Boxer 21 Aug 2009 - 16 Dec 2013

Hi everyone,

Yes it has been months since I blogged.  It has been a busy year so far.  It is only 12 days to the wedding, but that is for another post.

I have been wanting to write this post since Boxer, our sweet cat, passed away.

Cautionsly optimistic

On Monday I had to take Nanuchy back to the vets. You can imagine how thrilled she was to be back, and for you who are keeping count that is 3 vet visits in 2 weeks. Unlike Patachou who loved going to the vets, Nanuchy not so much. The night before she had had horrible diarrhea. It seems Little Ms Thing decided to pick up something on one of the walks (since really she didn't have enough going on lol) and she was loaded with bacteria (vets words lol). So she got 3 additional meds to help her feel better. She lost another lb between Friday and Monday. She has lost 4 lbs since May and now weighs 23.5 lbs.

Nanuchy - update

I dropped Nanuchy off at the vets this morning for her ultrasound and urine culture. I just got off the phone with Nanuchy's vet. It's official she is in kidney failure, sigh. Because her kidneys aren't working well, the toxins are getting into her system which is why she is throwing up. And also which accounts for her drinking so much water. Her vet wants to try a few things out to keep her quality of life good and was happy to hear that her quality of life is the most important thing to me and that I will let her go when these things don't work anymore, but without going to extremes.
