My little Puddy is sick again. :-(

**Medusa** · 10-12-2005, 07:15 PM

Dr. Feeman, Dr. Lee's associate, called to see how Puddy is doing because Dr. Lee will be out of the office for the next few days. Darn! But Dr. Feeman is good, too. He said to put Puddy back on subQ fluids every other day again and, if she improves, then we'll know that's what she needed. If she doesn't improve (right now she's pretty lethargic), then I'll have to take her in for more blood work. God, I don't want to do that. Not again. Poor little girl has been through so much. She's such a fighter but I can tell she's tired. I'm actually looking forward to administering the juice just to see how she does afterwards. Usually I dread it but I'm hoping that this will be what she needs. I cooked chicken for dinner tonight, her favorite, and she ate w/even more gusto than the she did the roast beef. So I'm keeping a positive attitude that the subQ fluids will do the trick.

Blessings,
M

Saying more purrayers for Puddy Mary. It sounds like good advice giving her fluids every other day to help perk her up. Glad she's enjoying the roast beast & chicken treat foods...good sign she's got an appetite still.

I'll bet it will perk up after she's juiced up well during the week, and hopefully you won't need to take her back for more tests. Give her a kiss just for me...and keep up the good work.

Puddy's appetite is encouraging! Chicken is one of the favorites around here.

Keep up the good work with the fluids, Mary! Puddy will pull through! I know it!

Poor Puddy-tat - again! Our best wishes come to you Puddy and Medusa. What a difficult time you are having this year. Stay positive!

Well, I just administered the juice a few min. ago and Puddy was really good. She seems to have improved already. I'll do the every other day thing and if she doesn't improve significantly, off to Dr. Lee we go! But I think I caught it in time. I'll keep ya posted.

Blessings,
Mary

This sounds encouraging after all: When Puddy still loved the roastbeef and the chicken that showed already that she is not really bad.

We all know it's only about stretching the time but I hope that it will be a looong stretch. (Some weeks ago we tried whether Filou would do with subq's every two weeks but it was not ok- so it's back to weekly.)

Filou sends headbumpies to Puddy
