Lucy had her follow up today and is completely better128049 and she gained another pound and is up to 5 pounds so one more pound to go. I was so relieved,especially after the vet told me she hadn't really thought Lucy would make it so my kitty has really come a long way.128512128512
Lucy is doing so much better128512. She's not sleeping as much and is playing with toys. She even got into trouble this morning128049. She still let's out an occasional sneeze but no longer sounds congested. Vet appt on Tue so hopefully she'll get an all clear.
Shadow (who has passed): big boy, fuzzy nuts. Also he had a song (sung to the Oscar Meyer bologna tune) that went: oh my k-i-t-t-y has a first name it's s-h-a-d-o-w, my k-i-t-t-y has a second name,it's - - - - ,oh how I luv to pet my k-i-t-t-y everyday, and if you ask me why I'll say, because my...
Thank you nurseangel 128512. I called vet hospital to check on her a few minutes ago but they were busy & will call me back. I'm taking the no news is good news route.
It was a huge relief! And I don't know who had a bigger smile over the weight gain - me or the vet! Question: is this something she can reget from her germs when she comes home? She sneezed everywhere. I already washed everything I could that she laid on and went and bought Lysol to spray...
Update on Lucy. She's been sneezing and congested for a week so wasn't surprised when vet told me today she has a upper respiratory infection, but she also has pneumonia. So tonight Lucy is in the hospital128549. But the good news is that she had gained a pound and last night she batted at...
Thx Margo 128512. When I realized she was so sick I was just worried sick and really had no one to talk to about it. I am disabled and pretty much stuck at home most of the time. My family and friends have dogs and that's all their pets are : just dogs. They really don't get the furbaby concept...
I found this wonderful site when I adopted a shelter kitty who is having some big problems. She is only the 2nd cat I've ever had and my 1st cat was healthy his entire life. I wanna give a big heartfelt thank you to all who have given me advice and encouraging words. Here is Lucy Lou
Thx molly & Columbine , I did add tap water I just wasn't sure about refrigeration the leftover, I did just to be on safe side but was wondering. She sure did like it! 128512
My shelter kitty was dehydrated and I saw advice for tuna water on here and asked vet about it, she said go ahead. Do I need to refrigerate any undrunken portions?
She said while she wasn't ruling out fip it was lower down on her list because Lucy didn't have a distended stomach and there wasn't a yellowish fluid. I said wasn't there 2 kinds of fip? Wet and dry? And she nodded but didn't add anything else. So I dunno guess I'll just have to wait until...
Thx cat woman you really put my mind and heart at ease if I do have to make that decision. The vet has seen cases of flip before. I wish I had a copy to post as well, I explained to them that I had a traumatic brain injury that sometimes plays havoc with my memory especially if it's something...
Took Lucy to vet today.good news was she is now only mildly dehydrated and slight fever as opposed to Tuesday's extremely dehydrated and high fever. But she is still losing weight. She has now lost over a pound,in spite of my keeping her crunchy food bowl full at all times and giving her cans of...
