Don't feel bad about the tail bandage. I doubt that even the best bandager can keep a tail bandage on. Tails are notoriously hard to bandage. They need suspenders or something. Glad that Ani is feeling better, but you will probably need to keep up the Reglan until she gets over what ever is causing the nausea. Becky

YAY!

Great news!

I bet this is one time you are thrilled to clean out the litter box after she uses it!

Just got up from sleepy time with Ani
. What a pleasure to have her with me
I tried to see if she wanted to eat, but I guess I will wail until tonight, give her the Reglan, and the try again.

Becky
.. Will I get any clues from Ani that she doesn't need the Reglan anymore, or should I just continue the entire bottle either way? What if I tried leaving her hard food out, she eats some, and does not vomit? Wouldn't that show that she is not as nauseus anymore?
As far as the antibiotics, she will continue that for about a week. There is not much in there, so it will probably be done in about 10 days. The same time frame goes for the Reglan.
I just know that it's dangerous to stop antibiotics until they're finished, but I wasn't sure if the same thing went for Reglan?

As for Skylar's tail, I did try an e-collar but it just seemed so cruel. I know that vets do it all the time to keep the kitty from hurting the itchies, but I will just let her take care of it tomorrow. So far, he's doing fine. Playful as ever

Oh thank you everyone.. we love you so much..

Okay, so Ani ate this morning with no vomiting at all. She has had her second dose of reglan and her antibiotic this evening. She hasn't eaten yet, but I am hoping she will get to it. Sometimes she eats in the middle of the night when no one is watching
, but I love to come down and see her food missing
Hoping for that to happen. However, I have given her some nutrical for an extra dose of nutrition. Also, she has taken all her meds for the day and there has been no vomiting at all. Today is the first day.


Thanks for checking in.. I will keep you all up to date on my baby's progress.

Tomorrow, I will be taking Skylar to his vet for his second set of shots
He doesn't know that yet


Good Night Everyone.. Sweet Dreams

Love to all of you and your little ones

Aw Lauren I've been online for tiny bits at a time this past weekend and I've always checked up on this thread... I'm glad to hear that Ani's doing better and I'm so sorry she scared you like she did! And have fun with Skylar and the V-E-T!

Ani threw up again last night, and will not eat or take her antibiotic today


She is having a set back, and it's just not looking good
. I will be making some calls today to different places to see who else I can talk to about her. I may be quite busy for a while, but I will do my best to let you guys know what happens..


I wish you all a wonderful and healthy holiday season...

Oh I am sorry to hear that. It is so hard to know what to do sometimes. I am thinking of you and Ani.

Well, I got Ani to take her antibiotic. She still will not eat
The last time she ate was yesterday morning. She held everything down all day. I really thought we we're doing well. When she vomited last night, my heart just fell to the floor.
I don't have much money left. I hate saying that, but it's the truth. I don't know what I am going to do for her. I just don't know
I would think she will need more tests. I know that all her blood is fine and there was nothing found in the x-rays. I am going to call the Animal hospital in NJ (Red Bank). They're an excellent hospital. That seems to be my only other option right now.

Keep us updated on how it goes, please! Don't lose faith, hopefully it's just a minor thing and she'll be back to normal in no time!

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for her. If she managed to keep her food down most of the day, she must have digested quite a bit of it, and therefore is getting some nutrition. Good luck!

Lauren, I'm very sorry to hear about the set back you and Ani are now having. I hope you can find out what is going on with her soon. I know how hard it must be for you right now. Try to think positive good thoughts. I hope Ani feels better soon.

Dear Everyone..

Ani has passed away
. I woke up this morning, and my baby has gone. I cannot get my thoughts together now, but I needed to change her thread to crossing the bridge and let you know what has happened.
The doctor said something about HCM, but my parents are getting all the details right now..

Dear
Ani
,

May you meet your brother at the Rainbow Bridge.. Mommy loves you with all my heart. You are a part of me and I will always be with you.. I could never have loved you more. You are my angel.
Love always, your mommy...
