Maya Linn AND Murphy to the vet on Monday...

[moosmom]

Maya Linn either has a URI or allergies that are wreaking havoc on her respiratory system. I just gave her a Chlortrimeton and she's resting well. That's just till I can get her to the vet.

Murphy, who is bone thin at age 16, is losing clumps of fur. I have a feeling that LuLu is stressing her out. She's always trying to play with Murphy and all poor Murph wants is to be left the hell alone. I looked where the clumps came from and there's a red mark. I KNOW they're going to want to do blood work on her. Oh well, so much for the rest of my savings. My babies come first!!!

I'm sorry to hear this. I hope that everything goes well at the vets and that it doesn't cost you too much. I know how expensive the vets can be. Good luck.

KAK,

It's all about responsible parenting. 2 or 4 legged!!

I was down at the beach with my daughter and my best friend. I didn't sleep a wink because I kept thinking about Murphy. I see little red bumps and she is bone, and I do mean BONE THIN!! She had her right thyroid nodule removed 2 years ago. I'm really worried about her. She'll be 16 in December.

I came home early to check in on her and the others. She's alone in my bedroom to herself with a big bowl of food, water, litterbox, radio and a window to sit in, undisturbed. Gives me peace of mind too.

So how did their vet visit go? Hopefully they'll both be fine and it didn't cost you too much. My two new babies go back tomorrow morning,8-17-10, for rechecks and I hope everything will go well for them too.

The vet's office got their days mixed up. Actually Murphy's appointment is today at 3.

Maya Linn's sneezing and runny nose I believe to be allergies. I'm going to give her Chlortrimeton to easer her symptoms. They come and go. The vet said that's fine. If she had a URI, my other cats would've caught it by now. She's had these symptoms for 2 weeks.

I spoke with my friend who researched Hypothyroidism. ALL the symptoms of it, Murphy has. Yanking out clumps of fur, jumpy. Her litterbox crying has me worried, though. My main fear is Renal Failure. If I can get her the help she needs and make her as comfortable as possible, that is my mission. She was chasing a milk jug ring the other day!!! There is hope!!

I'll post when I get home. Would you guys mind prayers and candles for my old lady?? I'd appreciate it and PT prayers always work!

My prays are coming that it's nothing serious with Murphy and they will be able to fix her up as good as new.

My prays are also coming for Maya Linn. And prays for you of course
