just thought i would let everyone know that yuki still has her absolutely nasty disposition when it comes to taking meds. since i am keeping her confined in one room she can't run away and she is still too weak to run or fight me. that was my only saving grace when i went to give her the antibiotics tonight. she couldn't scratch or bite me but she sure gave me a spiteful glare. later, i saw her get up and drink some water on her own without any coaxing from me. that is a good sign.
tomorrow i will take her back to the vet. this time i will have to insert the needle. hubby said he would rather go pay our property taxes on the house. he hates needles worse than i do. i told him he would still have to hold her steady and keep her calm when we have to give her the fluids at home. i am sure that wasn't a look of enthusiasm on his face when i told him he had to help.
unless something changes (like really good news), i will be posting updates in the evenings. i am also going to let kimiko take over the posting duties for yuki while yuki is not feeling well.
take care.
Boy Shirley you are a brave one with having to hydrate Yuki. I pray things will go well for you and Yuki. Sure am thankful that the kidneys aren't in full failure. Hope it's just a slight infection and the anti-biotics will help it. Come on Yuki get better. We love you.

Shirley, my heart goes out to you and Yuki. I truely hope that the antibiotics help out alot, and the sub-q fluids do what they are suppost to do. That is a good sign that she is drinking water on her own. Oh, and kd has a chickne and rice , besides the pate one. Then Eukanubah has a wet food, and dry food for kidney issues.
ReplyDeleteYuki, we hope you feel better soon. lots of prayers and kitty loverz to you.
Yuki, my sweet friendz I hopes youz feeel better soon.-Snowy
My dad's the same way bout needles - he'd rather get the flew than a flew shot! Ask yur vet to trim Yuki's claws just cuz that's one less problem when she struggles. Or PetSmart will do it in their woofie salon fur about $8, but that's kinda stressful.

Best wishes to alla you an healin purrs.
