Gwyn and her Aunt Allie
Thanks for all the sweet comments on little Gwyn. She is a darling little girl who brightens up her nana's life. The above photo is of her and her buddy, Hugo. They really love each other and he is always by her side.
She visited again today and we had lots of fun. Her favorite thing to do is play with our pots with a wooden spoon. *bang, bang, crash, boom*I received results from Lily's blood test yesterday.Life is about to change for our sweet Lil. She has been diagnosed with pancreatitis. It is chronic at this stage and I'm not really sure what to say right now. She will be on new low-fat food, both soft and dry.
Pancreatitis is an inflammation of the pancreas that alters the organs normal function and structure.
She is not in pain from what we can see and eating well again so her vet has suggested that we just carry on getting a B12 shot twice monthly and see how she does. It can go one way or the other at her age especially. Please keep her in your thoughts while we see how things develop in the next little while. She seems content and she cuddles up with one of us whenever the opportunity presents itself. Lots of TLCC (tender-loving cat care) is needed for her now.
hugs, Deb
My oldster, Emily, suffered from pancreatitis. The vet took her off tuna and wanted her on a bland diet. Her discomfort decreased and she was fine after a couple of weeks. But she could never have her favorite tuna cat food again which she thought was a terrible price to pay! Sending healing thoughts.
ReplyDeletePoor Lil. She's in good hands with you, Deb.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry Lily is going through this. She is lucky to have you to care for her. Sending plenty of warm thoughts Lily's (and yours) way.
ReplyDeleteShe's with the perfect family for lots of good TLCC

Always so hard to know how to help an elderly cat--when to realize that the kinder thing is to end their life. I'm sure you will do the very best for Lily--we have two dear old ladies [16 years old] for whom life is a bit fragile--as long as they can eat and seem to enjoy being with us we'll do what we reasonably can.
ReplyDeleteSweet Lily, this will be change for her but she is in the best of hands and will be given lots of love and snuggles. That Gwyn is a doll baby! Your children do make the prettiest babies (well next to mine of course:) Hugs, Linda
ReplyDeleteThe best of luck to Lily. Her loving home and family will be her best medicine.
ReplyDeleteHopefully Lily responds to that treatment quite well.
ReplyDeleteGwyn's looking adorable as ever!
Hopefully Lily will respond well to a change in diet. It's ALWAYS better to at least know what the ailment is. I know you will give her extra TLC.
ReplyDeleteI'm keeping dear Lily in my heart. It's so difficult to know that thing are changing but I also know she is being loved and looked after in the best possible way. That may not make it easier for you, but certainly for her. I know you know to cherish every moment. They are special. Sending hugs.
ReplyDeleteAm keeping Lily and you in my thoughts and prayers.
ReplyDeleteLovely photographs, as always. I am so sorry to hear about Lily and hope that her time left with you can be wonderful for you both despite this difficulty. She is lucky to be with you, someone who understands. x
ReplyDeleteSweet Lily....I know she is being loved and cared for in the best possible way.
