Zoe continues to do well - she has been without insulin for 16.5 months. She has had a few other health issues that we are dealing with. Zoe was diagnosed with Feline Asthma about 9 months ago, she is treated with inhaled Flovent - I never would have believed that my fractious little girl would actually allow us to puff her....well, she does, twice a day! Currently we are testing her for Hyper-Thyroid....we went to the vet in March for a check-up, blood was drawn and her T4 came back in the "gray zone" and her Free T4 was high normal - today we went back for a re-check and will have the results in a couple of days - then I have to make the decision on how to treat her. ::sigh:: She had 3 teeth extracted in November. Her BG last weekend was a 78 (I think!) - over all she is a happy, playful & purry girl .....the P's are all present and accounted for! We just celebrated the 7th anniversary of her adoption on 4/24! cat_pet_icon
Here is a little background on Zoe.....
Zoe is a very special kitty....she was given to me, by my brother, a year after my other kitty had died. He said, he was tired of me missing a cat (actually I think he was tired of me coming to his house and playing with his cats!). So one Saturday, he went to a shelter, found Zoe (she wouldn't leave him alone, she kept following him and hitting his leg), adopted her and brought her to me. I have had cats all of my life, but none have ever been MY cat....where I am their number one person....until Zoe. She had been in the shelter for over a year and was terribly afraid of being out in the house.....we (I am disabled and live with my mom & dad) were patient and worked with her. She came out of her shell, SLOWLY....but she bonded with me, it is like she knew, she was meant for me. I spend a lot of time at home alone and she is an amazing companion. About a month after she came to live with us, I had to have surgery....when I came home....mom had put her in the laundry room, so we didn't have to worry about her running out the door when they brought me home from the hospital....when they let her out of the laundry room, she came running out, started for her favorite window to look out, saw me sitting in a chair....skidded to a stop, ran to me, leaped to the arm of the chair and sat there, rubbing her head on mine and licking my face. She is truly mine. Zoe will sit on my lap and sleep with me.....no one else. So as you can see, she is not only beautiful, but really special, too!
Happy Mother's day - to all!
