Trixie is being a big help with running nice, safe numbers while I contend with the Petey issue.


There's not too much to report yet today. He does seem like he's improving. I've been up since around 4:15, just to hang out with him and observe (he's probably getting sick of seeing my face by now!). He's seeming much more comfortable and "perky"; this morning, I got some really good purrs that were almost up to his usual volume. When he got out of the bed he was sleeping in, he did a great downward dog stretch. He did eat a few kibbles on his own - that's what actually got him out of bed. It wasn't much, but it was the first interest he's shown in food since Friday, so I've got my fingers seriously crossed. We assist fed him a little baby food last night, and when hubby is up (probably around +2), I want to do a little more, just to see if that will kick his appetite into gear. He doesn't seem too nauseated now, although I'm sure the empty stomach is not feeling 100%. He's definitely not himself, but I'm seeing glimpses of him in there.

Once again, I have to work today, but I don't go in till 10:45. It's definitely hard to be away when someone is not feeling well, but at least Mark will be home.

I can't thank all of you enough for your support...it's such a huge help.

BTB for a bit...

Trixie is being a good girl with her numbers. I'm really glad that Petey is showing some sings of improvement!
Sending Petey lots of healing energy,

Thanks for the update on Petey. Sounds like he is definitely improving, especially with some interest in food. And good stretches, too. Of course, when Petey does a downward facing dog, it should be changed to downward facing kitty!

Good luck with the assist feeding. Hopefully, you won't need to do it for very much longer. Sending healing thoughts and prayers to Petey today. And Trixie is looking quite good this morning. A nice safe number for you to go to work without worrying.

sO SORRY for the BUG!!! Hope it is almost gone & Petey is getting all better..We feel so helpless when they are sick--Hope it is gone & all will be well-Nice amps for Trixie, Hugs from us!

Hi Amy, I was thinking of you and Petey earlier and so glad to see these little signs of eating and stretchng. It's all very encouraging. I hope he keeps improving and great on the kibble and bf. Have a nice day and healing vines to little Petey. I don't know if Petey is little, but I have a habit of using the word "little" as an affectionate term. I use it with my friends, too. :lol: I know, I'm weird!

Thankfully, Trixie is continuing to help us out...goin' nice-n-easy today.

Hubby got up and +2 and took care of pokies; I just got back up a little while ago. He said Petey came down and meowed for attention...something he hasn't done in days. So, once again, a little glimpse of the "real" PeteyPie (Ann: Petey is pipsqueak, tiny little main coone that barely tips the scales at 10lbs, but he's a BIG talker!). Mark tried to give him kibbles and treats, but no luck. He is enjoying attention again, though, and purring. We just assisted with a little more baby food; he's not thrilled about the process, but forgives us pretty quickly. He didn't seem nauseous afterwards, so hopefully once he remembers what it feels like to have food in his belly, he'll really get going on his now.

I have to head out for work at 10:45 and will be gone till about 4:30. We'll give him a bit more baby food before I leave, and go from there...

Trixie look great this morning. I hope Petey shakes the tummy thing soon. It sounds like he is starting to feel a bit better.

Amy --

I'd stick with giving Petey baby food. Kibble is tough on the digestive system due to it's fat content. Whenever Gabby has had GI problems, my vet suggested feeding baby food for a couple of days until she was feeling a bit better. It's also easy to mix some FortiFlora in with the baby food.

Thanks, Sienne...that makes sense. You guys all know so much about everything cat...the collective knowledge of this place never ceases to amaze me!

Sending healing vines for Petey Pie. Cat stretches and a little food.....sounds like Petey is feeling a bit better. Paws crossed that he continues to improve.

I know how hard it is on the beans when our kitties aren't eating!! It sounds like Petey is starting to feel better, though, so I'm hoping he's on the right path. Good luck!!

Trix is working this dose nicely....I think this is the longest we've held one dose.

Petey seems to very, very slowly be coming out the bug funk. Very slowly. I gave him a paper bag from the supermarket, and he jumped down from the chair he was on and went inside...good sign. He's purring quite a bit. He even came down at dinner time, but went back up before I brought the food out. Once again, a very mild interest in food, so we continue to assist with the baby food. He definitely is not a fan, but he gets "treated" afterwords with a nice, long brushing session which he loves. I can tell he's not 100%, though, because usually when I brush him he gets so excited he won't sit still....but, it still seems like he's making minor progress. I just hope he starts eating on his own soon....

Speak of the devil...he just came downstairs and started talking to me for the first time in days :-D ! Gotta go have a little conversation with him...


ETA: He just ate a little bit on his own, is trotting around, and chatting like his old self! I will continue to hold my breath until this has completely passed, but...fingers crossed.....(anti-jinx)
