I have never asked anyone to pray for me or mine before but now I am asking. My Sweet, Little, Cat, "Tigre'" has fallen seriously ill. She is being hospitalized on IV and meds. She has chronic renal failure. She is very very sick. She was only 7 lbs. this morning when I brought her to the Vet. Normally she is about 12-13 lbs. Her kidneys are in terrible shape. The Doctors said we will re-evaluate her condition tomorrow. I pray she makes it through the night and improves. I am just not ready for another death and another broken heart. No, I really am not ready for it. I can't stop crying. Please pray that she survives and lives another year longer at least. She was my "first" baby - I got her when she fit into the palm of my hand. Her Birthdate is 7/22/91. Her brother Yoda misses her tonight. Thank you. IP: Logged |

Dear Everyone ~ Thank you so much. The Vet wanted to keep Tigre' overnight again tonight and tomorrow day. She is still very, very sick. He said her kidneys are still in very bad shape. The bill so far, is very outrageous. I told the Vet that it is already way, way too expensive, and he said I could take her home and administer her IV and meds at home, although he recommended she stay there. I also think it will be quieter here at home and she might feel more comfortable; the technician told me they walk past her cage all day long, and there are dogs near her barking. So, if she is not meant to survive, at least I am trying and I can slowly come to terms with letting her go (*IF* that happens), opposed to her sudden death which I was just not ready for. The Vet said it is really uncertain how she'll turn out. Yoda immediately went to cuddle with her and she growled at him, like, "don't bother me!" But he has been cuddling/sitting next to her since she came home. Hope acted too crazy and mental so I put up the baby gate. Chandra, that is so cool that you had a cat named Tigre'! The cat that used to live here, was named Tigre' too! Isn't that amazing! Thanks again to everyone - I am really stressed about having to try, try, try to feed her, give meds, IV, etc. and take care of the other pets as well; even Yoda is still on his vomiting medication. Luckily I come from a medical family; my mother is a RN so she can come over and help. Thanks again........ IP: Logged |

Nephy...a few years ago I found my cat Lucky outside literally screaming in pain. It was late at night...so I couldn't take him till the morning. I just knew he wouldn't make it through the night.I got up early the next morning only to hear a kitten mewing outside on the porch. A pitiful little thing with her collar on and that too tight. So I brought her in...with the idea to find where she belonged after I took Lucky to the vet. She immediately jumped up on the bed with my husband and went to sleep. She turned out to be my Tiger. I took Lucky to the vet. He had a severe kidney/bladder shut down. The vet said it wasn't looking good, but he would do what he could. He stayed at the vets for two weeks. I even brought him a pillow that he slept on (from my bed) so he would feel safer. At that time, my vet said I could pay the bill monthly as it was enormous. Well, today he was all over the furniture in the living room. I rearranged it yesterday, and he still is exploring. The main dietary change was to cut way back on tuna...seems it is not good for a neutered cat with kidney/bladder problems. So far he has not had any reoccurances. Sadly, I had to chunk the pillow as they had washed it with some horrible disinfecting stuff. He missed his pillow. But he too was at death's door, but is in super shape now. So don't give up...cats have remarkable powers of healing... ------------------

YIVY~ Nephy~ About six months ago my husband's adorable dog was near death too. He's very old and after the vet's multi-hundred dollor testing didn't come up with anything wrong with him it was the consensus he was just old, and ready to *go* -- oh, and he is apparently going blind as well. Well, I can't tell you how sad, heartbreaking and stressful it was for me to watch him day after day after day trying sooooo hard to just get up out of his little bed to potty or eat or to go to visit his humans, falling down every step (so we carried him alot ) Anyway... One morning I went out to check on him and as I walked over to his bed he looked lifeless, my heart clenched, and I started to cry; I thought sure he had died. When I discovered that he was still breathing I went and picked him up and hugged him to me ... and prayed. I prayed to ANUBIS that if Andre didn't have to die, to please heal him quickly to end his suffering, and that if he really had to go, to take him that quickly too, to end his suffering. Then I spoke to Andre, still cuddling him. I told him how much we loved him and how glad I was it was our yard he wandered into that day many years ago (even if I did try to shoo him away for two days), but that if he was ready to go I understood, and that our parting would only be temporary Andre is still old and slower than the younger dogs, and bumps into stuff all the time cuz he can't see well, but he still jumps and wiggles and greets us at the door for his *lovin*, then waits patiently (unlike Ms. Madonna) for his treat. When I see this, I can't help but grin, and thank ANUBIS one more time YIVY is so right, Nephy, MIRACLES do happen So hang in there, sweetness and give Tigre a hug from me too ~Princess ------------------ ~We can try many ways to get rid of the darkness, but none is as effective as simply increasing the light.~ UnkNown IP: Logged |

My Mom's dog was on death's door (liver dis-ease), and the vet said there was no chance she would Live. We took her home (complete with IV needle in her paw, so the vet could put her sleep easier, which I STRONGLY disagreed with). It pained me to see her hobble around with a needle in her paw 24 hours a day. Our Love brought her back, and now she is healthier than ever. NEVER underestimate the power of Love. ------------------ "It is never too late to become what you might have been." George Eliot IP: Logged |

Wow, all of your stories made me cry too. I love hearing your stories though. You people here are the only ones who Know that through Love and Positive Thoughts anything is possible. People at my work are kind about it, but negative. Yivy, I can't imagine a 2 week hospitalization bill, considering my 2 days at the Vet was almost in the 4 digits. To be honest, I feel in my Soul that she is on her way out. She is so weak, looks terrible. 2 of her meds. pills make her vomit. So I decided not even to give her those. She can't/won't eat anyways. I gave her 2 IV treatments today. Poor little sweet girl. Sometimes I can be strong and sometimes I just cry. It just sucks! Especially for a Sensitive Taurus like me. Thanks again everyone. You are so nice. IP: Logged |

One more comment ~ Randall, actually I wish Tigre' did come home with a Heparin Lock (needle in paw). It would be so much easier to give her the IV. A Heparin Lock doesn't hurt. I've even had a double one in myself! Yes, siree. She is probably so bruised and sore from sticking the needle through her. It pulled out a couple times so had to re-stick her. Anyhow, thanks again. I just hope she passes away on a weekend. How in the heck will I go to work, crying my head off? IP: Logged |

Fifteen years ago, I had a 2-year old kitty who was pregnant, that was kicked by a drunk. He must've kicked her repeatedly or with steel toed boats or something. She was beaten badly and barely alive. She miscarried with her kittens, her hips were crushed and she had internal organ damage. The vet recommended she be put to sleep. He said there was no saving her and she would die. I didn't know much about intuition at the time, but I kept having a strong feeling to take her home and nurse her back to health, with a lot of love. I bought a bunch of vitamins and he gave her some medication. She was very weak. Joshua was a brand new baby and I would lay on the couch or bed holding both of them on my chest. She needed my help to eat, drink and move her to her litter box to use the bathroom. She slowly healed and became healthy again. She never went outside without me after that. She died last year at the age of 17. I hope you have the same fortune I did. ------------------ Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it. --Rumi IP: Logged |

Neph,Call around to different vets and see if any of them will take care of Tigre for a sliding scale fee. My grandma's kitty swallowed one of her sewing needles one time, and she had to have surgery to have it removed. My grandma couldn't afford it and she found a vet who practiced for fees on a sliding scale. When he found out she lived on her own on social security, he didn't charge her anything. ------------------ Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it. --Rumi IP: Logged |

Nephy..I found this in Diane Stein's book on Natural Healing for Cats and Dogs.Feline Urologic Syndrome (FUS) is a leading cause of dis-ease and often death in cats. It can almost always be preented by feeding a preservative free natural diet and vitamin-mineral supplement, along with vitamin C. Anitra Frazier suggests at the first gn of urinary infection to withold solid food and give 500 mg vitamin C in a tespoon of chicken broth, plus 100 IU vitamin E. During an attack, along with veterinary care, use a B-complex 10 mg twice a day, 100 IU vitamin E daily for a month (then decrease to 400 IU once a week), and 1/4 tsp. cod liver oil or 10,000 IU vitamin A with 400 IU vitamin D. After attacks, continue vitamin C (500 mg per day divided into two meals), and vitamins E,A and D weekly. Her information on diet, supplements, care and medication is highly recommended. In her Herbal chapter she writes... Dr. Richard Pitcairn recommends horsetail grass for cats with chronic FUS. Steep two teaspoons of the herb in half a cup of hot water, and give a quarter of a teaspoon of the infusion three times a day for a week or more. Urtica urens (stinging nettles) is another recommended herb for cats. I guess you would do the same with the stinging nettles as with the horsetail (they didn't say)... Anyway maybe you can find something here to help. ------------------

Dear Yivy ~ Thanks for your efforts. Unfortuneately, she cannot take anything in her stomach. Both her pills and even her anti-vomit meds. make her vomit. She won't eat or drink. She is just living off of the IV. This is no way for a cat to live. She is just skin and bones. Dear Everyone ~ Thanks so much for your generous Light and Love - but I'm slowly coming to terms with what needs to be done I was crying so much at work, couldn't stop so they sent me home for today and tomorrow. My mother is off tomorrow so I won't have to go it alone. Thanks again. I can't stop crying! This just really sucks. IP: Logged |

Nephy...it is a hard decision. One I had to make with two of my cats. So I understand Tiger is a part of you now, so you are not ever parted. Trust in this. ------------------
