Grasshopper's Sick

[ChrisH]

Yay, great to hear that Grasshopper has put on some weight. Though it is sad that the arthritis you already guessed at is confirmed, but I guess it is good that you also know about the jumping down stuff now and you can help her out with that to.

Keeping the prayers and positive thoughts going!

Hugs

Good sow Grasshopper you're on the
road to recovery.

She's off feed, after hocking up a hairball and food last night, and her turkey the night before. Dadcat is fussing over her, bringing her little dishes of water, and tending to her like only a dad can do . I didn't get hold of the vet today, she's off today, and her partner got stuck in a major traffic jam on one of our famous California Parking Lots - A.K.A. highways! Some work crew knocked out power lines last night - shut down two major freeways and delayed the many commuters between Orange County/L.A. and San Diego most of the day. So will call tomorrow, after watching the poor, tired little critter carefully tonite. I have a feeling dad will be up late, checking on her. She hasn't slept with us the past few nights - I thought she was just mad because of all the meds!

I'm so sorry to hear that Grasshopper still isn't doing well. I sure hope that your vet will be able to help her. Prayers are still on the way.

Thinking of Grasshopper. Get well soon honey.

Poor Grasshopper. Prayers are with you.

I'm so sorry to hear Grasshopper is still not feeling well. I will keep her in my thoughts and prayers.

Have you tried tempting her with baby food?
Or there's this stuff called Nutrical for kitties that won't eat.

Prayers for your Grasshopper.

Keep fighting little girl.

Come on Hopper! I wanna hear some really good news on this next report!! Eat, pretty one. Please?

Right now it sounds like you've got Dadkat wrapped around your paw... have him fix you something you really like --liver and rice?-- then eat just a bit. It doesn't have to be much at a time, but it will tickle him (and all of us) to death!

Mom came and got me and put me in that CAGE again today. If I wan't so darn tired I'd have howled a little more, but I don't feel to good. The pretty lady that sticks things in my butt said I had lost weight - 1.5 lbs, to be exact. Sheesh, I could have told her that! I don't feel like eating, whatya expect? Anyway, they stuck me two time (mmmmrouch!!), one they said was medicine to make me better and one to "hydrate" me, what ever that means. Then Mom put me back in that stupid cage and made me sit in the big room where at least I had some company - a really nice little girl told me I was pretty! I knew that. When Mom got me home, would you believe she opened my mouth (I HATE it when she does that) and forced THREE pills down my throat! HACK! GAK! Aw, heck, it didn't take long, and I really just wanted to take a nap. But, wow, she brought me a dish of that really good stuff (I think it's for human kittens) and I really liked it. So, it's time for us to go to bed, she has given me more good food, but I think I'll finish later. I'm tired.
Thank you for praying for me - I really do feel a little better tonight. Mom was so happy when I walked into the living room - ! She and Dadcat made such a fuss over me - I gotta keep this routine up!
*BIG YAWN* Good night - Love, Grasshopper

I am glad Hopper is eating.

Grasshopper, you keep hangin' in there and let mommy take good care of you!!! I know it's hard having to get poked and prodded all the time, but you are being a good girl and we all love you!
