This morning has been rushed for me. Mike came home from the hospital! (YAY) and event though I called the hospital first and asked if he was ready to go- they said yes- it still took four hours from the time I arrived there for him to be discharged!
All the problems he was having came as a result of the reaction of the prescription drugs he was taking. You would think the doctor or the pharmacist would have caught this interaction. But, he is home, he is weak but he is alive. He will be in a wheelchair because of the neuropathy, but they took him off the majority of the drugs he was taking before.
Shell must be stressed- at least I hope that is what is going on, because when I went in to see her, she had missed the pans and gone all over the floor. It’s diarrhea which has me concerned because she can’t afford to lose any more fluids. I gave her sub-cu’s but oh my heaven’s I can’t even give her 30cc because of her thin skin and the bubble that normally appears when you put fluids under the skin- they don’t on her. The fluids just vanish.
She is sneezing more today so I stopped at the vets and got her some antibiotics. I really don’t want to take her in again, the visits stress her out and the less stress on his lovely girl, the better. I am putting her on forte flora as well to stop the loose stool. Poor kitty- but she came right out and said Hello to Mike! That was awesome! No pun intended, but she is coming out of her shell.
Talk about good news/bad news. Sending heavy duty purrrrrrsss to both Shell & Mike. Hang in there, all of you.
We are glad Mike is home safe. We send rumbly purrs to you all and we hope that little Shell gets over this bout of diarhrea quickly.

Oh my what a day for you….so glad your hubby is home again with you and that Shell thinks it is great also!! Maybe a little white rice and some ground turkey for dinner…that would be good for Shell also:))
I posted about Shell on one of my on line groups and over 289 people have seen her story so far! She is being purrrred for from all over!
Take heart and know how much we care…

What a day indeed.
So glad to hear your hubby is home.
Cannot wait until we have Shell’s big auction. It should be quite the event.
And get the little sweet heart all the medical help she needs.
Sounds like she is covered in the love department.
Love & Purrs,
KC & Mom ML
Gosh, sure glad that Mike is home. But sorry to hear that Shell is having a little set back. We are sending tons of purrs that she will bounce back really soon. We will ask the donkey to cross their hooves too. That should do the trick. We will cross all our paws too. Take care and hope things get better.
Have you tried some lysine for shell? That can help with kitty colds. Meowm uses 500mg capsules and sprinkles them on our wet foods. You might check into it.
We are glad you hubby is back home and we hope he makes a full recovery quickly.
