Shhhhhhh...

This is me now after my trip to the vets. Sleeping like a baby.



                             Now for my update. I have as mum suspected lost a little more weight but the vet gave mum and dad some different appetite stimulants to try and these wont froth and so dad can crush with my other tablets and when dissolved syringe into me. This should make me less stressed because the normal meds I don't mind. The new tablets I only have to have every three days so also better. We will keep fingers crossed that these new tablets help. Kari they are the ones that you mentioned: Mirtazapine so hopefully will be good.


   We were so sad to read today that my lovely sweet woofie  friend Thunder is really ill. I was so hoping it would not be serious and  know his family are so very worried and upset. Power of the paw needed. His blog is: Here Thinking of you my friend..

A strange thing...

A strange thing is happening. You remember I have told you a lot of times that I hate other cats in my yard and neighbours yards and will chase them away. Well I still hate most coming except there is all of a sudden a exception to the rule.               
                                             This little one is only a young cat and comes by many times a day. Its not a stray and lives just across the backs from us. It sits and looks and waits and when I am about it comes close. Mum has given the name Felix.

                                             Here he/she is waiting on the shed roof for me to come out..
                                         Today dad went to the back of the garage and there was Felix and me sitting quite close and I was not spitting, hissing or chasing. Both dad and mum cant believe the difference with this kitty because I have always without exception chased al introoders away. When the little one saw dad he went in the space between the garage and next doors fence.  followed but again no chasing..
                                                     He/ she is nervous of people
 This one also comes a lot but I am my usual self and will chase away if mum or dad don't get there first and stop me.. Again not a stray..
 
 
Do you remember us showing you this little one many times. We think this was a stray and mum really did love this little one. we fed every day more than once and mum spoke to our vet about doctoring and was going to pay for it because she was worried it was a female and would have kittens. We are sad because she has not been around at all for a few weeks. We don't know what has happened but pray it is because she has been given a home.

            The very strange thing is why don't I chase the little Felix cat away. A puzzle indeed.
    I am still not much different and very quiet and slow . I go back to the vet tomorrow and mum and dad will ask if there is a alternative tablet to the appetite one because I am once again hiding from my meds and dad hates that because it is only the appetite one that has caused this and he had got the others to a fine art and I didn't mind at all. Mum is still having the ear problem and thinks the silly tablets could be making it worse. So tablets have a lot to answer for at the moment.
    I hope al my friends are ok and love and hugs to  all. GJ xx

Mixed things today....

Hello everyone. Mum went to the doctor and she has a problem with her inner ear. She got some tablets that hopefully will help with the tipping over and nausea feeling. The doctor said she should not drive or go in work this week so a enforced rest. I am still very up and down. The three tablets I take for my kidney's heart and blood pressure are no problem because dad crushes and gives in a syringe. I am used to this and don't mind. The appetite one seems to be a different matter as it foams up and causes me problems. Its this causing the problem. Mum crushed it into a fine powder and put it in a little cream cheese. I took that ok last night and this morning but unfortunately it has not worked its usual magic with me eating. Mum says I am so causing worry at the moment.
                                      Mum thought you might like to see a couple photo's from when she went to her friends wedding a few weeks ago.
Nice smiley pictures..
                                                      Love and hugs to all.. GJ xx

Mum come and look what I can see...
                                                  What is it Jasper what can you see...
                                              Its out there look and you will see what I can see...
                                              Oh my cat its just dad out there fooling around...
                                                Hello dad what are you doing out there...
                                                Pulling silly faces I can see...
                                 Hope all are ok. These were taken a few weeks ago but mum thought a little light relief was in order. I am now not liking the pills and am hiding when its time. This upsets dad because he was so good at all the other pills I take and I didn't mind at all. The trouble is the stress of the appetite pill is not good at all and I am quite down again. what a lot of ups and downs.
     Mum and dad went to the Robbie Williams concert and enjoyed it very much despite mum's tippy thing going on. Mum will go to the doctors tomorrow to try and find out what is going on..
         Hope you are all having a good weekend. Love and hugs to all.. GJ xxx

Another Vet visit....

At the vets this morning. I am always very good and all the vets and nurses love me.
                                Waiting for a chance to jump back in the basket. I don't run away though and at least no sticking things in me today...
                                Hello everyone.. I have been having the tablets since Wednesday night and I ate more food. I was back at the vets this morning and he said he would keep me on those for a few more days to try and keep the appetite going and because I had eaten he would not take me in but would see me in another week. So fingers crossed I keep it up. Mum and dad were so relieved that I didn't have to stay in because they were dreading that. Mum is not feeling tip top and has a dizzy like thing going on. Not spinning but rather tipping to one side and feeling yucky. Hope that does not last. Work on late shift today and then a Robbie Williams concert tomorrow which has been booked for a log time.   Take care everyone. Love and hugs GJ xx

My update.....

                                                Hello everyone.. Firstly thanks for all the good wishes they mean so much to me... Now my vet visit report. I went to see my vet today and although he is a very nice man indeed I don't like going one bit. They stole my bloods from my neck again and listened to my heart. Looked in my eyes really good to see what my blood pressure was doing. I was weighed and indeed have lost weight but we expected that with the small amount I am eating. My blood levels have risen again but not as high as was first feared. I am to have another tablet in the hope of stimulating my appetite much more than it is now. I have to go back on Friday to see if I am eating more and what is happening with me. The vet man discussed with mum and dad that if I don't start eating better on my own I would probably have to go back into the vet hospital and be on a drip and see if that helps because the constant rising levels mixed with not eating could mean a rapid decline.Mum and dad are hoping it does not happen because it really stressed me up so much last time. So mixed news really and just hoping so much that it becomes good news.
                  We also got to visit with load of friends last night before mum went to her night shift. We are going to try again to visit more tonight. Thank you so much my friends. Love to all. GJ xx

Hugs Hugs and more Hugs.......

Hello everyone.. Firstly we are apologising again for not much posting and commenting. Mum has just had silly shifts and lots more going on  and does not always feel like doing my blog. That does not mean we don't think about all our friends because we do all the time. We so appreciate all your caring and all your purrs and woofs as they mean so very much...
              After having two really good days I have had two quite bad days with me being sick and not happy. I think I am going to be up and down but hope there is more up than down..

                                             Dad says don't worry Jasper I have you...
                                                           Ok dad..
                                                      Yes you have me...


                                                 Ok dad enough with the hugs...
                                                          Oh go on just one more...
                                                         Sheesh.....
                                                Take care everyone.. We will visit you all soon.
                                                          Much love and hugs GJ xx

A little glimmer...

                                        Hello everyone. Some of my friends commented on my last post that I was looking a bit brighter. Mum thinks maybe I am. I have started eating a bit on my own, I don't eat large amounts but I do eat maybe one packet during the day which is a lot better than nothing. I also seem more alert. I have not been near my turbo track for a couple of weeks and used to play every day with it. last night I looked at dad and flicked the ball a couple times. Today I have been quiet again but yes mum thinks definitely brighter. It is not tomorrow I go for blood tests but next Wednesday so hopefully it wont be the bad news mum has been dreading. The appetite tablets are undoubtedly helping me eat that small pouch of food but yes better than nothing.
      Love and hugs to all.. GJ xx

Have a good weekend everyone...

Hello everyone. I just came by to say I hope you all have a great weekend. We have been having some lovely weather the past few days so I have got to relax in the sunshine. Nothing new to report except I am really very lethargic and really not up to a lot. I am eating very little. I have more blood tests a week on Wednesday and we are so hoping those levels have not risen a lot more.

       Mum got to plant out the baskets and tubs but dad asked her not to put anything in the wheelbarrow planter as I like to lie in it. Although mum loves to see it planted out and full of colour she agreed and left it without.. Te he .
                                             We thought you might like a little update on our little great grand bean Alivia.. We haven't shown you any pictures since she had her surgery. Well look at her now..
                                               With her brother Leon...
                                                     She has come on so well since the surgery and is gaining weight ..If only they had found out what was wrong before. But at least it is sorted now.
                                              They sent mum pictures of fun in the sun today..
                                        Have a great weekend everyone.. Much love GJ xx
