I hope you're both feeling some butterflies

Erin is a little better this morning, wish I was - I woke up with a migraine. Call in sick, take a Maxalt, go back to bed. HA gone 4 hours later.

Anyway, she slept with me on the pillow most of the night, first time in weeks. And was with the other two cats doing the I'm starving routine while I fixed their breakfasts (now 3 different diets for each cat) and gave morning meds to Erin and Bonnie. If anything the prednisone shot helped, now we wait to see if the other meds do their thing. She also needs to consume enough calories to fuel her engine to fight.

We're taking one day at a time.

Glad Erin is feeling better - sorry about your migraine. I can sympathize with you on both - it's no fun when kitties are sick (and there is rarely any sleep to be had with a sick kitty in the house). My migraine meds have stopped being effective I need to go back to the doc and we need to go back to the drawing board.

This afternoon when I came home, Erin was at the back door with the other kitties waiting for her afternoon snack. This is the first time in weeks. Just so happens I bought a few small cans of wet food at the grocery on my way home hoping to find something she'd like, and thus consume. She ate most of one of the small cans - apparently salmon pate was a good choice.

I've been wrestling with whether or not it's time for the final visit to the vet. She has to improve, including gain some weight if she's going to survive. At some point her little heart will just give out despite all the nursing.

So having her greet me gave me some hope. She's still getting her evening meds and IV...

Erin sounds like she has a lot of fight left in her. Has she been diagnosed with a heart condition?

I will admit I still, to this day, miss my cat Scooter for twice a day for eight years I gave him sub-q fluids to treat his kidney disease. He would gladly crawl up into my lap, curl up and purr away as the fluids raced through is line and under his skin. He was such a joy and a true gift that touched my heart deeply. I hope you and Erin have similar success and many years together (Scooter was my best buddy for 17 years).

Beth, that's so wonderful! I think that's a huge sign, Erin wants to stay with you longer (and who could blame her)

Still sending lots of butterflies to you all....
