Jen, I so understand about the screaming and crying with pets that have issues.

This is cycle 6 so hopefully there will be some downward movement today. :bighug:

I know how rough it can be. How is Peau?

Peau had her follow-up on Tuesday. No change in her heart issues. She does have crystals in her urine and the pH balance is off. Giving her the prescription food the vet originally gave Rudy (Blue Buffalo WU) with crushed up vitamin c to try to get her urine more acidic. I also ordered Wysong dry for urinary issues. Her bloodwork will be back today. It better be ok. I can't take much more.
 
I know it is not easy to have cats with special issues, but one thing I learned when taking care of my civvie that had cancer was to just focus on the day at hand and not think about the future. It wasn't easy to do every day, but it did help me deal with things better. I tried to make the most of each day and not worry about what might happen. :bighug::bighug::bighug: Sending prayers.

It's not even just that. I have to time everything so I'm home for meds, bg checks, feeds. I can't really go anywhere. I haven't had more than 4 hours of sleep in over a month. I have 3 cats with 3 different dietary needs, so my kitchen is basically a pet restaurant. Then I have to referee the feed so no one is switching around and eating the wrong food. The top of my microwave looks like a pet pharmacy. Every time I turn around the past few weeks - something else is wrong. And in those few fleeting moments where everything is quiet - I get to walk the dog. I have zero support from anyone. No one seems to understand how full my hands are. I can't take much more of this.
 
Hopefully Peau's bloodwork is good and you get the bladder issues under control. I know it's hard, I've been dealing with multiple issues here too, feel free to vent all you need :bighug:
 
Just been a rotten few weeks. I guess everything finally caught up with me. I feel a little better now after giving myself a break and doing almost nothing all day.
