She's not quite as perky today but still ok-ish

Found out last night that my vet is leaving at the end of next week.....i am totally gutted.
He has been with us every step of the way, can't believe we will have to finish this journey without him  :(
I can still be in contact via text and internet but it wont be the same as he wont be practicing

:hug: aww he sounds a good vet, hope that the steroid will help, like you say you've nothing to lose.  Glad Issey's had a nice day in the garden and I hope she enjoys a little mushy tuna  :hug:

He is the best Jane


I just sent him a message with my theory that maybe she has an infection due to the chemo making her white blood cells low and maybe an antibiotic injection would help......love him he replied saying we could try anything
So collecting one tomorrow

 :) that's great and I'm so pleased she has enjoyed her food, made my day  :hug:

Wow! That is amazing Michelle, sounds like your initial thought to the reaction of the chemo/white cells etc was correct!  :wow:

Sleep well tonight Michelle, Im sending you both vibes to continue with much of the same that is happening now!  ;) :Luv: :hug: :hug:

 :) Great news Michelle - it is amazing how they can pull back from the brink. Clapton has done it to me several times. Over 2 years ago I thought he was a goner but at the moment, he has no sores and is looking better than ever  :) (even though he hates me and thinks I am out to get him  :Crazy: )

Well listen to this one .....

This morning she actually asked for some food so i put down some of the crappy tuna which she eat.

I then had to go and drop hubby at work  and collect her antibiotic injection....
When i got back she asked again for some food so i put out some more crappy tuna which she eat and then she went to the bowl that had felix wet food in it and started eating  :wow:

Anyway, I gave her the AB injection and had to take my grandad to the Drs....while i was out i decided to buy some purina one kitten dry food just to try and see if she would eat it, gave her some when i got back and she eat it  :Crazy:

this evening she has eaten alittle felix again and some more dry food

to say i am over the moon doesnt even touch it......

She is still very weak and deff not out of the woods i know that but can you imagine how pleased i am that i didnt pts on monday ?!

I am going to go to bed tonight, i am shattered, drained and need some sleep and i'm pretty sure she will be ok.

I really think although vets have the medical knowledge, some of us are tuned in with our cats. I think you could well be right  :)

I think it is the same reason I had a gut-feeling about Clapton ans wasn't stressing all week as I was confident he would get the all-clear (not that I would rely on gut instinct over vet care).

Glad she is still here and still happy with all the TLC she is getting from you Michelle  :hug:

Thanks Jane and Bazsmum  :hug:

Been to see the vet today (Me not Issey) and asked if a steroid injection would kick start her eating again.
Bless his heart my vet didnt think so but said you never know so did give me one to bring home and give her (we got nothing to lose)

Issey has enjoyed a lovely day in the garden... :Luv2:

I have just bought the cheapest crapest tuna in the world, its happy shopper tuna flakes and its literally just mush.....She liked it last week so fingers crossed

I actually dont know how she is still here,
she hasnt eaten since Sunday....although she is drinking water, she is very weak when she walks to the litter tray....She just lays on the floor BUT she purrs when i stroke her


That is how Schui was Michelle, you will know when  :hug: :hug:

How long was Schui like that for Jane ?

Issey continues to amaze Me -
One minute she is laying on the floor, eyes starring and then last night she suddenly gets up and climbs the STAIRS  :Luv2:

She has gone out in garden again today...its a lovely day and she is laying under the bushes

He was like it on and off for ages and wobbly on his legs but I would say with the not eating about a week.  We were so unsure for a while and waiting for the steroids to kick in again but they didn't but he seemed content and went out in the garden the day or two before but there was a point when he just lay there and other stuff happened and I knew.  I think you're doing great Michelle just taking it a day at a time  :hug:  :hug:

Michelle,

When my Mums little one went to the bridge in May she was very poorly and had been for quite a while ..... my Mum said that on the day she passed over Mum knew it was getting close, she spent the night sleeing with Chloe, brushed her with her favourite brush (this was one of Chloes favourite things) and told her it was OK to go whenever she wanted to.  Apparently Chloe looked at Mum, gave a little meow and closed her eyes.  She went to sleep and passed over while Mum and Dad were sat with her.

I'm sure when Issey is ready you will know most definitely.  You know your little girl and you will be able to tell by looking at her.

Take care ... you are both in my thoughts and prayers.  :hug:

 :Luv2:

Sam thank you so much for that  :hug:

You know i am so glad i didnt pts on Monday....I had hubby having ago at Me saying i was being cruel keeping her and just get it over and done with but thank goodness I rang my mum to take us to the vets .....she took one look at her and said she isnt ready....then my vet agreed with my mum when we got there.

I have had "the chat" with Issey.....I have told her its ok to go and a couple of times i really have thought she was going.

I actually dont know how she is still here,
she hasnt eaten since Sunday....although she is drinking water, she is very weak when she walks to the litter tray....She just lays on the floor BUT she purrs when i stroke her.


Thanks again to everyone on purrs....you have all been amazing xx

She is alseep under the table.....

But she purrs when I stoke her and lifts her head when I speak to her.....she is breathing ok, no flicking of tail so while she is like this and peaceful I will let her be.

We have had the chat about "its ok to go"......and I have spoken to my vet who is happy for Me to continue like this at the moment
