[Randi]

I'm glad you got a sample. Let's hope the result is good!

Best of luck!!

I'm glad you were finally able to get a sample of Grasshopper's pee. Now hopefully her tests will come out normal. Prayers and positive thoughts are still on the way.

I guess he didn't want to be wakened to kitty pee. Why not? [/B][/QUOTE]


I don't know why.

That's the Pee of Joy and Hope!

Still thinking of your lovely Grasshopper. Hope things are going well.

We went and donated $$$$$ to the vet this afternoon - she's gained .9 lb and I'll know tomorrow how her blood work is coming along. Found out she does have arthritis in her lower back, right where the tail begins - which explains what we already knew - why she has some trouble jumping up. We keep stools around for her to get onto her favorite chairs, but the vet advised to watch how she gets down, as that has more impact on the vertebrae. So now I am more careful to lift her down from my chair when I need to get up, since she lives next to me most of the time. The X-rays were cool to look at, though . She was pretty stressed today, so is a little stand-offish tonight. She'll get over it, I guess. But I may have to start cooking for her, since now she doesn't seem to want her cat food - just people food! Oh, and last night she hocked up a bunch of left over turkey - but I think it was a little too old and probably indigestible, from the looks of it.
Thanks so much for the concern - it really keeps my spirits up, especially since Dadcat is a little pissy about the $$. He really loves her, but he does come from where animals are vetted at home and sometimes has trouble with my "city" ways.
Oh, well.

yay 'Hopper! Keep it up! (and keep up the home cookin' Ko! )

So glad to hear wonderful news of weight gain. Here's hoping for an equally positive return on the blood work!!

Headbumpies right back at ya, Ko & Company!

Thanks for the update Dadcats have a responsibility to carry on about cat vet costs, it's in their self sufficient genes But we know that he is a softie underneath and would never settle for anything less than the best care for Grasshopper.

I looked at your Christmas card last night, and the Grasshopper fur was missing ... yet another reason she has to make it so she can contribute to this year's cards Look after yourself, we are thinking of you.

[krazyaboutkatz]

It's good to hear that she's gained a little weight. Prayers are still on the way for good results on her blood test.

Such good news! And don't you feel that if they need a home-cooked meal - you go right ahead and give them nothing but the best.

DadKat........I am referring to Hopper's food.......not yours, sorry!

I'll be praying that the bloodwork has good results too.

Gini and Rascal send hugs.......all around!

Grasshopper, I will be hanging aroung here until I find out about your blood wrok. Waiting is the scariest part. Hope all goes well.

DadKat......now be honest, WHAT ELSE would you use that $$$$$ for that is MORE important???!!!??

[HayleyRosie]

It's great to hear she has gained a little weight. I will still be praying that there will be good results from the blood test. Keep us posted.

I am so glad that Grashopper seems to be doing a little better

In case you are wondering I have seen recipes on the web (and a couple of small cookbooks) that provide home made recipes for animals who can not (or should I maybe say will not ) tolerate commercially available pet food. So if you are going the route of preparing her meals you might want to take a look around for these.

BTW, I am sure that Dadcat didn't have a better use for the $$$ and he would have regretted it if he didn't spend it on Grasshopper.

We will be keeping our fingers and paws crossed hoping for positive news from the blood work
