I told my mum that I wanted to do a Sunday Selfie today even though we are taking a blogging break.
I can see I am out of practice, I have chopped off part of my ear and my mouth!
It was okay though because dad came to the rescue and we had a double selfie.
You can see more selfies at The Cat on my Head with the Kitties Blue.
I have a short update for you as well.
I had been going on as usual, a couple of bad days every week or so but the other days I felt okay and was enjoying life. Wednesday and Thursday I had two very bad days and was giving up because I felt so rotten. Mum rang the on call vet and it was my usual one who rang back right away. He was on the phone to my mum for ages discussing my options with her.
I had stopped eating and all I wanted to do was continually eat grass but couldn't be sick, and I kept hiding away and lying on my side.
He suggested giving me Cerenia for 4 days and Rinitidine (Zantac) to see if it would make me feel better. Mum was very relieved to be able to speak to our own vet because he knows me so well and knows the bad effects most medication has on me.
I have started eating again and am not looking for grass all the time. I started to get a little wobbly on my legs but he said that is to be expected because I have lost so much muscle mass. I don't seem to be having any ill effects from these pills apart from the Cerenia making me drool last night. I only have one more of them tonight and my vet wants to see how I am with just the Rinitidine.
He said that even though I had been eating very little, the low dose Prednisalone I have every day would help protect me against developing Fatty Liver Disease.
Mum and dad thought I reached the end of the road this time, but they should know I have fought back from the brink three times and I am determined to make it a fourth time.

Flynn, it's so good to hear from you. We're sorry to hear you had a few bad days but glad that the medicine seems to be helping you. We're purring for you, buddy, and hope you continue to have more good days than bad. By the way, we like your selfie!
ReplyDeleteAh buddy so sorry you're not feeling your best. We are sending lots of purrs and love to you and yours.
ReplyDeleteFlynn it is wonderful to see you and your Dad today. So very sorry that you were feeling very ill for a bit. Hope you continue to improve and rally again my friend. Praying for more good days for you! Sending you tons of POTP and healing Love. You are in our prayers every night.

Dear Flynnie, we are so sad to hear you've been having bad days. But for being so sick you look absolutely marvellous in your photo with your dad. You know, when we kitties get older we begin to have some of the same problems older beans have except we can't tell folks how we feel. The tummy meds may relieve that nasty stomach acid/ irritation feeling we get and then we can eat better. We are keeping you in our prayers, darling. We'll say it again, we LOVE you like you were our own. We think of you all the time and miss your sweet face and delightful personality. It is comforting to know you have a vet that knows and loves you and whom you can trust. We wish we could cuddle you in our arms and tell you how much you mean to us. All of our love always.
ReplyDeleteSending love and purrs to you and your beans. Glad you have a wonderful vet who is thoughtful in what he is doing with your pills.
ReplyDeleteHey! Flynn!x You hang in there...
ReplyDeleteLooking good in the selfie with dad,
Let the medicine settle in and work,
it'll sort you out and make you better!
Take care now!x And BIG...(((HUGS)))x
What a sweet selfie of you and your male human, Flynn! I'm sending you lots of purrs to help you bounce back - we still want you here, feeling better!
ReplyDeleteGreat selfie Flynn,feel better soon mate,and enjoy your break,see you soon,xx Speedy
ReplyDeleteDear Flynn,
ReplyDeleteThank you for the update but we are truly sorry that you have been going through a bad patch again. We do hope it is just a patch and that the meds will continue to make you feel better. We love the double selfie!
Big Purrs,
The Chans
Oh Flynn, your selfie with Dad looks really REALLY nice. It made Mum's heart melt. Get better soon our lovely boy!
ReplyDeleteFlynn, I was so glad to see you on the Sunday Selfie blog hop. Your selfie with your dad is so precious.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you gave us this update. You are a tough boy, and I am so glad that your mom and dad as well as your vet see this in you and never gives up on you. I am sorry you had some extra bad days this week, but I am very glad that the Cerenia and Zantac are helping you. My Angel Rosie had to stay on an acid reducer for years, or else she wouldn't eat. She was also pretty wobbly on her legs due to arthritis and muscle atrophy in her old age, but she worked through that like a champ, just like you, Flynn.
As always, we send you lots of love, purrs, and prayers! Thank you for giving us this selfie and update!
How fantastic is it that you felt well enough for a selfie with your dad? We didn't realize you were this sick or we would have got mom to make you some of her chicky soup. It must be fantabulous cause peeps get better really quickly after they taste it. Either that or they're scared she'll give em more. MOL
ReplyDeleteYou're a fighter Flynn so get rid of this thing and come for a visit my friend.

First of all I love your selfie with your Dad - you two are such good buddies. Secondly my friend, I didn't know you were having another very hard time - it sounds like you were truly feeling just awful but as you have done before, you're fighting to stay...I know you don't want to leave as you love your life with your Mom and Dad. You know that I understand this so well myself. I send you happy hugs dear Flynn - enjoy your days and nights as best you can. It's what we do isn't it....one day at a time. Mom and I love you and hope that you will be alright and get stronger. I want you to know we think about you a lot. Our road is a similar one....sometimes harder than other times but always filled with love and devotion to our humans!
ReplyDeleteLove, Sammy (and Mom Pam)
We're sorry your not feeling your best. We're praying that you feel better! We love your spirit and your selfie. Blessing to you and your family!
ReplyDeleteSo good to see you, dear Flynn. We came here first, because we were so happy to see you. You are going the same road as Granny's Angel. He was a fighter too. So glad your Dad was helping you with your Selfie, but we liked yours too anyway. Pawkisses for a Blessed Pentecost Sunday and Healing continues :) <3 <3 <3
