One Can Never Have Too Many Mousies!

Latest Update On Our Furiend, Sammy!

Our darling little furiend, *SAMMY* is still in the hospital receiving oxygen, triple the Lasix shots but no IV fluids. Sammy is also tinkling a lot which is normal from a result of the fluids which he received yesterday. Lasix shots will also cause a lot of pee pees because it's releasing the fluids from the heart and surrounding area. This is also a good sign as it shows that the IV fluids are exiting his body. With Cardiomyopathy, it is purrry important not to have a lot of fluids as it could and most likely will lead to heart failure. Unfortunately he still shows bad Pulmonary Edema at the moment (arteries carrying blood from the heart to the lungs). The heart is thickening seen in another x-ray which is what HCM does. Sammy perked up when he saw his meowmy and she even brushed him, which he seemed to have a positive response. His mom also put blankets on him while still on oxygen and he nuzzled his little face inside. When she returned to the room, he was still snuggled contently inside of the blankets. Sammy is finally getting rest and being on the oxygen is helping him to breathe better which makes him feel more comfy. Of course, he is still in critical condition so please continue to keep him and his meowmy in your purrayers. We are keeping our paws crossed that this little guy responds to his medications and will pull through this ordeal. His meowmy has been doing such a wonderful job and my mom has been there every step of the way to do whatever she can to help auntie Lauren through this. If anyone has experience with Cardiomyopathy, it's our meowmy since this is what I suffered from and it's so unfair and such a progressive disease. We are so proud of auntie Lauren fur being such a pawsome mom and fur being there when her baby needs her most. She knew what to do as soon as Sammy was showing declining signs, last night. Mom just wishes that she lived closer so that she could be there physically fur auntie and fur Sammy but she is with them in thought and she's only a phone call away.

Thanks again fur all of your love, support, purrrs & purrayers that you have shown Sammy and his family...

ANOTHER UPDATE: We also received disturbing news that our close furiend, *HOOCH* was diagnosed with Hyperthyroidism (Overactivity of the Thyroid Gland). He began throwing up so his meowmy took him to the vet's which there is where she received this upsetting news. Please stop by to send Hooch your purrrs & purrayers and to let his meowmy, auntie Joann know that you're thinking of them. Feel better soon Hooch and we love you purrrry much!


Purrrrs!
