I went back to the vet to get the potassium added to momma’s fluids on Thursday night. While I waited this very handsome gentlemen walked in with a large dog wearing a flower collar. He was wearing shorts and of course I looked, he has the most perfect ass and he even had to bend over. I thought I was going to lose my mind. I wanted to grab and touch it so bad. As I continued to observe him I noticed a ring on his finger and that was all she wrote for me. Oddly enough he had a beard and I don’t usually find that attractive but everything about this guy just worked for me. Ah summer and the guys!
Anyway back on topic the fluids were added I was told I couldn’t give these fluids to any of my other cats. Then they charged me $28 for adding the chemical. Wow would have been cheaper to buy bananas and puree them. Ah well spare no expense for my girl.
Thursday was a good day for her and so was Friday and again today. I gave her fluids tonight and like a dumb ass I tried to do it in a dimly light room which didn’t work well. I went to flip on the lights and she lunged off the counter with the needle flying out of her. I grabbed her and we started over again. I used the minimum amount and her body has gobbled that up rather quickly. I should hook her back up and give a bit more but she is not a fan of getting a needle stick and I am not a fan of needles in the first place. So were making due. If things start to go south I will certainly give her more.
She is mostly back to normal. The wobbly leg thing has gone away and she walks normal. She is jumping and talking which is good. As I write this she is by my side here in the basement.
Taking a step back I really feel that her body is trying to die on me. Her personality is alive and well. She is a fighter but I know that this is a fight that she won’t win at least as I see it now. That is really sad to me but I am making the most of the time we have together. I am doing my part in trying to keep her going and comfortable but I know in the end as much as I don’t want to I will need to let go. Were not quite to that point yet but I’ll know and she will know when were there. A big factor in all of this will be how she does and what her blood work looks like in a few weeks.
For now were stable and holding our own. Back to eating and picky as ever. Drinking she just can’t get enough water. Funny thing is neither can I. What ever this crud is in my body it’s hanging on. I don’t think I have in infection but they are cold/allergy like symptoms. Night time is the worst. I am starting to think it’s a side effect from the new diabetes medicine. I am continuing to monitor and plan to mention this when I meet with the doc next month.
Thanks for taking time to read this and for your thoughts & prayers. Momma and I really appreciate it. Her birthday will be next week and then she will officially be a teenager at 16 but in cat years she is far older. She is still bossing me around and that is a very good sign. Plus I kind of like it. I mean someone has to be in charge of me.
