Thursday Afternoon Update

THURSDAY AFTERNOON UPDATE:  Hi furriends and thank you fur the continued well wishes.  Princess ate more chicken this morning after meeting me for her morning meal.(hand-fed of course)  Yay!  Her progress is just so slow. But, at least it's progress.  Now, Prancer Pie.  He's still hiding out and puking a couple of times a day. Nothing to puke though. He's drinking and taking meds.  If he's not better tomorrow he sees Vet. We'll get throught this and be smarter on the other side for sure.  To all our furriends out there - XOXOXOXOXO

Thankful Thursday

WOMAN!  I'm bringin the lasers online!

Hi furriends, Precious here.  I thought ya'll might could use a break from all the sickness and Mommy whining bout it.  Princeton and I are feelin very frisky and so far are healthy. We are VERY thankful fur that this Thursday.

Here's the updates:  Both Princess and Prancer are the same as earlier today.  Princess hopefully is on the road to recovery albeit slowly.  She did haf cod-awful diarrhea today. Prancer still has the pukes.  We are scheduled to see vet again Friday, giving meds a few more hours to work. We cannot tell you how much we appreciate your caring words. Thank you and purrs, ya'll.

Wednesday Afternoon Update

UPDATE:  Hi efurrybody. First, let me thank efurryone again fur those purrs. Princess has just eaten fur the first time in 36 hrs.  Now, the breath holding that the puking doesn't restart. (it was plain chicken, I boiled myself.)  This was the first thing she even wanted anything to do with.  She is drinking lots and using the litter box. (I'm over-zealous bout these things.) She is slowly returning to purring and pre-sickness habits, such as face-tapping, etc. (mine)

Now, Prancer Pie is still in the awful throes of this illness.  He wants nothing to do with anyone and hides, only to come out to puke and/or drink large amounts of water.  (which strangely neither one haf puked) They are both on Reglen and antiobiotics.  Princess is also on Prednisone.

Lab results, onset, and Prancer coming down sick, really points to one of two things:  virus/bug OR food contamination.  Vet is concerned about the latter.  Both of these furbabies are HUGE Fancy Feast fans.  No recalls we can find.  No Easter lilies or chocolate here. We're empty nesters and NO fresh plants or flowers are allowed in our home due to furbabies.  We haf gone ofur efurrything from cleaning fluids (which I am cautious about) to dish detergent.  Nothing has changed. I appreciate all the ideas efurryone throws at me.  We've nefur (in 17 years) had a multiple illness such as this. Thank you fur the purrs and purrayers and keep them coming, please. XOXO - The Mommy

Updates - Wednesday

My azalea bush.

Hello furriends.  I'm beyond despair tonight as I write this. My sweet little man, Prancer Pie, has fallen ill, too.  I cannot even fathom what is going on.  He had his breakfast, then went to nap.  He refuses to come out, except to drink.  Then, just like Princess, he drinks and drinks.  I have wracked my brain to find a common thread.  I would probably be suspicious of Princeton's illness last week, but he obviously had trauma (bite/sting) to his jaw.  Princess is still resting, showing sum signs that she might become interested in food, but has yet to eat since yesterday.  Again, I thank you for the purrs, pawsitive thoughts and purrayers.  Please keep them coming and any advice is welcome, too.  XOXO

PRINCESS UPDATE:  Vet called with lab results. Surprise! Princess has almost purrfect labs for her age. (a lady nefur tells)  Slightly elevated white count. The vet and I talked at length and with her history of a sensitive stomach, he thinks she could just haf sumthing that has put her stomach in severe turmoil.  Just got to keep her hydrated and he has now prescribed stomach calming meds along with the antibiotics.  She's still very sick, but is drinking well and resting.  I'm watching her efurry move. Thanks to efurrybody fur those purrs and purrayers! xoxo

Pee Ess - thanks fur the slippery elm bark info. we are definitely going to get sum.
