    Default I forgot to say thank you.... Thanks ya'll! (cat thread)

    Damn, where are my manners? I forgot to say thanks concerning the incerdible amount of support I recieved from you ladies when my cat fell ill. I read ya'll responses whenever I felt down and discouraged. The update. Cleo is finally stabilized. She DID however experience heart failure due to the extreme weather and panic. Now she is on meds....for life! But, I'm grateful too still have her around regardless of the circumstance.

    The vets kept telling me to that she wouldn't survive the night, and that she probably wouldn't be able to breathe without an oxygen tank. Well, two months later, and $2,000 in the hole she's still kickin it. Granted, I don't allow her to much physical exertion. If I see her about to go down the steps to use the litter box, I will carry her down there and back up once she's done. I also won't allow her to chase her mom around the house. Instead I play with her with low impact toys that won't elevate her heart rate too much. I also give her syringes of water every other day b/c the meds she's on are direutic's(sp).

    I was about to get her euthanized last month because I was being selfish, I kept thinking that I didn't want to walk in the house and find her dead. That was Sooooo selfish of me, and now I'm glad that I didn't take that route. It's between her and God, and her will to live is INSANE! And I decided the least I could do would be to honor that, besides, the vets assured me that she's not in pain. The cardiologist told me to look out for the two A's, Attitude and appetite. Well, homegirl is excelling in both areas.

    So, there ya go. She's happy, bright, and a testament of strength to all. She stoops sometimes, but won't stay down for long. Just a few sec's to balance her heart rate. Again, thank you ladies! Ya'll encouraging words and prayers kept me with a sense of hope. And to everyone with sick animals don't under estimate the power of prayer and faith. Your animals pick up on more than you may realize. They can feed off of your strength at times of weakness
