Watching over the Kibbles and counting down the meowdicine
On Friday 10.4.13 Maudy ate some juice from the Friskies canned food (he is not allowed to eat that b/c of his crystals - but to entice him - it was warranted.) Saturday morning I picked up some of the urinary SO in wet and fed it to him - he took a little bit here and there. Called the vet @VCAH- she is going to prescribe an appetite enhancer for him - oh and it's an anti-nausea too. (I also mentioned that I had stopped the Flagyl for 1 1/2 days to see if that would help, but she told me that he needs to finish them - so we will continue with that.)
Sunday 10.5.13 I picked up the one pill cut into 4 pieces. I am to give him one piece every 3 days. One piece went down the hatch on Sunday - he started to eat a little - YAY! and Monday he ate a little more. He is still not himself - It has been almost 3 weeks now.
He has some meowdicine (Flagyl) to finish.. there are 3-4 more days of that. And then the last pill for his appetite will be given next Tuesday the 15th.
He is really trying to get better - howled at the back door of the apartment last night - so we let him out into the hallway - he likes to run up the steps to the 3rd floor - he just hopped and then laid down on the first landing. He smells his catnip toys, but doesn't play with them, 'sigh'.
Still no play time w/Daphne - I put her on the floor in front of him and he growled and hissed - that's ok.. he's not ready yet.

MAUDY - PLEASE GET BETTER SOON
It's almost noon - I hope my Maudy is doing ok. Getting his rest - watching the birds.. enjoying the sunshine from the window. Just thinking about him.. wishing I was there to do snugglewugglies. I love you sooooo much my best boy. Cannot wait to see you later >^..^<
.. went home and had some nice quality snuggles with Maudy - it gives me lots of warm fuzzies - especially b/c he came to me for cuddles!

September 19th and 20th Vet and Animal Hospital
On Thursday, September 19th, Maudy wasn't feeling very well. He was throwing up and not eating/drinking. I gave it almost 24 hours before I called the Animal Hospital (in Valley Cottage, NY).
.. now it is Friday morning, September 20th - Maudy is still sick (already made the call to the Animal Hospital - appointment is for 11:30am.)
.. Daphne has a 9am appointment with the local vet, Dr. Krauter (Hackensack, NJ) for a check up b/c she is a new kitty, and although the pound gave her vaccines and such - one has to always check in with their own vet. She got a booster shot and we had a little concern w/ick in one of her ears and some eye goobers - I was told to watch her and report back if it doesn't go away. At this visit we also find out that she has RoundWorm and needs to be treated for it.
Maudy and Daphne have had playtime for a few hours each evening - so they already have been exposed to each other.
Now I am more panicked than I was earlier because of Maudys sudden onset illness.
side note - Maudy has had surgery already at 2 1/2 and a couple of other assorted liver issues - they feel as if his immune system is compromised b/c he has a chronic liver disease.
Maudy was in VCAH from September 20th through September 23rd. - I picked him up that Monday night.
While he was there he was dehydrated, had a fever, and wouldn't eat, and his belly hurt. They did a number of different blood tests and and infectious disease panel, and x-ray and an ultrasound. They also treated him for RoundWorm just in case he had it. The liver enzymes were elevated, and they didn't know why he had a fever. When the fever finally broke - he started to eat and get back into it a little bit. I was so devastated - crying and all - so worried about my baby boy!!! When he came home I felt better, but still worried. He first 2 days he was ok - his eating was a little bit off, but that was to be expected. I also had to give him medicine 3 times a day - no one likes to take meowdicine!! >^..^< Then he got a cold!!! Sneezing all of the time and had a runny nose. Then the next day runny eye - UGH!! I kept him warm and he still ate and drank - so the signs are still good. Now I think that the cold has worn off, but for the past couple of days I notice that the food in his bowl hasn't been touched. If he has eaten, it was very minimal. This weekend I will keep close watch on that. I cannot loose my heart and soul (that would be Maudy) he just has to get back to himself.
In the mean time - Daphne has been cooped up in the bathroom - where she finds the sink and the flushing of the toilet interesting. I am keeping them apart 'just in case' - but as soon as Maudy eats - I think that we will have a play time.
Here is a photo of Maudy under a heating pad trying to get past his cold -

New Kitty
Adopted a new kitty from the Teterboro Animal Shelter on September 7th. I named her Daphne.
She is a little tabby cat, with cute markings.
Don't know if Maudy will like this - he is 9 1/2 years old - and she is just 5-6 months old.
They have play time at night - and for the most part it goes pretty well.
