My sweetie Pokey has acute kidney failure. She's at the animal hospital now, but not really sure what they're going to be able to do for her. I've barely been able to stop crying.
I'm so sorry. Our pets are so much a part of our lives. It's amzing how much of an impact they make in their short time with us. It's been 5 years this week since I lost my "Moose Dog" and I still think of him every single day....
I too am so sorry. I just sent an email link of your "Upside Down" post the other day to show my sister your sweet Pokey. Such a gorgeous, precious creature. Prayers and hugs for you and Pokey.
Oh Tonya, I'm so sorry to hear this! I will say a prayer for both of you, and Shade and Dunkel send head butts and purrs to Pokey. Our pets are such a big part of our lives, and it is so painful when illness strikes. My thoughts are with you. . .hugs to you.
It's heartbreaking when a much loved pet becomes so ill, especially when there's nothing much that can be done for them except make things as painless as possible. Hugs.
I'm sooo sorry about Pokey, Tonya. My kitty, Trudy, has chronic kidney failure ... we found out last year when she was about 7 years old. We don't really know how long she will live, or when she'll have a health crisis. It's soo hard, and I know you feel helpless. I hope the vets can find a way to make Pokey healthy again. She looks so sweet! We'll be thinking of you.
I, too, am sorry to hear this news. I am hoping if the reason for it is high blood pressure, they can get Pokey on BP meds and that would help. If the diagnosis came quickly (which it seems that it did) and they can determine what has caused it, there are things that can be done to treat it and I will hope this is the case for your sweet kitty.
I know there are no words that will help, I am deeply sorry, no one but the mother of a furr baby can understand the fear and grief you are going through, believe me I understand. Remember to take care of yourself.
Tonya, that really sucks. I hope the vet can make Pokey well again... I don't know much about kidney disease in cats, but this site looks like it's got good info: http://www.felinecrf.com/
Everyone here @Chez Jen is rooting for your furbaby to get well soon.
I open my arms to you and offer you a long, tight hug for as long as you need. There are no words to comfort you, dear.
To be able to love a pet is a wonderful thing. It hurts like hell when they must leave us, but there is something so very pure about being there to care for your furry bundle of joy.
Know that I understand and empathize with you in every fiber of my being.
tonya, i'm so sorry for your pain and really feel for pokey. prayers are going up for both of you and the vets also. keep the happy memories and maybe all the prayers will work miracles. we don't want either of you in pain. my two kitties send big purrs to pokey. giant hugs, patti in florida just north of orlando pleal@cfl.rr.com
Many hugs to you and Pokey. I can tell from all of your blog entries and photos that include her that she is much loved and very well cared for. Hugs hugs hugs.
She is the dearest, cutest, blue-eyed cat I've ever seen and I've simply LOVED seeing pictures of her on your blog. I am so very sorry she's so sick. I'm sending prayers and healing thoughts her way.
No words can express how sorry I am for both you and Pokey. I am hugging my furry friends extra hard tonight as we send healing thoughts and hugs to you and Pokey.
I am so very sorry to read about Pokey's condition! I hope the vet is able to do something. Will be thinking of you and Pokey and hoping for good news.
Oh wie schrecklich. Ich hatte auch eine Katze mit Nierenproblemen. Wenn ich gemerkt habe daß es ihr nicht mehr gut ging hat sie in den Nacken eine Infusion bekommen, eine richtige Beule mit Flüssigkeit wie eine Infusion beim Menschen, das hat sich langsam abgebaut, die Giftstoffe ausgespült und es ging ihr wieder gut. Das hat dann so ca. 2 bis 3 Monate angehalten. Sicher kann man deiner hübschen Katze helfen! Halte uns auf dem laufenden.... Liebe Grüße aus München Elvira
OH Tonya I am sorry to hear this. I hope the dr can help her and she is home soon. YOu take care of yourself too. I know how these kitties have been your constant companions for the past few years...your love of your cats comes thru with everyone of your posts.
OH Tonya, I am sooo sorry to hear about Pokey! She is just the sweetest little kiddie and you've always expressed her personality in the pictures you've shared with us. You've made me love her and I wish her a miracle recovery.
Tonya and Pokey All our hearts are with you: 1 hubby, 4 cats, 2 dogs, 2 horses. Animal people are good people who care for others. We care for you and your kitties. Take care of yourself at this difficult time. Ardis in Oregon
Tonya, I'm so sorry to hear about Pokey. I feel like I know both of you from reading your blog. If she's at the vets that's the best place she can be to get her the care she needs.
We are owned by 4 cats and 2 dogs, so I know how much a part of the family pets are. You will both be in my thoughts and prayers.
I'm so sorry, Tonya. Sweet, gorgeous Pokey...it hardly seems possible that she would be sick. I'll be holding a good thought for her and sending hugs and pets...
Nothing I can say will make it better. If it helps I am crying for you and Pokey right now. As old as I am I have lost many fur babies. It never gets easier. I am praying for the best outcome. Macy had to have subcutaneous fluid under her skin for several weeks before she recovered. Have you been painting anywhere in your home? Enamel paint fumes can cause kidney failure...antifreeze also. XOXOXO Subee, Macy, Pearl,Bess Baby and MaggieMae
I'm so sorry to hear this. Sadly, kidney failure is a common problem in older cats and sometimes younger ones too. Subcutaneous fluids should help her. When our Ella was 7 she was diagnosed with failing kidneys. We gave her fluids a 2-3 times a week - it's really not hard to do. We eventually were able to cut down on the fluids per week and after 2 years she has actually recovered and we stopped the fluids all together. I pray that Pokey will have the same response and recover.
Tanya, I am so sorry for Pokey and for you. I will pray for you both, for an ease for both of your suffering. She is a beautiful baby, and not matter what happens, has had a wonderful life in her time with you. She is a very special kitty.
sending love and hope to you for pokey my cat is my buddy and if anything happened to her I would freak out so I can only imagine how you are feeling I love seeing the pics of your cats all around and especially like those blue eyes that pokey has - I pray for all the best... blessings
I'm so sorry abouy Pokey! I also have a cat in kidney failure. Is a kidney transplant an option? It was not an option for my Harry because of his other health issues. Saying a prayer for Pokey.
Keep hope alive in your heart, Tonya and I will be a praying machine for you and for Pokey to have a speedy recovery. With 5 of my own I feel your pain. I have enjoyed getting to know her and your other cats. The cat and quilt community is a strong one. Hugs to you and Pokey!
Poor, poor Pokey. My Cinder had Kidney failure, we nursed him along for several years but he never fully recovered. I still miss him! I know this time is so hard for you, I wish there was something I could say.
Millie'sMom sent us over - we are so sorry about Pokey. we hopes that the v-e-t can do something to help. we are sending you lots of purrrrrsssss and furry headbutts.
Tonya, Oh, how sad...I will say a prayer for you both. My first thought is that I wish your husband was there with you... I hate for you to be alone. Take care and know that you are loved. Rondi
Mille and her Mom said you and Pokey were having a hard time. We're hoping that the Animal Hospital can help her with replacing some fluids so she can go home with you. Sending purrs and purrayers and positive thoughts to both of you through this very difficult time,
We read about Pokey over on Millie's blog and wanted to come over and let you know we are trying to send some good purrs and postive energy your way. We went through that with one of my cats growing up and I remember how hard it was on my mom - she couldn't stop crying either. I hope that things end up ok. We are all keeping our fingers and paws crossed over here.
We heard from Millie that yoor sweet little Pokey is sick. We'll be purring and purraying dat da vet can help. It's always sad when one of our fur babies is sick. ((((hugs))))
I am so sorry to hear this. I had the same diagnosis with my Babe. When the vet looked at her numbers they were sky high. He gave me the impression that it was just a matter of time. He kept her over night and gave her IV fluids and her numbers came up just a little bit. He showed me how to give her Sub-q fluids 3 times a week. That was back in Oct. 2008. She responded incredibly well. She gained weight and is doing fine. Please ask if this is an option you can try. It can't hurt.
We heard about Pokey from Darling Millie's blog. We are very sorry about the news and wanted to drop by to give you hugs & purrs !! Purrs Mickey,Georgia & Tillie
I've popped over from Darling Millie and Mom Lynn's blog, where they say your sweet girl needs as many purrs and purrayers as she can get. I'm sending them, as well as some for your hurting heart. You are not alone, Tonya.
oh i'm so sorry tonya! i'll say a prayer for her!
