Absolutely not farthing - nuts, I mean. I understand how you feel about Jimmy, you've explained it well enough. All I can say is you will know when Jimmy has had enough and you will let that guide you. I had heard people say that before and didn't understand what they meant but I knew when my lovely old Merlin was just fed up with it all. You understand completely that you have to let him go when he wants it, and not be persuaded by what others think. |

Angie is right. When we are one-to-one with the cat we care for; whether we have known that cat for 20 years or 20 weeks there is something that tells us when they don't want to fight any more. Whilst you owe it to Jimmy to give him every opportunity to gain strength and recover, you know probably better than anyone, that when their time is up . . . it's up to you to help him to a better place. Keep fighting for him but keep an open mind; and that is the best we can do for them. |

Jimmy is looking much brighter today and is hovering by the bathroom door whenever I go into the hall. He has brought up food once today, but I can feel he needs to go, so later on I will give him an enema. I was rather touched this afternoon, but he came and rubbed against me, it doesn't sound much but he has never done that before. He will respond if you give him cheek rubs, but generally he is the most introverted cat I've ever met, I am amazed that he has shown any kind of emotion and rather touched by it. |

Sorry I've not been on much, things have gone a bit mad here, but just thought I'd let you know how Jimmy was doing. He is now on oral zantac and has been for about a week, he has stopped being sick and is eating small amounts every 3 or so hours. I have NOT helped him pooh since before the weekend but he is obviously going because he doesn't feel bunged and would have been sick by now if he was. I don't know if this will continue or if he will go backwards again, but I'm hopeful and i'll be interested to see if he has put on weight on the 27th when he gets his acupuncture. |
