Peanut to the white coats

Lots of hugs and positive vibes winging their way to you and Peanut tonight. Come on Peanut baby, keep eating and drinking and feel better.

Yes, he did say there were no crystals - whew!

As for boarding, I didn't think it was anything more than a UTI, so I was just going to have the normal pet sitter come in twice a day for them and to give Peanut her meds. She has administered meds before and has no problem with it. I will see how Peanut is doing tonight when I get home, and if things seem better I'll just leave it as is, but if I think she's worse or no better, I'll just take all day tomorrow off and take her for the ultrasound tomorrow morning before we leave and my boss will just have to deal with it. He did have to "express" her bladder while she was there because I couldn't get a good sample from her before we went. He didn't mention that he felt anything unusual, but then again he wasn't specifically feeling for that either.

Oh, and I've also given the vet the pet sitter's name and I will be giving her a letter authorizing her to make decisions on Peanut's behalf. Of course if anything majorly serious happened they would consult me first, but to just bring her in and have the vet look her over she has complete authority.

About Feng Shui - cats have invented it

I am sure you are doing the right things

**Medusa** · 06-21-2005, 03:09 PM

Wow, that feng shui comment was quite helpful to me, too. I thought the same thing as you did, Debbie, when my Puddy slept in the same spot as Peeka before Peeka passed over. Let's pray this one through together.

Blessings,

Smokey the Elder had a tough URI 8 years ago and ended up having to go on a very strong antibiotic called Tribrissen since Clavamox and Baytril didn't work. Poor Peanut may have a resistant strain, or maybe the meds take awhile to kick in. Smokey had some scary output while the meds were working.

I talked to my boss and I'm not coming to work tomorrow but will instead take Peanut to the vet. The boss is usually a pain in the you know what, but sometimes he's just the best!

I'm glad I will have some answers before we leave.

**Barbara** · 06-21-2005, 03:44 PM

Glad I'll know too. I'm on a business trip tomorrow but I'll check as soon as I come home.

GOOD! Waiting is the hardest part, and now you won't have to wait as long.

**slick** · 06-21-2005, 07:58 PM

Debbie, I'm so glad that you are taking the day off tomorrow. Best of luck, my friend and I'll be saying a special prayer tonight.

**Jennie Lu** · 06-21-2005, 08:57 PM

Good luck tomorrow, Peanut. I hope they make ya all better.

**krazyaboutkatz** · 06-21-2005, 11:21 PM

Debbie, I hope that everything goes well with Peanut tomorrow. Good luck and please keep us updated.

**sandragonfly** · 06-22-2005, 04:41 AM

YAY! tomorrow!! waiting is not a good feeling!

glad you get to get her in earlier (and have the sweetest boss in the world!) and have her check a little bit extra more..

it's a heartbreaking to hear that your dear peanut was sleeping in the same spot of tubby's! SCARY!!

hope she'd not do that again!!

hang in there, little princess peanut, please! do not leave or go down ...yet!

imagine me sitting next to you at white coats and hugging you

**Maya & Inka's mommy** · 06-22-2005, 07:32 AM

Oops, just saw this thread. I should check out "Cat Health" more often...

Get better as soon as you can dear Peanut!

**Tubby & Peanut's Mom** · 06-22-2005, 09:15 AM

She has a small tumor.

Although the vet felt her prognosis was good. He thinks we caught it early enough, and she is healthy otherwise, so she is probably under the knife as we speak.

They are going to keep her there and I'll pick her up on Monday. I felt this was the best because we couldn't take her with us, and I didn't want to leave her home alone with only the pet sitter coming in, so they will take good care of her until I can pick her up, and that will also give her a good chance to heal before CJ starts stalking her again.

So, please say a prayer that he gets it all and that she will have a full recovery.

Terry said that since I left with her, CJ has been roaming the house looking for her. Poor little guy is going to be home alone all weekend, but Anne will be coming in twice a day so hopefully he won't be too lonely.
