Yay! Good news about Murphy! Hope the improvement continues. All your
ministrations certainly help, but I really see the love you have for these
little guys...and that is the most powerful medicine!
Enjoy your time!

Subject: [Felvtalk] Murphy is improving!! Beginning to eat on his own!!!
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
