Hurt

Our pop needs more purrs!

Our Pop's foot is really hurting him today and he had a bad night last night because of swelling and throbbing pain. This is his second week of IV antibiotics using the 2 strongest medicines available for osteomyelitis or bone infection. He is currently taking one of the medicines every 3 hours and the other medicine every 8 hours. He really needs some strong purrs to knock the infection out of his foot. Monday, the 26th, he will be going to the human vet for a recheck to see if any progress has been made. We pray he will get some good news at that appointment.
Thanks for all the purrs so far, we just ask that you keep them coming!

Cold As Ice - Movie

It hardly ever snows here on the coast of North Carolina. However, Tuesday afternoon brought 4 inches of snow!!! Our servants were released from work kinda early, when they got home, we had some fun!

Although the snow was exciting we couldn't help but think about those kitties who don't have warm homes. We purray they all found shelter from the flurries.

Hangin' Tough - Updates

***Update on Cal***

Cal's lady servant/mom here! Cal went to the vet yesterday for a check up for his IBD. Since his last appointment in November, just two months ago, he has lost a whole pound. Cal now weighs in at 9.5 lbs. He was a tad dehydrated so the vet gave him some fluids. In addition to his once a day dosage of prednisilone, she added a probiotic called Fortiflora. This probiotic will help with his digestive issues, like diarrhea. His food has been switched to Science Diet R/D for the high fiber content. I am not a huge fan of SD, however, I am a huge fan of him eating and gaining weight. He loves his new food (at the moment) and doesn't even notice the probiotic that I mix in. He also had to have his anal glands expressed, which he did not like one bit!

This morning Cal seems to be doing great. He is eating and his stool was normal this morning with zero blood. I feel we are getting back on track. The vet requested we drop into the office in about 2 weeks or so for a weight check. We pray he will have gained some by then!

***Update on Pop***

Pop is scheduled to be released from the hospital today. Yesterday, the doctors installed a picc line into his right arm. This picc line will be kept in for the next two months as he will be doing at home IV antibiotics. He will do 3 hours in the AM and three hours in the PM everyday for the next 6-8 weeks. We are all hopeful the antibiotics will kill the infection that has settled into his foot bone.

All of us on the creek would like to thank everyone for all the purrs and purrayers so far. You are all so very wonderful! Please continue purring and purraying for both Cal and Pop.

***Purrs Needed***

Our lady servant's father, our Pop, has been in the hospital since Monday. He stepped on a nail at work and now has an infection in the bone. He is on very strong antibiotics and is unable to put any pressure on his foot. He will have to remain on IV antibiotics for another six weeks. Please purr for his recovery!

Cal will be going to the vet tomorrow. He has bloody stools once again. Please purr for him as well!

Toesie Tuesday with Chevelle

What's different about my toes?? Do you see it??

Here's a close up......do you see it now? I have an extra claw on my back paws. So, Instead of having 4 claws on the back, I have 5!

I am the only one in the house with an extra claw on the insides of my back feet!

***Snoopy Update***

A note from Snoopy's new parents:
Snoopy is adjusting very well we are all very happy with her. I will try to send some pictures and another update soon. I'm not sure if she was named Snoopy because of how curious she is but the name does fit her we will keep it.

She loves to play, is very active and also affectionate. I'm glad to hear CC found a good home also.

We are enjoying her very much. She is the perfect addition we were looking for. Thank you very much!
