aww Christa - I am sorry that Josie has flared up again - so scary!! But thank God that you called, Tyler answered and she has received her shot. I have said a prayer for her and for you - that she will start feeling better SOON. Check back in would you?? I will be MIA for a few hours but will check later (((HUGS)))

Thanks everyone for the good thoughts & prayers. Josie says Thank you too!

Update on Josie:

She is feeling better. Her abdomen has stopped jerking and she seems to be breathing better. She is super sleeeeepy though! She usually sleeps for 2 days solid after her shot!

I forgot to tell ya'll earlier, she's gained over a half a pound since her last shot. She's just an ounce shy of 15 pounds now.

The vet said weight management is a loosing battle for kitties on steriods. But if she's gaining a half a pound a month . . . geez, she's going to explode by next summer!!!

Poor thing, unfortunately it's that way with humans too. My nephew was on steriods for his Crohns until they got it under control, poor guy gained so much weight he had stretch marks on his stomach

Better a little chubby than not being able to breathe. Poor Joise, what an awful experience for her.

So glad she is doing better...give her lots of scritches and hugs from me!

I'm glad to hear that Josie is doing better, but still sending prayers and positive thoughts that she will be back to her old self very soon.

Sweet kisses to you pretty Josie.

Josie has slept on the couch all day . . . she gets soooo sleepy after her shot, she can hardly hold her eyes open. Hopefully in a few days, she'll be back to her lively self!

Her breathing is better. A few times today, it seemed as though she was breathing hard . . . but she is a chunk . . . and it's super humid outside right now, so I think that's also making things hard for her.

Thanks for asking
