Rocket & his Mom

NO syringe feeding for Rocket since last night. All things considered he is eating ok (not the greatest) but on his own.
That said....i noticed yesterday...he goes to sleep and it’s a deep deep sleep almost non responsive like....no idea if it’s cause he is sooo tired or if it’s a combo of the meds and what he has been through....i had to shake him to wake him up and give him his last med of the night....it scared me cause that’s how he was when this ordeal started...he was non responsive then....
This morning the banging of the blinds was on time! He ate everything that was left thru the night too....
His follow up vet apt is Aug 19 (soonest I can take him and when his vet is available)....he finishes the Baytril on Sunday....but if things don’t go as planned then I either take him to the ER or to his vet sooner....
Prayers are still needed....
BTW....i chatted with my mother in law yesterday and she briefly asked how the crew was doing....i didn’t get into details with her but all she said was “Gees....Rocket has used up all his 9 lives....i guess he has more than that!”....but the tone of voice is what i did not like..... it seems as though the more people don’t want him here the more he is proving them he WANTS to still be here!
Going home at lunch again to check on Rocket....
Since i’m at work and doing this pretty rushed...can someone link yesterday’s condo for me? Thank you so much....
 
This is soooooo awesome! You go, Rocket!

I think we call relate to the irritation of tones used by thoughtless people when it comes to our furry loved ones. They just don't get it...and, IMO, it's their loss. I'm a crazy cat lady, and proud of it!

Keep up the good work, Rocket - you are a star!!!

well, WE all get it why rocket is important. some people - they just don't.

*psst* i bet rocket's not so crazy about your m-i-l either, is he? they know when beans aren't cat people. they can spot them from a distance!
 
some people just don't understand our connections with our kitties.
I for one am thrilled beyond words to read he's eating on his own. GO ROCKET!!
 
Hi and that is all so positive with Rocket eating on his own, and I love the banging of the blinds. Could it be the pain meds he's on for the deep sleep?
 
Awesome news Claudia, i'm so glad Rocket is feeling good enough to eat on his own. Keep up the good work buddy!
 
I had to look twice to believe my eyes! I'm doing a happy chair dance for the Rocket Man!
Every little meal is a big victory! He may now have a little more strength to fight. And he has my permission
to nip your MIL on the ankles next time there is a visit. :twisted:
 
Went home to check on Rocket and he had eaten sometime in the morning. He was more interested in going on the balcony....so he went out for a few minutes....though short lived he was glad to get out for a bit....

As far as the deep sleep....he’s been on the bupe for a while now (Feb) and this is the first i see him in such deep sleep....he wasn’t low on BG as i tested him (will try to update SS this weekend)...and of course I worried as that is how i found him 2 weeks ago...un-responsive.....even when i tested him he didn’t even move....then he woke up as though it was nothing....wonder if it’s part of the Baytril too....

Though my MIL loves pets (they’ve had a few)...and has looked after Comet and Rocket in the past....i think they think i’m nuts for going above and beyond with him (and they don’t know the sleepless nights and me going home for lunch otherwise they would think i need to be institutionalized!).....for the get-togethers it has to be around Rocket’s med schedule and now that i have moved his meds around it has created a bit of a MESS....and if i say i won’t go...she gets insulted as she really wants me there....i love my in-laws but they just don’t get it that Rocket comes first (actually DH but you guys know what i mean)

I left him fresh food and we’ll see what awaits me when i get home from work.....
