Sick Baby...

Our Penelope Ann is a very sick little kitty.    She is in critical condition being cared for at home by her mama...and papi.    She is having some problems with her diabetes and the vet doesn't know whether it is a kidney problem because of the diabetes or what.   Her blood sugars are all over the place.   She wasn't eating and was so weak.   She isn't using the potty which can't be fun for her either.   We took her to the Kitty ER yesterday and she was loaded up on fluids, vitamins, insulin and had her blood and all checked.    She was given some food for critical care pets.   You add water to it so it gives them fluids as well as food nourishment.   Whatever they add to this it tastes really good so even critical care patients will eat it.   SHE DID!!!!!  She loved it.    She hadn't eaten for some time and I mixed the moist food with warm water and she ate a half a can mixed with water in a 12 hour period.   She went to the vet this morning and got more fluids, vitamins and insulin and checked out again.   She has more energy and was even not happy being there.  Yesterday she didn't feel well enough to complain.   She even meowed most of the way to Auburn (to the vets office)  from Fort Wayne today.   That was more normal.   Her voice sounds more normal today too.   Not as strong but much better than yesterday.   She ate a fourth of a can of food when she got home and is now resting comfortably in her favorite little corner in the closet.    We have been soooooo worried.   I know not many people read this blog of ours...however, whoever may read this will you please pray for our baby girl and her mama and papi...so all of us can continue to be the family we are.    She is all we have and we love her.   Hugs to all.
