Tipper - adrenal tumor/breathing issues

Hi Everyone:
Tipper is having a nap right now. She seems to be doing a little better on her leg today, she is putting her foot flat on the floor more times than not. I wish I could just keep her from thinking about running and jumping for a while. I was calling to check on Delora and she was not answering. I just got ready to run up there and she picked up the phone. She has been sleeping a lot and very tired so she did not hear the phone, she is almost deaf. She is ok just not sounding like herself. I hope if she passes it is in her sleep as she is very scared right now and I feel so sorry for her. Wow no one told me when a Main Coon throws up a hairball stay out of the way!! It was like an explosion of food like I have never seen. Sorry maybe TMI but I was really taken back by how much they throw up . It always has to be on the carpet too! She sits in my office by the window and looks up at the birds eating at their feeder and she slinks around like she is going to pounce and catch one, she it too cute. I think this is the first time she has had access to a window which is pitiful. I will get her a cat window perch later after she sheds a few lbs and she can get in it. I will have to get a super heavy duty one for her size! My other cats have one, but she would break it she is so big. have to take Tipper out in the frozen Yukon to go potty so I am hoping this weather does not freeze her leg up like last time. Blessings

hopefully you don't need a lot of appointments at the laser therapist anymore for tipper. and with all the costs for this new cat........
besides from the cushing tipper sounds in pretty good shape.
when the leg problem is solved, you will have a puppy again.....
sleep well tonight!

Patti,
Glad to hear Tipper's leg seems to be feeling better.
Praying for Delora.

Oh Patti!
I laughed out loud at your description of Grace's hairball.
Thankfully, Annie has only left me that kind of present once. Gracie actually cries before she lets loose, makes me wonder if it hurts her.

Hahahha, I can't stop laughing :-)

Hi Everyone:
I just took Tipper for her Adequan shot. I think I need an apartment above the vets office. I am there 2-3 times a week think of the gas I will save. I forgot about it and it just popped up on my computer. So we don't have to go Wednesday. Tipper lost weight YEAHHHHHHHH!!!!! She also had good BP again. I have bad news on another front to report though. Grace be able to stay here. I have to find her a home. I got her blood results while I was there. I had specifically asked for a Corona test as I have know about it for 30 years or more. If a cat tests positive for a corona titre then that means is has a 30% chance of shedding FIP during it's lifetime. Feline infectious Perotinitis which has no cure and will kill your cat. I cannot take that chance as much as I love her and would love nothing more than to keep her she has to go. I will have her teeth done Wednesday and see after they swab her eyes if she has anything else so the person I give her to knows what is going on. This is preventable and I could just scream. I wish I could find that lady I would be strangling her right about now. If the cat would have been vaccinated and only kept indoors around no other cats that did have the same shots etc. she would be able to stay here. This poor baby. That is why I have found animals to be better than some people. So she will be an only cat somewhere for the rest of her life. I must now start finding potential people for her. It is not fair she is in a room alone. Tipper's leg is getting better, she still holds it funny, but she is walking better. It just sleeted if you can believe it, and the roads are slick so Tipper cannot walk today. I watched her last nite and she fell asleep early and so did I but it seems it may have been the second nite with no seizure activity that I could see. I am hoping she did not do it when I fell asleep and the meds are working- could we really be this fortunate??? God I sure pray we are. Please pray I find sweet Grace a suitable home as I will be very picky where she goes. Blessings
Patti

Awwww Patti,
That sucks about Grace.

I hope that you can find her a good home!
Can the vets help with that? Many let you put up a poster in their offices.

Good news for Tipper!!!!!!

Hi Everyone:
I though I was bummed about Grace well now I am really more than bummed. I am devastated for my poor little lady neighbor Delora. He wonderful Pastor son called her and told her to forget the chemo as she does not have long to live. May her rot in Hell yes I did say it and I mean it!!! The poor thing. I have to find her cat a permanent home now too. Her son will take it in the woods and shoot it. I am just sick over this news, what a way to comfort your mother that gave you life!!!! I still am hanging onto to the good news about my girl though, I have been very blessed with that. It is a solid sheet of ice outside as we had sleet all day. I have to carry Tipper to the spot and put her down to go potty and it is not easy holding her and making sure we both don't go down. I can feel the temperature dropping. God help old people that have children like this pastor. Blessings
Patti

Oh my god! That is terrible. Can't Delora make her own medical decisions as to whether to have chemo or not? Why does her son have the right to say, no you can't have treatment? Dude is seriously messed up. :(

I'm so sorry Patti. This is just too much for anyone to have to bear. :(

hugs,
Sharlene and Molly Muffin

Patti,
Please call those numbers that I gave you asap.
Your neighbor's son is abusing her and this can't be allowed to happen and you have enough to deal with. Let the professionals take over please but those calls need to be made right away for her sake please.

Her son is a piece of crap. I wonder what his parishioner's would think?

I think I would show up at his church and give a testimonial to just what kind of "christian" he is. But then, I'm an old B_____!

If he has power of attorney there isn't anything she or anyone else can do unless they take him to court and can prove he does not have her best interest at heart. :(
