It is a miracle what they can do medically these days.<br />My wonderful 13 year old Smokey developed Diabetes and I had to inject him twice a day. It was hard for both of us but it made him feel so much better, I know he trusted me and forgave me.<br />Pokey will forgive you too. Just remember you are making her feel better and be strong.<br />My prayers are with you and I love hearing that she is feeling and looking better. You take care of your self and enjoy the holiday with your hubby.Nancynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14046597.post-46347227482608990592009-06-01T14:26:06.607-04:002009-06-01T14:26:06.607-04:00You are doing GREAT!!

Sometimes we moms have to do unpleasant things to make our babies feel better! I kind of chuckled when you called her "Pokster". It is kind of ironic now that you have to give her a poke! I hope this gets easier on you both!!Mama Sparkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03124372688717255658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14046597.post-42637493721531121492009-06-01T10:54:57.682-04:002009-06-01T10:54:57.682-04:00Tonya, you know I heard about this through a frien...Tonya, you know I heard about this through a friend and a phone call. ...as if blogging and email aren't good enough! hee. <br /><br />As you know, if you'll recall, I've always loved Pokey and was so shocked to know what had transpired.

My Mother makes a huge batch of dog food for her babies almost every week so she has control over all the ingredients. In a pinch, she's very selective about store bought brands if she has to use those. It just seems to me that there's stuff out there that shouldn't even be on the shelves at stores.<br /><br />I'm glad things are getting a little easier for you and Pokey. You'll both make this adjustment just fine. I have every faith because you love each other! She may always run away afterwards, but the periods of withdrawal may get shorter as she comes to expect this as part of her routine.<br /><br />Love the new words! I hope mine arrives to you soon.Beenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14927516866270017716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14046597.post-9434472262128636912009-05-30T18:01:26.653-04:002009-05-30T18:01:26.653-04:00Handquilting is soothing on the soul and if Pokey ...Handquilting is soothing on the soul and if Pokey sees you are sitting down calmly, watching a DVD, then she'll know you didn't mean it, head butt you and ask for love.

Our kitty boy Caesar had CRF. He lived to be almost 17, and here I am, his litter mate, over 18 years old!<br />I have mild kidney failure and only need subq's One day a week.<br />mom is an old nurse, so this was not too bad for her.<br /><br />here are some tips. get everything together, have one place where you give the fluids, a cozy spot with lots of space. put a sturdy 3M hook on the wall so you can hand the bag up. mom puts the bag on a small plastic hanger. after each subq treatment, put the new needle on so it is all set for next time, other wise, you will see the activity and be inclined to leave the area and hide if you hate this. Now, Caesar was very compliant and took to the subqs quite nicely, for every cat it is different. I prefer to be in my cuppie bed, and have some nice tasty kitty foods to smell and nibble on while getting the subqs.<br />Try to give fluids in a calm area, not too much noise so kitty feels comfy. Be business like about the procedure, do not panic. Be sure when you put the needle in, you have the bevel facing up, it goes in easier. take your time, don't rush. If the fluid is cold, you can warm a damp washcloth in the microwave to sort of warm up the fluid. Just wrap it around a bit of the tubing, take it off when done with the procedure. Try to keep as need and tidy as possible. Mom give me my fluids at night so I can be calm.<br />good luck. Have you looked at the low protein foods? Hills and Purina have foods available at the vet.<br />be sure to have LOTS of fresh water around. mom cleans my bowls an refills twice a day. Always monitor output. If you get constipated you should add a bit of pumpkin (canned not spiced mix) to the meal. <br /><br /><3 and purrrsRosemary B❤️https://www.blogger.com/profile/17792395820711368533noreply@blogger.com
