Visited Jade today she looks so much better, she was walking around her cage and meowed when she saw me.

The vet said she is eating and drinking fine and the drip is out now. They say I may be able to bring her home tomorrow.

I brought her home today with a new diet and instructions she shouldn't go out..

Hmm Jade escaped within the first hour.. aggghhhhh.

However she seems content enough and when she comes back, which I know she will, i will lock her up for a few days.

Unfortunately it is sooo hot here that I have to keep the doors open all day and night so she is going to have to go in the spare bedroom.

The vet suggested the cattery but I am full of paying guests at the moment and fully booked for the next two weeks so that is not an option.

I am so happy to have her home.. best go and get her in now.

Jade is home


Trouble is she is now leaking urine where ever she goes
I am hoping this improves but the smell is awfull I have had to put her in the bathroom.

The vet seems to think it will improve as the medication takes effect I really hope so.

I am sure that sweet Jade is glad to be home and pray that the leakage clears up quickly.

She is still leaking unfortunately but I have now moved her into one of my cat pens where she can lie in the sun and be more comfortable than in my bathroom.

She still chirrups at me and rubs around my ankles, she gets lots of love and affection she is such a lovely cat I am praying she gets better enough to come back into the house soon.

you and Jade have my best wishes, I hope that she improves so that she can stay in other rooms, but as long as she is happy and chirruping it is a good sign.

If the leaking continues, I have heard they make pet diapers (I know I've seen them for dogs). That may be an option so she can come back inside sooner.

Would those also be known as "stud pants" for spraying males?

or maybe the little sanitary napkins they make for female dogs in heat? dogs come pretty small, so you should be able to find some small enough for Jade.

She has had dry skirts for 2 days now


Yesterday there was a good amount of pee in her tray and her bed was not wet.

I think a few more days and she could come in.

It is very hard to get things here although I have seen doggy pants in the vets but not much in the way of selection.

If i want anything I usually buy of the internet or get friends to bring it over from the UK.

For the first time since I got here 2 years ago I managed to get some catnip spray yesterday.

Oh I was just reading about Jade. Sounds like such a love. Our family cat ChiChi has been living with CRF (kidney failure) for TWO years now! Once you get them stabilized at the vet (IV drip etc) you can take care of them at home. Do you give Sub Q fluids? ChiChi gets subq fluids every other day and we also give her Transfer Factor. I highly recommend TF for older or sick cats. It is an immune system booster and works miracles.
