9/4 Rocket-update

[Rocket & his Mom]

hi all,
it's been a long time since i opened a condo. It has not been because i'm ignoring you all...but simply cause i have been extremely exhausted with no energy to be by the pc once coming home from work (as you know at work i can barely get on the internet)

i still keep you all in my thoughts and prayers....glad Tarragon is doing better....sorry if i've missed anyone else here....i still pray for those of you who are coping with your losses of your kitties....know i always always keep you in my prayers....

Yesterday it was Rocket's last day on the Baytril....the nasty ab that made him stop eating and i had to rush home at lunch (each day) to come feed him and make sure he was ok....since the ab was being given to him at 2 am....you can imagine my lack of sleep and fuctioning with less than 5 hrs sleep each day...and not straight thru....but we got thru it and hopefully that will solve the infection he had....

Today i'm supposed to up his pred dose back to 1 pill but i hesitate a little bit and will give 3/4 pill and see how it goes....don't want to shock his system as his bupe dose has been upped....his vet reluctantly wants me to give insulin....but as you all know...i never listen to the vet in that regards...

his SS has not been updated....

yesterday and this morning so far i managed to finally sleep (still not straight thru) and i feel a little better....not the walking zombie i felt before...

Rocket is eating on his own though still doesn't go to his dish....he is pretty weak or high...hard to tell...and walks different too...but overall he is still waking me at 4ish am....still giving me attitude and i manage to play with him even if for only a couple of minutes....

overall...it has been quite the experience but i'm glad/happy that Rocket is still here with us...i've been thru hell and back with my lack of sleep but it doesn't compare to what he is dealing with....so i thrive knowing that i'm doing it to help him....

so that's the latest here....

hope you guys are doing well.... :smile:

(((Claudia)))) Thanks for the Rocket update...you both continue to be in my thoughts and prayers...hope now that the Baytril is done, he will get stronger and eat better for you. Take a nap....and get rested up, you have been thru a lot the past month with Rocket.

 

[Michelle and Mannie (GA)]

Hi Claudia - thanks for the update. As always you are in our thoughts. I too hope that now that the Baytril is done he will be more active and eat for you. paws crossed!

 

[Karrie and Maverick]

Claudia I am thankful for every day you have with Rocket. Glad he is still giving you attitude and interested in small amounts of playing. Sorry you are sleep deprived but you know how worth the sleep deprivation is. The rushing home at lunch is probably fatiguing you more mentally and physically. Sending you hugs! Good luck with the pred and no more baytril.

 

[Georgia and Simon (GA)]

Claudia, I am so glad this is the last day of the baytril. Now, hopefully, you won't have to rush home at lunch to make sure Rocket is eating. And you can get a little more rest. It is nice to hear that Rocket is giving you attitude. You are so blessed to have each day with him. He is such a strong boy and the love you have for each other is amazing. Hope and pray you have a good week.

 

[Sienne and Gabby (GA)]

Thanks for the update. Hopefully, as the Baytril clears out, Rocket will be more himself.

Claudia, you are such a Trooper and a great amazing bean for caring for your baby as you do!
Look how Rocket has improved from how he was! I know that AB's knock me out & drain my energy, so, you can imagine how it affects a little cat! Knowing Rocket as I do, I feel he will definitly improve, after the Baytril! Yes everyday you have him with you is a blessed day-Hugs & Love from us
ANd Always in our Prayers!!

 

[Angela & Blackie & 3 Others]

Thank you for the update, Claudia. I'm sending tons of healing vines for little Rocket. Get well, little guy! {{{{{HUGSTOYOUBOTH}}}}}

 

[Ella & Rusty & Stu(GA)]

Hi Claudia & Rocket,
This is good news about the Baytril being finished with. I hope that all will get much easier now and that Rocket will continue to feel better and better and that you will be able to get some much needed sleep.

Thinking of you and sending hugs, vines, good thoughts, prayers--the whole kit 'n kaboodle!

Ella & Rusty

Hi Claudia,
Today is the first time I've posted in a long time also. I'm glad to see that Rocket is doing better and hanging in there. I haven't been online much since my mom died, but I hope you know that you and Rocket are always in my prayers and in my heart.

love,
Caryl

Claudia: I don't post in your condo as much cuz sometimes I miss it when you are here but always keep you all in our thoughts and prayers. I hope you get some rest. Glad to hear "our boy" is still frisky. You've done amazing with him.
