meds to feel a little better sweetie. We love to see your adorable little face and hope that you are not feeling too achey. Be the sweetie we know you are and take your pills for your meowmie... she worries about you so.

I did manage to get her Tramadol in her today with the help of my mom who stopped over to help distract Dusty so she wouldn't 'think' about it. lol The pill has kicked in but it doesn't seem to be helping quite as much as it did the other day, we'll have to see how she feels tomorrow, sometimes it seems to be a delayed effect. Dusty is high as a kite right now lol (Tramadol is an opium based pain pill)

Bad news is I rearranged our bedroom today so the bed is near a window for the summer, but Dusty highly dislikes the new arrangement. I took her up there to show her where her sandboxes got moved to and she limped around a bit, laid down looking around with drugged eyes, then promptly limped a fast pace back downstairs! Dunno if the pill made things look wierd to her or if her old mind just doesn't remember a couple years ago when we had the same arrangement of furniture?

Thank you all for your kind words and prayers for Dusty, we both appreciate them.
