Toby's Selfie, Saint Francis & Blind Cat Rescue

It is the Friend of all Animals Saint Francis of Assisi's Day, and he has some pretty important words: A Cat purring on your lap is more Healing than any drug in the world as the vibrations you are receiving are of pure Love & Contentment.

We are joining The Cat on My Head Sunday Selfies Blog Hop.
Hope to see your Selfie too!

Meowing about St Francis we do hope you send some support to our friends at Blind Cat Rescue & Sanctuary. They give forever homes to cats who are Blind, have FeLV or FIV and were lost, discarded or headed to "that room" at a shelters. They have a great Raffle going on with Super Prizes! Please take a look.

Purrs and Healing Prayers for Buddy Budd

*****

12/04 Monday 7am
Yesterday Buddy went to the vet 

I have known our vet for as long as he has owned the practice, over 30 years. When I called he made it a point to stay to check Buddy out. He knows a lot and has cared for some sick kitties over the years. Me being a RN we went over the things I would think of if Buddy was a person coming into my ED. He agreed it was an odd case as there were no clear signs to any path... Then he suggested an inner ear infection. He says this can come on suddenly and Buddy has been sneezing a little. This could be why he was not eating. If a cat cant smell it they wont eat it and he did not even eat the freeze dried minnows that he LOVES Saturday night! 

I really pray it is that simple solution but at 16 anything could be possible. He is now on fluids, will get some steroids and antibiotics. We shall see...

He was in no pain and, unlike myself, did not seem upset which I find heartening. He will get any care he needs as long as he is happy and comfortable.

I will update today when I have more information!

Please send Purrs and Prayers.

Right after we posted our Selfie with Rumpy there was a medical event.
Something happened to Buddy Budd. He is turning 17 this year and has some medical issues but this is something totally new and very scary! 
He has not been eating well the past 24 hours and I was watching him closely this morning with his breakfast. He passed up his normal meal even with treats on top. More alarming was he seemed very unsteady on his feet. 
I got the rest their breakfast and he had gone into my office. I called him and he came out but was walking with an odd gait. He climbed up onto the table using his stairs and I opened some baby food for him. 
Wow did he dig in! He ate the whole bottle and I was really happy. Happy until he tried to jump down and fell!
Now he cannot stand or walk. He is in no pain. I thought a Saddle Thrombus but no pain and his back legs are warm.
He tries to get up but not a lot and, as stated, he seems to be in no pain. I moved him over to the water and he drank a good bit like always. 
He was lucid and awake
No crying and no pain!
He did not seem very upset by all this!
I did what needed to be done to care for my Big Blue Buddy, Buddy Budd.

Now on to the impawtent news.
Our Buddy Rudy needed some work on his luxating Patella. Seems he has been limping more of late and his Mom took him to see a specialist. They thought it may have been congenital problem but no matter as it would not get better on its own.

Our Pal Rudy can use some Purrs and Prayers

Join Us!

We will keep our purrs going until he is better and will keep you all updated on how he is doing.

Any suggestions on how to get him to eat after surgery, he is a picky fellow, and how best keep him being too active are appreciated.
