Speckles Needs Prayers!

[trayi52]

I just seen this thread, Slick, and I am really heartbroken to find out you are going through so much right now. Prayers and good thoughts are on the way to you and our precious Speckles. I will pray that Speckles will get better soon.

A thousand hugs goes out to you, my very special friend.

I've been away from Pet Talk for a few days and have completely missed this.


Slick, of course you and Speckles are top priority on my prayer list. My thoughts and well wishes are with you both.

Slick, I hope the flushing has helped and Speckles is with you now, cuddling and purring. Don't give up hope! I'm sure when you have to start the sub-q-fluids you'll handle it just fine!

I'm sending more positive thoughts and both Fister and I are keeping all fingers and paws crossed for Speckles and you.

You know where to find me if you need to talk.

((((((hugs))))))

In the middle of the night I heard Specks trying to jump on the stepstool beside the bed and stumble. So I lifted her up there and we all promptly fell asleep. I've rigged up the fluids in the spare bedroom and put a soft blanket on top of the freezer. Just finished giving her morning dose and it's very obvious that my baby girl is truly not well. She didn't flinch at all. The first time I put in the needle it was not far enough in and the fluids started spreading on her fur. So I reinserted it in a different place then started the flow. Everything seemed to go OK and the bag went down by 100 CC's but she didn't get that lump on the back of her neck like I was told she would have. The blanket was not wet and neither was her fur so I'm assuming that it was done correctly. Tonight my friend Elizabeth is coming over and she'll help me out. Oh yeah, when I took the needle out I jabbed it in my finger.... so I guess that one will be replaced right away.

Debbie, the kidney med she is on does contain Potassium so I hope that she will improve on that.

Today I have to play Santa for the Humane Society so I will keep her in her own room separated so I can monitor her input and output. Looking at her right now....she really looks like she's on death's door and this is just killing me. As I've said to others in an email....my heart has never felt such pain before.

Prayers continue to be said for you and Speckles that she can perk up abit and remain comfortable for a while yet. And by the way, the few times I've been hopitalized, it does take a couple days to get the strength in my legs back again - they just get used to doin' nothing.

Slick, I am praying that now Speckles is back home with you that she may perk up after the meds have a chance to take hold.

Each day will be very special and I know that she is aware of all that you are trying to do for her.

I think Karen is right - being cramped in a cage probably has made her legs a bit stiff.

Giant hugs being sent your way.

My legs and hips get stiff whenever I sit for very long! Poor Speckles. You are a saint to take such loving care of her.....

(((HUGS and PRAYERS))) for you both!

Slick, my heart goes out to you as I know what you are going through.

I know it will take time for the pain to go away on your loss, but she was so well loved and will never be forgotten. There will be a day, when you are thinking about your Speckles, that your tears will be replaced by a smile.
She was lucky to have you and you were so blessed to have her for 18 1/2 years. Thank you for loving her enough to end her suffering.

((((((HUGS)))))) to you dear Slick.

Rest in Peace sweet Speckles.
