I'm just crying that I'm over here, and she's in a vet clinic with no one she knows with her. I just wish I was there to comfort her and maybe say good-bye.![]()

If you don't have anyone able to take a shirt of yours in to the vet, can you ship one there for her? I'm sure she'd enjoy snuggling up with something of yours even if you can't be there in person.

My kitty is epileptic and he has episodes where the meds can't keep it under control. Whenever he is at the vet overnight the techs really go all out to make sure he feels safe and comfortable. I'm sure the wonderful people at the vet clinic are giving your kitty lots of love.

Keeping good thoughts and hugs headed to you and her. I hope she keeps making improvements.

Do a web search for "tanya crf" then read everything you can on her site.

On Saturday morning her time the vet removed her IV. Her kidney and liver test numbers had made it down to the normal range, better than he said he could have hoped for. Now the acid test, do the numbers stay good without the fluid and med drip going in. If they stay good, she gets to join me in the Borrowed Time Club. A week ago her vet didn't think she was going to make it through the night, but she's out to write her own rules. Please keep the dust headed her way.
