3/2 Doodles AMPS 156 PMPS 304 +4 376/ Bad coughing - hydrocodone given

[Doodles & Karen]

Doodles 3/1 Very glad yesterday is over. The boy was miserable and I could hardly function with worry. He seems a little better so far today and part of that is for sure his numbers being back on earth. Now we'll see if he can surf or not. With him being so cranky about testing these days it will kill me to have to poke him excessively.

Surf safely kitties.

Looks like the increase is doing it's job and I hope that Doodles doesn't dive on you and you need to poke him a lot today. Sending you hugs Karen as you deal with all of this day after day. I don't know how you do it.

 

[Judy and Boomer]

Nice to see you back in blue Doodles! But please stop being cranky with your mama bean! She's only trying to make sure you stay safe!
Karen, I'm happy to hear he's feeling a bit better today!

 

[carfurby (GA)]

Nice to see that blue this morning. I hope today is a better day for you and Doodles. Sending prayers.

 

[Adrian and Chino]

Looks like he's off to a great start! Come on, Doodles, show Chino how it's done!

Is he motivated by certain treats in particular? When I've been giving Chino one of his favorites, he actually gets excited when he hears me opening the box of lancets or the vial of test strips.

 

[Bronx's dad (GA)]

nice start for the day

 

[Doodles & Karen]

Is he motivated by certain treats in particular

No, he's not a food motivated cat and doesn't get treats but I'll usually give him a tbsp. of food or it's around his meal time anyway. It's out of character for Doodles to be this cranky. He's a gentle sweet big boy and has been through hell the last 2 years. Hopefully he'll get back to himself soon.

 

[Carol & Murphy (GA)]

Hopefully he'll get back to himself soon.

I really hope so, Karen

 

[Lincolns Mom]

oh Doodles why the cranky pants??? hopefully you feel real better for mama bean soon

 

[Mandarin'sMom]

Doodles, you better be nice to your bean and start showing your appreciation. ...and we have all see you surf, so we know you can do it. I've heard it's like riding a bike, just hop on the board and you'll know what to do.

 

[Doodles & Karen]

I was out this afternoon for an hour or so on the bike and felt like I needed to go home. When I got home and checked on Doodles a few minutes after he had a horrible coughing spell. I broke down and gave him 1.25mg of the hydrocodone the cardiologist prescribed him back in December with his dinner. Good news he ate pretty good but how terrible to see his whole little body practically convulsing during the coughing spell.

Once again when I got dressed with jeans and "outside" cloths the boy got paranoid and scurried under the bed. He doesn't want to go back to the vetty and not sure I'll be taking him. His next cardio appointment is March 28th so we'll see how it goes. There is nothing "good" that they are going to tell us so why bother anymore.

I hope the hydrocodone helps.

 

[Judy and Boomer]

Oh Karen I'm sorry to hear that the Doodles had another coughing spell! I hope the hydrocodone helps him.

 

[Mandarin'sMom]

Oh, Karen, that just sounds so scary. I hope the hydrocodone helps.

[carfurby (GA)]

Sending prayers.

 

[Ella & Rusty & Stu(GA)]

Sending Doodles anti-coughing vines and lots of good thoughts and prayers. I hope the medicine works and that he will be more comfortable. Is it possible that he has a hairball and that could be complicating his coughing?

Hugs and scritches,

 

[Wendy&Neko]

Sending clear lungs vines for Doodles and these for you.

 

[Bobbie And Bubba]

Oh God, Karen... I feel for you. I know all too well how scary those episodes are. How is he doing now after the hydrocodone? Any update? Praying for relief and easy breathing for Doodles... and for you. Like I've said in the past, when he breathes better... I'll breathe better. Sending oh so many vines my friend.

 

[DebG]

Oh Karen I am so sorry Doodles is not doing well. Those coughing episodes are unbearable to watch you feel so helpless. My heart is breaking for you.
