Day after...

Haven't been on the net so much been trying to take care of Carly, She gets her meds at 8:30am and at 8:30pm, she seems to be very careful at walking when she does, She sleeping a lot. Mitsuru still in her hissing mood. I wonder when she will be stopping this. I worry. I try to make them play together but it only aggravates the situation. I guess I should just let them be.

I just been really depressed over Carly and seem to spend lots and lots of time just watching over her. I really am scared if she will be loosing her sight. I know that cats do live pretty well, they adjust... Still I don't want that for her. Still waiting for the result from the ophthalmologist.

Ophthalmologist Appointment

Woke up and fed the kitties around 7am. Carly's 8:20am appointment is today. Got there and waited for about 5min. We were the first ones there. The vet looked at her and did a full ophthalmologist examination [tonometry-intraocular pressure]. She saw that she has some degeneration of her eyes. They took blood for taurine, and toxoplasmosis tests [IgG+IgM]. All this was 600$. If worse comes to worse there will be a MRI done which she will be put down to check her out, that will cost over 1,000$... We will see about the tests first.

Mitsuru is still hissing and trying to scratch Carly. Carly just stares at her maybe she can't see her craziness... Right now Carly's in her favorite chair and Mitsuru is under the covers on the couch.

Called the regular vet to talk to her but she will not be in until 2:30pm. I will called back later. also asked if Mitsuru's hissing was normal and the secretary said its normal cuz she must smell the hospital.

Discharged!

Woke up and called the vet. Carly seems to be OK but didn't know if she would be discharged. Mitsuru has an appointment at 11am to see the vet because I found a bit of blood and mucus in her stool. That really scared me so I wanted her to see her. Took Carly's previous appointment to get her teeth clean and extracted [which was postponed due to the unknown illness] and took Mitsuru to see the vet instead. The vet gave her special food and gave her a complete check up to see if she had anything. We need to get a fresh sample of her stool and take it to them as soon as possible.

Carly has an appointment tomorrow at 8:20 for the ophthalmologist, as a cancellation was made. She was also discharged from the vet and came home. the technician was going to put her in with Mitsuru but she started to hiss at Carly. I decided to cover Carly and bring her with me in my arms. Once home she seem like totally happy and went to her favorite chair but on her way Mitsuru was all upset and seem to be not happy that Carly's back. gave Carly her meds at 8:30pm. Seems to be eating OK but sleeps a lot.

The night was quiet but both cats stayed away from each other.

Visiting Carly

Carly's in the hospital and Mimi is just wondering where she went. I wonder what she's going to do when she comes home? I called to find out what is going on with Carly. They told me that she had seen the vet and had Iv once again with her meds [Prednisone 5mg, Clavamoz 62.5mg]. The dosage has change into pills... We went to see her. Brought her bed and finally was able to eat with me... Spend about 2hrs with he.

The cutest kitty 7month old name Raoul... Was there for castration... :(

Carly seem more herself when we left and the vet was kind of surprise. Will see if they can get an appointment for the ophthalmologist as soon as we can, because the 30 of June is a bit too far and this might be an emergency. She also said that she might get to leave tomorrow. Another night at the hospital for Carly.

Scared that Mitsuru will get use to being on her own and try to be mean to Carly when she comes back.

Carly in hospital

Carly's is sick from what, we don't know... What cause it, still a mystery... Anxious, nervous and praying she'll be OK!

Its been a week that I've noticed somethings different with Carly. She was walking very cautiously, any noise made her jump, she started to eat less, when jumping of the couch or chair she was very hesitant to jump but the final straw was this Sunday when her pupils didn't react to light... They stayed big and when I tried to put a string in front so she can play she ignored it. I stayed up until early morning reading all about different eye diseases... I got about 3hrs of sleep and woke up to feed them. Called the vet and they said it was urgent for her to go in... We were there in 20min... We got there the technician first examine her and wrote some info on her chart. After about 5-10 min the vet showed up and did her test. BFG and me told her of her problems that we had been noticing for the past week...

I also told her that Carly had an appointment on Wed for blood work for her cleaning and extractions but that was put on hold... She said the most important thing is to deal with the problems she's having. It could be many things she said hypertension, diabetes [Carly weights now 9.48lb], or unknown disease. I wanted to cry but stop myself. BFG saw me struggling so he took over and started to talk instead. The vet checked her breathing and heart... She said she noticed a slight arrhythmia, that's scary. Carly's only 4yrs old... Also she saw how cautious she walked... I'm so scared!

The vet decide it would be best for Carly to spend 24hrs at the hospital for observation and where she'll have tests done: complete blood work, 2 x-rays, blood pressure taken, ecg [if needed], IV [if needed] and see if she's eating OK. As she's been eating less, it could be that her teeth hurt too as she needs extractions and deep cleaning which has been postponed do to these unknown problems that have arised.

I knew something was not right with Carly.. I had this gut intuition and BFG just thought I was too sensitive. He doesn't spend as much time with them as I do and when my kitties are not 100% I can see right away. To the vet we go! =^.-= I love them so much, they're part of my family and will do anything for them to be OK.

Now it's the wait and see time...

Called
3:05pm liver and kidney are OK. Vet is operating will call me to talk to me about the results of the other tests...

Vet called
5:40pm - on looking closer they found kidney stones. Carly seems not to want to eat and got hooked to IV... She'll try to see if she can make her eat something and will give her antibiotics. Also, Carly's heart seems a bit not much but a bit big. Her lungs and arteries are fine. Tomorrow she'll see the vet and a call will be placed to the eye vet to see if they can see her as soon as possible and they'll call me for further updates. I been thinking what could she have ingested that made her so sick. Tomorrows white blood cell count will reveal more but for now she's still looking depressed and not eating.. Worried... no sleep...
I'm worried about Carly so very much... I can't seem to sleep... she's at the hospital for observation...

Pictures of the day...

Morning time... at the water hole! I guess they get thirsty at the same time... they do this every morning... I finally got a shot of them drinking at the same time! Sweet looking kitties... You can see how different their tails are... So cute!!
Carly is trying to loose weight right now and tends to drink lots of water in the morning before or after she eats... She gets her daily water intake for sure... On the other hand Mitsuru is one kitty that is not so water hung ho as Carly... But when it comes to food, they are both their with bells on! Although, if Carly and Mitsuru would eat together [seen in previous feedings] Carly would swallow her food and then push Mitsuru of her food and then vacuum clean the bowl... She walks away proud of herself... Too funny... We need to control her food intake so that cannot happened anymore... Plus, poor Mitsuru can now gain some weight... Heee....

Interrupted... Excuse me this is private! :P This one was funny... They need to always get a shot of them. heee... How wonderful are they? NYA! After this I was making breakfast and they tended to stay around me, thinking they would get some yummy human food. But that would never happened as Mitsuru may get crystals in her kidneys and Carly is sorta chubby and doesn't need to get more round... Plus, it has taken me a while for them not to go on top of the counters and tables... Not allowed... They usually think they own every piece of furniture...

Mitsuru getting petted by BFG... She is so cute... Got it on video... heee.... so cute.... Purrrrr.....All the time she gets petted she tends to purr so hard... she's a very lovable kitty... She comes and asks you to pet her... Well, she also comes and meows at you until you feed her... And if she has been fed and Carly is in the bathroom locked up Mitsuru comes to tell us to get her out... She's a true sister to Carly... I separate both of them when they eat as Carly tends to eat Mitsuru's food and Mitsuru does the same. Not a good thing for Mitsuru because Carly always pushes her... Heee...

In the evening... All smudge up! Being Artsy!!! Wanted to take a picture of Carly but this is what I got and when I tried to take another she was gone like the wind!!!

just home these past few weeks

Mimi loves lying down on the side of the couch... I love to take her picture when she does that. I never had a kitty that did this sort of thing... She is a unique and crazy cat, well what cat is not unique to his/her owner, heee... She's still playing and loving the crack... She's found a new play mate... Carly on the other hand doesn't pay no attention to that... she love sleeping in her bed near the window. where she gets her breeze of the day! she's one cute cat... Due need to get her sleeping on BFG backpack, well both of them do it. We don't know why but they do...


Carly on the other hand loves to settle herself, when the basket is not there, to go in one of the squares in our coffee table... She finds it fun to be there...

When taking this picture I thought it would come out totally cute but then when I uploaded it to my pc, those eyes, scared me... the flash always love Carly's eyes and makes her look weird!!!
I am recently dabbing in the world of polymer clay and made some trinkets for the kitties to wear... still need to find more necklace wire to put the charms on them... Hopefully they like them and looks good on them... Mimi got an M and Carly got her C... On top of that they get little paw prints and a flower! I need to see if I can make them a cute collar to go with it... They have the rabies tag with a small circle bell right now... Talking about shots, need to find out when their next rabies shots should be given... They're needed in case we take the girls out of the country! I rather be safe then sorry, even though they have never traveled...

They're 100% indoor cats... They love to look out the window but that's as far as they go... Maybe this summer I'll see if they go on the balcony but they're not use to the noises outside and when they have been out on the balcony they tend to get scared and go into the house right away.

wall-crack love & sun exposure

Mimi is infatuated with a crack on the wall! She seems to talk to it and wants to play with it... She stares at it like it will play with her! Crazy kitty... Miss Carly has been basking in the sun for about 30 min. She is an Island kitty... I think she was suppose to be born in a tropical island... Those are our guesses, anyways...
Right now the misses-kitties are looking at me while typing this post... They're trying understand why I am making so much noise.. Crazies...

Carly's new bed

Made a kitty bed for Carly from scratch. Dang it took me over 18hrs to do it [Sat 3/15 & Sun 3/16]... I was really tired but she love is. I'm trying to train her to sleep there, so what I do is feed her some snacks and pet her, so she feels comforted and happy in the pillow-bed I made her... I still need to make Miss Mimi's... All the fabric has been cut and iron and just needs to be sewed...

I will start it tonight! My goal of the evening!
