Takoda’s blood tests came back from his annual blood exam visit and his organ function is good but his infection fighting skills have decreased , probably from his irritable bowel disorder I’m going to start him on B-12 injections because my vet said it can’t hurt him. She’s also going to call in an ultrasound referral to my other vet, who has an ultrasound Dr. on premises 1 or 2x per week, as I’m concerned that he may possibly have cancer due to IBD, which hopefully since he hasn’t been officially diagnosed with IBD, the insurance hopefully will cover it. 🙏🙏🙏Either way I want to know one way or the other if he possibly has cancer and if he does hopefully it will be caught early and is treatable. I’d rather be proactive with his health than increase my PTSD, from saying goodbye to one more fur child. 4 in the past 14 months and 7 in the past 4 years was more than sufficient. It’s tough enough that it would have been Kalina’s 1year gotcha day this past May 3rd and she’s gone and May 19 was Morgaine’s 21st heavenly birthday and tomorrow is Spirit’s 4th heavenly birthday. My heart is already heavy with grief and memories of those I’ve said good bye to, I’m not ready to have to say goodbye bye to my Takoda anytime soon. Prayers to all those especially Bernie who are grieving the loss of a beloved pet. May all grieving feel God’s loving healing embrace.

Annie update: my sweet gentle soul is gone. I took her for the endoscopy on Tuesday thinking we may finally get to the bottom of her diarrhea problem. Two hours after I dropped her off at the vet, my phone rang. “There’s been a complication.” They had just started the procedure and hadn’t reached the area to get tissue samples when the probe punctured her bowel. The tissue was thin and more deteriorated than expected. Prognosis for repair was very poor. Only one other option. I requested they take the samples they hadn’t gotten to so I could know what caused the issue. They opened her and found multiple other tears and deterioration along the organs which might have ruptured and gone septic at some point. I brought her home so that Andy could see and sniff her before I took her for cremation. On Monday night she made multiple trips to the litter box which had become normal behavior for her and on the last trip she left a large puddle of very foul smelling diarrhea on the bathroom floor, it unmistakably smelled of blood. I can only imagine that her bowel must have been so badly damaged for this to have gone so wrong. Today would have been her second gotcha day.

HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY to all of you wonderful pet mothers💕💕
I hope you enjoy a lovely, loving weekend with your babies. Toni

Kaylanee went for her recheck from her dental surgery on April 9, last Thursday April 30 and was told her mouth was looking good and that she healed well. She will however have to have her teeth regularly checked, due to the tooth autoimmune disease, that she has which causes the tooth/root to self absorb. I’m just happy that her quality of life has improved tremendously since I adopted her almost 3 months ago. She is such a sweet loving little girl, who especially likes to lay on me or next to me under the covers, when I go to bed at night. I’m so thankful, that I chose to adopt her, even with all the debt she’s put me in with all her health issues. I hope everyone else is doing well. Bernie, how are your cats doing? Diane how is Lincoln doing and how are you doing? Praying for everyone and their beloved pets.
