Wooo Hooo!! Before I left for work this morning, I gave him his meds
(Interferon
1cc into the mouth, and the capsules-one with doxy and cypro, one with lasix
and
1/2 pred, I fill the extra space in those capsules with powdered Lysine, and
one
cap with Rutin, so his am is 3 capsules and in the pm he gets one more with
iron). Washed it down with unflavored Pedialyte and then 3 syringes (I use the
3cc) of watered down AD food from the vet. I left instructions for Glenn and my
son Corey to try to give him some food and Pedialyte throughout the day. When I
got home tonight he came wobbling out into the kitchen to greet me!! I
am ecstatic at this point. I gave him his meds and fixed some food, some fancy
feast and another dish of AD. I put him up on the counter (I have to feed above
Aussie height!) in the spare bathroom and he worked on the fancy feast for
awhile. He came into the kitchen for some kitty treats, then laid down for
quite
awhile. When he woke up, I carried him into the bathroom where the litter box
was (we took the cover off of it) and he went in by himself!! He is still real
wobbly and spends most of the time lying down, but he is more alert and wanting
to spend time near us, not in the dark spare room. A little while ago I felt
something brush my legs, I looked down expecting Rosie but it was Murphy!! He
laid down quickly and I sat on the floor petting him and talking to him. He'll
get another 21 units of Procrit tomorrow night. Man, all of your purrayers are
working!! Hopefully he is going to keep improving, good thing they have 9
lives.
Another funny thing-last night when I walked past Rosie, she reached out and
smacked my leg. I turned around and walked past her to see what she was trying
to do and she smacked me again!! I think she is feeling neglected!! I haven't
spent much time with her since Monday with all the worrying about Murphy. So
tonight I have been playing with her-she likes to race ahead of you and do a
forward roll, flop over on her back and have you rub her tummy! Thanks for all
of your purrayers and kind thoughts. This is a battle not easily won and these
little victories are sadly temporary for the most part, but I am grateful for
every day. I just want the last 2 kitties to be with us longer, it hurts so
much. Your friends, Alice, Glenn and the kids Rosie n Murphy
