Re: Tipper - adrenal tumor/breathing issues
Patti,
I hope that your neighbor falls in love with Delora's cat.
Telling off the son's wife wouldn't get you anywhere. They have no conscience.
Good for talking to the hospital social worker! Tell them EVERYTHING!
Please suggest that they appoint a non-family member to be in charge of her care. They can do that. I wouldn't trust the son at all.
You do so much, too much. You're one person and can't be there for every needy person.
Get some rest. I worry about you. Hugs.
Re: Tipper - adrenal tumor/breathing issues
Oh my, so they aren't telling the rest of the family what is going on either. :(
I am sure the son and daughter in law would not have taken care of the cat, if that is the way they reacted to you being there to feed and clean up after it.
I am so sorry this has turned into such a mess in your lap. :(
Sending you prayers for strength to get through this.
hugs

Patti, this was Ginger before her seizure medicine. A lot less now with the meds. Is Tipper's anything like this?

Re: Tipper - adrenal tumor/breathing issues
Hi Everyone:
We woke up to 2 inches of snow and frigid temperatures. Tipper will not be walking. I called my neighbor last nite and he said he was watching TV and the cat was sleeping on his lap!! I am hoping this time together could help him decide to keep her permanently. Could I be so lucky?? Tipper did good at her laser therapy. We were discussing all her lumps and bumps, and she said Tipper seems bothered me by two of them that she could see, as when touched by the accu pressure tip in the laser she moved her body away from it. K will go over this with the vet next week. This is a first for no blood pressure today. I decided Tipper's mental state is more important, and she needs this break. Toby goes on the 31st to get his teeth cleaned and blood work, and then the first week in April he gets his new spring do. I made the mistake of having him groomed before his dental the last time, and they just ruined his do. They get wet and yucky when being worked on, so no more of that. I talked to Delora last nite. She said her daughter in law was going to take the cat and it could stay on her sun porch. I felt really bad, and did not have the right to say this but I told her no, I have the cat and I will never give her to them. Delora was taken back when I said that and did not know what to say so she just said ok. I would love have let an animal go to an abusive situation. It will all work out. Delora said her soon is putting her in a nursing home near where we live on Thursday. She was given a cat scan etc
yesterday. The son probably wants to know how long she has left some does not have to pay any money to the nursing home! Blessings

Re: Tipper - adrenal tumor/breathing issues
Hi Patti,
We didn't get the snow...just some fierce wind today so it feels way colder than the temperature outside.
What a situation Delora is in...poor thing. If it is a decent nursing home she will be better off with people taking care of her as it sounds like she's unable to be on her own anymore...though I'm sure she will miss her cat. So many nursing homes aren't that great so it all depends on the place, I hope the one she goes to is nice.
Maybe your neighbor will enjoy the company of the cat. A little more time together and maybe he will become attached! I hope so.
Glad Tipper gets a break from doing the blood pressure, it was so good last time, seems like you wouldn't need to do it again this soon anyway.
Hope those lipoma aren't bothering Tipper too much.

Re: Tipper - adrenal tumor/breathing issues
Hi Everyone:
Well I got some video of Tipper on the tablet. She was having tremors, but not the bad ones. I will try to get these up on photo bucket. My neighbor who has Deloras cat called me this morning and said the cat cried all nite. He had to go out and lay on the sofa, she curled up with him and went to sleep. Hope she does not keep this up, and make him not want her!!!! Tipper was really bored and naughty today. Thats OK cause I love her anyway. Next week temps in the 50s!!
Blessings

Re: Tipper - adrenal tumor/breathing issues
hi patti, i hope everything will work out fine for delora and her cat.
hopefully your neighbor will take her.
is tippers leg totally healed by now? or does she still need this therapy for something else?
maybe you can visit delora in the nursing home and inform the staff?
good night to you and tipper.
Re: Tipper - adrenal tumor/breathing issues
Patti,
good for you refusing to give the cat to Delora's family! I hope that she calms down and gets used to being with your neighbor. It's hard for them to be uprooted but they adjust.
I'd glad that Delora will still be close enough to visit. I would definitely talk with the social worker on staff about her family.
No walking for Daisy either. The wind and temps are horrendous!
Re: Tipper - adrenal tumor/breathing issues
Hi Everyone:
Tipper had many tremors last nite when falling asleep. I need to get some time to get the video ai took with the tablet on photo bucket. I cannot take any animals in !y office until the end of May because of the Corona virus that can still live in the carpet, and the dogs could carry it to the rest of the house on their feet? Therefore I cannot go in tom use the computer as Tipper will bark and cry. There are many things, paperwork, pictures, stacks of mail that need attended to. I may ask the sittermto come sit with Tipper while I get this stuff done as it will take a few hours to get it all accomplished. Delora is to be transferred to the nursing home today. She had a bunch of scans yesterday and I can't remember if I mentioned this, but they said she definitely had a stroke too. I am going to try and walk Tipper before the rain. Blessings

Re: Tipper - adrenal tumor/breathing issues
The cat is in a strange house and by the sounds of it not in a room with anyone... think I'd howl too. Poor thing.
Wet weather this weekend so not much walking for Keesh I don't think.
