Just a quick update here. Mom and I went to my doctor this morning supposedly to let my doctor steal my blood again, but my doctor said to delay it until I finished my antibiotic. That green thing I had to take every morning sucks! Bleh!!! Two more days and I'm done with it. Meow!
I still don't feel well. Mom had to use syringe every now and then to hydrate me. I hardly eat, even when Mom prepares my favorite canned nom. I know Mom is worried sick.
*************************************************
The Mom here...
Sushi lost a lot of weight and continues to. I am worried, but her doctors said they have several cases already of cats with the same issues as Sushi's. Her vet said that two things are most likely the cause of Sushi's lost of appetite - the terrible heat and stress. The weather here in Manila is so hot and humid. We are currently hitting a heat index of 40°C. We're like in an oven. I turn on the aircon at night, but during the day I only have the fan on. I put ice pack on Sushi to keep her cool. She does eat but not much. I can already feel her ribs when I carry her. I make sure though that she is well hydrated to refrain from further health problems. I guess we have to wait till the rainy season arrives. By then, we will have to deal with the flood and the storm. Oh boy...
Please continue to include Sushi in your prayers. I will surely update you once her doctor gives her the go signal for another follow up blood test. Thank you and God bless you all!
Sushi just wants to snuggle with me all the time. Such a sweetie...
Sushi, please eat something! What about a broth? Would that be enticing? Purrrhaps an IV feeding at home? We know that might be a lot for your Mom to do, but it might get you through this terrible time.
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to eat my canned food. Still not much but I'm beginning to eat often now. I don't want IV but I know Mom will let me have that if needed.
DeleteOh I didn't know about Sushi. I know now and I will add every purr I have to help. I am so so so sorry that is happening and I pray that all will be well. <3
ReplyDeleteThank you, Katie. Thank you for all the purrs.
DeleteWe are all sending purrs and prayers to you beautiful Sushi. Update us when you can sweetie.
ReplyDeleteWill remind Mom to give my furiends an update. Thank you for the purrs.
DeleteOh Sushi you poor thing! That is very hot indeed!! Sending lots of loud purrs and mummy will be praying too for a miracle to make you eat again! xoxo
ReplyDeleteThank you Austin for the purrs and thanks to your Mommy too for the prayers.
DeletePurrs for Sushi. Maybe a haircut would be in order to keep her cooler? Like a cute lion cut?
ReplyDeleteI just had my fur cut. Mom said I look so thin. I feel cooler now.
DeleteSnuggles and Prayers for Sushi,hmm that might be an idea short fur would be cooler,xx Speedy
ReplyDeleteThanks, Speedy.
DeleteSushi, you and Mom Pia look so adorably sweet together. We sure wish you were feeling better. We do hope it is something as simple as heat and humidity that have you not eating. We continue to purr and pray for you as do all your Scout friends. Mau just took his second Botany Test today. He's pretty sure he failed. It was super hard! Please do come by and say, "hi," when you are feeling better. We know everyone would be delighted to see you. Sending all our love, purrs and prayers. XOCK, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo
ReplyDeleteI''m sure Mau passed that test. He's very smart. I'm excited to visit Scouts again. I hope Mom would allow me now, but she said I have to eat normally first and gain a little weight. My uniform will not look good on a thin Sushi. Tee hee...
DeleteGoodness we are purring hard for you and mom Sushi! Please eat and drink as we know how worried the Dad gets if one of us don't take much in for just a day or so. We send love to you Pia as this must be so hard. Have you thought of a lion cut for Sushi while it is so hot? That may be a way to fight the heat!

Timmy Dad and Family
Thank you, Timmy and Dad. Sushi is eating again slowly but I think it's improving.
Deletethat last photo is so precious. I think the heat theory makes a lot of sense. I am a human and can barely tolerate the heat when it is too hot. Let alone being an animal with fur. Do you have a window air conditioning unit you could use and maybe put Sushi in that room?
ReplyDeleteYes, we do. I only turn it on at night. Weather here is so hot!
DeletePoor Sushi, I will add you to my prayer list.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!
DeleteThanks for the update, Sushi. We will keep purring and praying!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!
DeleteWe're purring and praying for Sushi. We sure hope she feels better soon.

We really hope that your appetite will increase very soon and that you will be feeling better again shortly. Lots of love to you and your Mom.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Clooney!
DeleteSushi, we is sending our purrs that you will feel better furry soon. Keep taking those yucky medicines too because they will help you feel better.
ReplyDeleteSasha, Sami, & Saku
Sushi is done with her meds. Thanks for the purrs...
DeleteWe're purring like crazy for Sushi. We hope she starts eating more. We know when it's real hot here, we don't feel much like eating either.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I think she's improving... I hope it continues.
DeleteDear Miss Pia and Sushi......we are praying for you Sushi to continue taking your pills and eat as much as you can and to drink plenty of water. If you're sick from the heat and stress, hopefully when things get better you will gain your weight back and be a happy little girl again! You have a whole lot of friends out here wishing the best for you Sushi - and sending love and hugs too...........
