Gershun,

My last cat lived to be 16. My brother had a cat that lived to be over 20 years old. He was solid black. Mine was striped.

I have had many cats since childhood, all colors but I have never had a solid white or solid black cat. My neighbor had a beautiful white Persian cat.

Will pray for your kitty. He sounds so sweet.

So an update on Henrick. We brought him back home today after his two day IV therapy. His bloodwork has improved. I do realize that his disease is progressive and this is not a cure but it will give us a bit more time with him I hope. We'll be increasing subcutaneous therapy to twice a week instead of one. Feeding him kidney care food. They sent us home with some new one to try that he ate while he was there and so far he seems to like it. Plus we are giving him an appetite stimulant. Not much more we can do except pray.

Thank you all for your prayers and good wishes. Please continue to pray.

lu -how's trouble doing with her dental sugery?

gershun - having Hendrick cared for at the vet's for his treatment must be somewhat of a relief for you. I understand that. It's hard as they age and get ill.

Yes, he's the one in the middle of the photo. My dear sweet Henrick. The other cat on top is Daniel. It will be two years in August since we lost him.

We dropped Henrick off at the vet this morning. To be honest it's nice to know he's in good hands and someone else is taking care of him for a bit. Gives me a break. Kind of like respite care for humans I guess.

Thx for your comments it's me.

Gershun,
Your vet would not have offered a treatment if it was Henrick's time.

The vet will inform you and make gentle suggestions, then you will know.

It is your pet, you will know without anyone else pressuring you.

Take heart that Henrick has this chance.

We are praying for you and your dear cat.

Well Henrick's news isn't great. We are now battling anemia and pancreatic problems on top of his kidney disease which is getting worse. We are taking him in to the vet tomorrow for a two day IV flush. Sounds like a very temporary fix. But we'll try it once. I can't help feeling we are just prolonging the inevitable but I couldn't live with myself if we didn't at least try.

Prayers appreciated.

Trouble,my 6 year old cat,isn't doing too good.
She has her tongue all the way out of her mouth and drool coming down from it,so I took her to the vet and the vet found that she has 2 infected teeth that have to come out.
She has to be put under and each tooth costs $400.00 to remove.
dH isn't happy about that.
Trouble hurts and still has several days till her surgery.
it's just pitiful to see her like this.
it 's hard to see Trouble in trouble.

DIL,

You’re welcome. Great! That’s wonderful news. Try it in the yard. Fleas are a tough issue to deal with.

My cat lived to be 16. I had her before I met my husband. He had dogs and said that he didn’t know if he liked cats.

I told him that I would not marry him if I didn’t have my cat and that we were a package deal! LOL 😆

She won my husband over. He loved her as much as I did.

Thanks NeedHelpWithMom, the Adams house spray for carpets worked overnight - what a relief- I even sprayed the wood floors and the bathroom tile. I think i will try their outside flea spray instead of Bugfree Backyard. The stuff the professional used in the yard did nothing.

And yes, the vacuuming helped immensely - I sprayed the filter and the inside of the canister since I already had the Adams spray on hand. After vacuuming I immediately emptied the canister in the outside giant bin.

DIL,

Yeah, you really have to treat outdoors as well as inside. Talk with the vet about that too. Or a pesticide person.

Send,

Lots of vacuuming! Carpets, furniture, mattresses, etc.

Report

From a study done by Ohio State University,
Homeowners dogged by household fleas need look no farther than the broom closet to solve their problem. Scientists have determined that vacuuming kills fleas in all stages of their lives, with an average of 96 percent success in adult fleas and 100 percent destruction of younger fleas.

What great ideas for treating fleas you all have~
We usually use the drops on the neck ,like you SharynMarie but last year they didn't work very well .Maybe it was the brand.
We also tried Diatomaceous Earth powder too.
Anyway,I appreciate what everyone said.
Thanks alot~
