Thank you all so much for the love and support. It really means to much to Ron, Tucker and I, there is no better place than FDMB.
Last night there was not much change. He did go around the house when we got home, but after that he quieted down and spent the rest of the time in one place. He stayed where ever he was placed, no real movement from him. I placed him in the litter box a few times but there was nothing.
This morning he wasn't as 'gone' as he was yesterday morning. His tongue wasn't hanging out, I guess that's improvement, but not enough where I have any idea of what may happen today. Patti mentioned another steroid to discuss with the vet, so we will do that. My vet called me at about 6:30AM this morning, she said she was up during the night thinking about Tucker. I'm thankful that our family at the clinic loves Tucker as much as our family here does.
I wish everyone could meet him and could know just how special and amazing he is. I call him my little man and that's not really a nickname, it's the truth. He has gone to stores with me, he has hung out with large dogs at Purrfectly Spoiled Pet Boutique when they were open and held parties in the back. He's even picked out his own toys and bedding when we've gone there. Some of you may remember the story of how Tucker got the bed with the huge feathers all over it. He has posed with Santa and gone for drives to the beach with my husband. He's also scared the salesmen where DH works because he used to come to the dealership on his leash and walk around. One gentleman thought Tucker was a bobcat and to this day is still frightened by Tucker's photo.
He's a strong cat and I will give him time to try to rally, but as a strong cat, with a strong will, letting him linger as a shell is not something I can do, but I don't want to rush any decision.
It's also strange to know that Kiki joins our family tomorrow and I wish it could be a happier home for her to come into, but at the same time, as much as I want everything to stop and to only concentrate on Tucker, things have to move forward. Lilly Grace is proof of that. When all I want to do is hold Tucker and ignore the world, Lilly Grace reminds me that I must feed her and bring her outside to use the facilities. With her severe CH she can be emotional. This morning was not a good morning for her. She's always been close to Tucker and Sam and right now she knows there is something wrong. She refused to let me feed her and refused to go to the bathroom. Perhaps the smell of Tucker on me is too much for her. Ron is taking care of feeding her and bringing her to the outdoor spot.
Again, thank you all so much for your support and advice. I will upload some photos and post his photobucket account soon.
