Poor Kitty November 12, 2006
I haven’t had much to really say the past few days. Our sweet Muffy is not doing as well as she has been, and it just makes me sad. She’s been refusing her subq fluid treatments lately, and it’s hard. I wish I could explain to her that the treatments are what help her feel better, but all she can understand is that Dan and I stick her with a needle and let fluids run in her.
We did manage to get about two-thirds of her dose in the other night which is definitely a step up from where we had been. She’s just really caught on to the whole process lately and doesn’t hesitate in letting us know that she’s not a fan. I don’t want to torture her. I just want what’s rest of her time with us to be good time. We’re doing our best to make that happen.
I don’t think this would be quite as hard if we hadn’t just watched Dixie go through the whole renal failure thing a year ago. I know what’s down the road for Muffy, and it’s hard to watch her get closer and closer to that.
She’s still hanging in there, though, and despite everything is still a very happy and sweet kitty. I just wish things were easier.

I’m sorry your sweet kitty isn’t feeling better. It’s hard when you can’t make them understand that what you’re doing is good for them!
Im sorry about Muffy sweetie..Hugs!
on a happy note, Happy 29weeks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just over two months to go!
I’m so sorry. It is so hard when our pets are hurting.
Oh poor kitty indeed. I’m sorry Amanda, hugs to you all.
I have two kitties and I think you are being incredibly strong. I can’t imagine having to face this a second time. I’m so sorry.
Oh I’m so sorry poor Muffy isn’t well, I hope that it does get easier for you. hugs x
oooo not another one. Poor Muffy. It’s so difficult that they don’t understand that all you do is just for their best. Hope Muffy feels OK and that she’ll respond well to the treatment.
Hugs to you!
I’m so sorry about poor Muffy and poor you, and poor Dan. It’s so hard.
I’m so sorry. Watching a beloved friend decline is so hard. We lost our Kitty in August and it is still very painful. (((HUG)))
I’m so sorry. We are dealing with kitty renal failure as well, but Mags never let us do the fluids. We have her on benazopril to help with renal perfusion. Is that an option? It’s so hard to watch them go through this.
