You go, AZ!! Lotsa prayers for you, sweet one -- let's get this licked!Originally Posted by MuttigreeMom
I almost forgot.. one more story.
It seems that since Az can't see or smell (stuffed nose), he kind of senses when the other cats are there, but he can't tell who's who unless he gets *really* close and buries his nose in their fur.
Apparently this has caused a little uproar among the cats. Johnny thinks it's the best thing in the world and responds by licking Az to death. Jack is still a little unsure about it, but deals because he's Az's buddy.
However, my mom's cat Gemini is so not liking this AT ALL. (Not surprising - Gemini doesn't really like anyone or anything except my mom) Supposedly, Gemini's stormed off in a huff more than once after he's done this while Az just sat there going "Whudid I do?"
Even sickly, he's still too adorable for words
HOW IS he today? We have not heard from you since Wednesday!Originally Posted by MuttigreeMom
So sorry for not updating, but I just didn't have any info to pass on. Was waiting for a call from my mom and I finally got it.
Here's the scoop.
The pneumonia is getting better, the fever is not. They vets are starting to think he might be having a full body inflamation due to everything he's been through. He wasn't eating, very lethargic. Stayed at the vet's overnight for observation.
They gave him a shot of cortizone and that perked him right up. Started eating - but only after mom put some food on his tongue as he still can't see/smell food (nose is still a bit blocked and sniffly). Mom said the cortizone helped his movements as well... he ended up keeping her up all night hopping on and off the bed.
Ok, so they have him on pregnizone pills to help him eat, move and work on the fever. Right now, everyone's just kind of watching every move he makes so we can catch anything happening at the first sign.
But he's moving around and eating. That's a bonus! Still can't see. Doc said his eyes are responding to light but what he's "seeing" isn't yet being sent to his brain. There's still hope on that front. And I hear they're sending his blood work over to the U of Tenn (I think?) to double check and make sure there isn't anything they've missed.
Ok, I think I got everything.
I can't thank you all enough for your prayers. It's been a trying time, but they definately seem to be working!
