How very upsetting! Yet, I would think that since she is dealing with an infection in the chin, it is not too worrisome that she developed a new area. Certainly get her to the vet for a check-up. But I'm hoping they just need to change her antibiotic. Remember kitties rub their chins everywhere...so there are germs that can easily infect her while she is down. But she will heal from this!

They think his immune system has walled off the perforation and they are pumping him full of antibiotics to fight off the infection.........today was his third day in the hospital. He says he does feel better and naturally wants the heck out of there........but not even a doctor came in to see him today,

and with tomorrow being the 4th, I doubt tomorrow either.....

Needless to say, this is upsetting him.........and me.

Just awful! Yet remember, it is the nurses that do most of the care, and they can contact the MD if necessary. Certainly, the doc should have visited, but ask the nurses tomorrow if they can call and get him discharged, so he can be home with you. (It never hurts to ask!)-signed Becky the nurse!

P.S. I'm glad he is feeling a little better.

Something showed up and he wants to check me out again.....I had gone to him originally for an abormal pap two years ago. He supposedly froze the cells and said they're shouldn't be any more problems. I'm just sick about this, althought I"m trying to think postiive and not the worst........just seems everything is going wrong and I don't know what to worry about more.........

UGH! I've had abnormal paps, and the cells frozen, too. At the time I asked my doc what time frame we were looking at for the possibility of cancer. He said at least 10-15 years, and that was 12 years ago. I occasionally have another abnormal pap, and they have to repeat it. It always comes back normal! I hope the same is true for you. I have known several people who had the spit scared out of them by abnormal pap smears...really, the docs are just being overly cautious, and that is OK because it involves your health. But please don't worry over it now. I really think things will be fine. You are just under so much stress now with Petals and Jerry. This was enough to put anyone over the edge!

Get the soonest MD appt available, so they can reassure you!

Thanks for listening and let me cry on your shoulders.......

Aw, go ahead and have a little cry. Its always hard when your sweetie isn't home. You have been through a lot lately! Hugs to you! I do pray that most of this acute stress will be relieved within a week. That Petals will be on the mend, Jerry will be home recuperating, and you will have that good news from the gyne!

oh hunny hunny Susie!! How big do you want your hug?? (((HUG))))

I am so sorry you are weighed down with all of this. Indeed, it's quite a load.
We are thinking of you and wanting to do anything we can to make it better!
Last Fall I had my ovarian cancer scare/surgery, then the complications which ruptured my discs, and then Sasha died in 6 weeks. I felt like I wanted to go right along with him. I know I got through it by a lot of prayer and talking to the sky. I also got mad, too, I said, "whatever this is, it's picked the wrong woman!!" and that helped.

Just know that you are truly loved and admired and even more so for sharing.

Oh, Susie! I wish there was something more I could do than leave a note here! You have always been so sweet and thoughtful, this note just doesn't feel like enough!

I do hope that everything comes around to normal. That is a lot of weight to be carrying around, worrying.

You and yours are in my thoughts here. *BIG HUG*

Hey Kitters and I are sending way super big mega huge vibes for all of you!!!!

Major }}}VIBES{{{ heading your way from the Land of Manc, Susie!

What a time for you! Hopefully everything will be resolved and you'll all be back to full health in lightning quick time!

Thinking of you Susie and Jerry, TTP & B get well vibes to all of you who need them.

Hope everything gets better soon.

Susie i know it's hard but try and not think the worst on your pap tests, because people are called back for many reasons like this.

Sending all threaa of you ((((((healthy vibes)))))))

What can I say about all these wonderful posts...........??? You are all terrific and your support helps more than you know............

Sorry for your hard time. When it rains it pours, but I bet everything will be alright. I would demand a doc see Jerry, just for a once over. After all, he is there, they must have a doc on call. I know someone who has had those bad cells show up in the cervix every couple of years. They just get them frozen off like you did. Just keep getting checked. AS for kitty acne, once it reappeared after I switched to glass bowls and guess why? I found the cutest plastic pet placemate for their dishes, and apparently that is close enough to set off the reaction, because as soon as I tossed that and returned to a cloth matt, it disappeared.

Good luck to you and keep your acne free chin up.

Oh, Susie, I'm sorry you're having to deal with so much right now. Just know you've got the love and support of everybody here. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I'm very sorry that you are going all of this Susie...I'm sending my prayers to you and Jerry and of course your sweetiepie Petals

Oh, Susie...

You know we all wish we could be there to hold your hand and give you a hug (but then your house would be awfully crowded... ) Sending you lots of {{{{{{{good vibes}}}}}}} as thanks for the ones you sent when I was in the hospital.

Here's hoping all goes well and you and Jerry will be back to setting off your own personal fireworks!

I'm so sorry, Susie . Sometimes it just seems to shower down upon us at once ! On top of the health concerns, it must be stressful just not having Jerry home to help with little stuff around the house Jerry and Petals have come a long way and they are on the mend. Maybe things are taking a little longer than anticipated but they are getting there ! As far as your pap smear, I'm sending vibes that everything is negative on the next test!

Oh, you poor thing! I will keep you all in my thoughts.

Susie I you!

Sending you and your family lots of healthy vibes!!

This is for each and everyone of you.............

Right back at ya

For Petal's acne, have you tried using stridex pads? I've had some luck when my cats start having acne out of the blue.

Oh no Susie!! I just saw this thread, and I am so sorry that all this horrible stuff is happening to you and your family. I really pray that all three of you will be alright and I am sending tons of {{{{{{{everyone be alright}}}}}}} vibes.

Jana, I don't have any stridex pads, but I keep wondering if dabbing a bit of hydrogen peroxide on it would help. I'm definitely going to ask the vet tomorrow......
