URGENT Advice please

Thank you

Will post after my afternoon visit, or when I've spoken to the Vet again later.

If the worst is to happen then I'd like the nurses to have the opportunity to say their goodbyes. It doesn't seem fair that they will come on to their shifts and find an empty space. They'll be upset, too.

Oh Squiffy. What a day. Thinking of you and a difficult situation.

Thinking of you and Fluff, all the best and whatever happens you have done everything possible so there should never be any regrets.

Squiffy Thinking of you today and hoping like mad that you get good news. xx

Thanks both of you.

Yes, tomorrow is when we have to decide what to do.

She progresses just enough to make us hope, but even the Vet is very torn as to whether to continue, she's got fond of her too!

Ah well, we shall have to wait and see.

Please don't be too despondent, Squiffy. Poor little Fluff's whole body has taken such a pounding from the infection, the surgeries and the powerful drugs she's been on for nearly 2 weeks. She must be mentally and physiologically exhausted.
Love and purrs to her and (((hugs))) to you.

hopefully its just because she has been doing a little more each day..
Its tomorrow that the vet is going to assess how she is going, isn't it?

Fluff not very responsive today, she seemed very tired.

Well, she sniffed the Dreamie and licked it, but that’s as far as she got while I was there. Same with some chopped chicken.

I had a couple of miaows, proper less croaky ones!

Onwards and slightly upwards!

Excellent news about Fluff and the dreamies. A good sign that she is wanting to eat. Hope that you get to see this miracle for yourself too as you could certainly do with seeing something that sounds so positive.
Another daily dose of Hugs to you both ???.

Hi Squiffy Sooo pleased to hear about the Dreamies. That's progress indeed. Hope your visit this afternoon goes well and that you soon have an idea of when you can bring her home. You must be longing for that day! xx

Dreamies are a great bribe in our house So glad to hear she's being tempted by them - I hope she is starting to recover faster now she's on a different AB. Good luck for this afternoon - hope she shows you how well she's doing !!

Thank you all for your messages

Hilda I agree with you about Dreamies etc, but it's the lesser of two evils at the moment!

Milly Yes, that's what the Vet thought from the outset, but we've no idea what it may have been.

The Nurse rang just now and Fluff has eaten 6 Dreamies all by herself!! Now, that is progress indeed!

I'm visiting again this afternoon, so I may be able to witness this miraculous happening!

Please keep posting about your dear puss, I have read your post every day and have been so concerned. I know how very much our pets mean to us (have two dogs). Do hope she continues to improve. I wonder if she injested some type of toxin. Will be looking for some updates.

I always think that Dreamies must be like heroin to cats! Even our old boy goes nuts if he so much as hears me open the packet.

Good news Squiffy - although its not a treat I'd use normally as its a bit commercial....but its a bit like giving a poorly child a few dolly mixtures when they've been sick for days, you are just so glad they want it and keep it down!

Well, apparently Fluffy ate a Dreamie from the nurse’s fingers tonight. It’s a good sign, but she shouldn’t be eating them as they contain things that she’s allergic to - I’ll have to check up on that! Still a good sign though that she ate it.

Have a good time away waterloo

Oh yes Jane - good idea - Dreamies that should do the trick! Squiffy, please tell Fluffy I shall be away until the end of August but I will continue sending her positive get well vibes. I hope she will be back home with you very, very soon where she belongs. Lots of love to you both xxx

Time to try the ultimate treat for cats - Dreamies!!?

cookie I haven't posted my cat's name as it's fairly unusual and I don't want to be 'outed'!

Perhaps we could call her Fluff?

Not much response from her this afternoon, but she looked so relaxed and peaceful that I'll just have to make do with that for today!

Sparkle I love the idea of gauntlets! I can think of a few cats that I've come across in the past who would necessitate those

Maybe it was the taste of some food after so long that made your pusscat clamp down on the nurses finger thinking there was more to come ?
Squiffy, can you tell us your beloved pusscats' name as it would be lovely to put a name to her.
I continue to send you both lots of hugs ???.

Hi Squiffy, the time must be dragging so much for you with having to wait until Friday. I smiled about the vet's finger being bitten. When I was visiting my boy in the vet's hospital every day, I watched a nurse putting on enormous padded gauntlets that went right up to her shoulders. I then heard her getting a cat out of one of the cages which was spitting and growling and clearly the nurses needed armour to deal with him. I guess bites and scratches go with the job. I do hope your lovely girl is still making progress. x

Great to know she's still making progress, albeit slowly. A tummy tickle and an ear rub from me.

Thanks phoenix!

Lovely to hear that she is making progress so far, sending every good wish for more!
