Well, it sounds like Tuxie is doing a bit better. We'll keep him in our thoughts and prayers. Dixie, Mud and Momma

TUXEDO GAINED ONE POUND IN SIX DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He now weighs 8 pounds, 14 ounces! And even MORE amazing than that - his hematocrit zoomed all the way up to 27!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He was feeling perky enough this afternoon that he hid from us when it came time to go to the vet. I'm always amazed at how much cats know - he came out meowing for food as we came to get him - but he took one look at me and bolted. We searched the house for about 15 minutes before we found him - in a new hiding place that I can't imagine how he squeezed under there (under the cedar chest in the living room).

GO TUXEDO GO! And once again - THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for all your good thoughts, positive vibes and prayers.

I really can't believe it - Tuxie continues to do just great! His hematocrit was down from 27 to 24 - but that's still such a great number for him. AND - he gained more weight! He's up to 9 pounds 5 ounces!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GO TUXIE GO!!!!!!!!!!!

AWWW! I feel for you! I would be devasted if something like that happened to my Kenny! We should cherish the time we have with our loved ones before we lose them.
I know how it feels my dog died recently. I pray for a miracle to happen, please keep us posted. Tons of love and prayers sent your way!

Tuxedo's BACK, baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He's resumed his position as alpha cat - he requires lots of play or the other cats just get no relief (and in the end, no, a house did not solve the problem, lol! Apparently the issue wasn't ever the space - just his personality).

His hematocrit is - ready for this? 32!!

The blood work from about two weeks ago is back (was back, but this is the first time he's been to the vet since then) - and it is ALL NORMAL. His platelets are up, his white blood cell count is up. Doc said - I don't know what happened, but he got his miracle! He added - if we brought Tuxie in today as a new patient, and they did his bloodwork and ran all the normal tests, they would have no idea there was anything wrong - no idea anything had been wrong. His last hematocrit before the anemia struck was 33 - so basically he's back in his own range of normal!

Oh- and he's up to 10 pounds 1 ounce!!!!!!!!!! He's round, his "ruff" is large and fluffy - and what is there to say but he is PINK. His nose is pink, his gums are pink, his pads are pink - and his energy is up in the red zone, lol!

WAY TO GO TUXEDO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR ALL YOUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS!!!!!!!!!
