You know that we all love you!!! Get well - we don't like it when you don't feel good. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/8002/page/2#post-207867 Fri, 25 Jul 2008 18:42:33 +0000 MaxandCali'sMom 207867@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Max says "Mrrrrrrrrrrrrrow" and thank you to everybody who sent him hugs. He is really much better today, he was even watching for me in the window tonight when I got home from work. Molly is still being a little witch! Whenever he gets near her, she growls. So they just kinda keep their distance-no fur flying. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/8002/page/2#post-207486 Fri, 25 Jul 2008 11:17:40 +0000 2bpurring 207486@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Praying for Max </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/8002/page/2#post-207480 Fri, 25 Jul 2008 11:12:05 +0000 GreatDane 207480@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I'm glad to hear Max is feeling better, MMM!</p> <p>Bobby is feeling quite well now and I miss him at the office! I think Milo usually misses having Bobby around (he seems to seek Bob's company more than Bob seeks his) when he goes to work with me, but I think he was abit freaked out after the seizure episode and Bobby coming home and smelling strange and being so lethatgic afterwards. So for the first day or two, I think Milo was fine. When Bobbny and I came home from work on Wednesday and he was feeling better, Milo was so eager to greet him, he stood right in front of the door to the carrier, so I couldn't open it to let Bobby out! When he finally came out, Milo followed him everywhere!</p> <p>I was going to tell Bobby he should take it easy for a little while, but little did I know, apparently he's been sneaking off to Alaska with KW!!!! So he's back to his old traveling self again.</p> <p>Thanks for asking - and hugs to Max! Is Molly being nicer to him now? </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/8002#post-207475 Fri, 25 Jul 2008 11:04:27 +0000 Karenopa 207475@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Awww..Sweet Max..I know how badly I feel when I'm constipated..I sure hope he starts feeling alot better now.

Just emptied the litter box again, and all systems seem to be on go!! Thanks, HM! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/8002#post-207467 Fri, 25 Jul 2008 11:00:10 +0000 HuddysMama 207467@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Awwww poor Max - I hope he's on the road to recovery. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/8002#post-207462 Fri, 25 Jul 2008 10:57:16 +0000 MaxandCali'sMom 207462@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Great Dane-<br /> You were so kind as to inquire about Max this morning, but I selfishly forgot to ask about Bobby! How is he doing? Very well, I hope. Do you think maybe he should stay home with Mama for a while? Perhaps he's getting "travel fatigue"?? LOL! I'm sure he's loving his trips to the office with you. Wish I could take mine, too. Does Mi get jealous when Bob is gone all day, or is he really, really happy to see you guys when you get home?</p> <p>Anyway, hope he has no recurrences of those awful seizures. God bless.</p> <p>Thank you, too, CM for your hugs and good wishes. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/8002#post-207338 Fri, 25 Jul 2008 08:58:09 +0000 cricketsmama 207338@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>((Max)) Poor guy he might have been a bit constipated and he finally got to let one loose.<br /> Scritches and loves to Max </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/8002#post-207337 Fri, 25 Jul 2008 08:57:49 +0000 SoxsMom 207337@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I hope that Max gets a little better now. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/8002#post-207334 Fri, 25 Jul 2008 08:55:42 +0000 MaxandCali'sMom 207334@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Mornin' GD and everyone who's on site this morning!!<br /> Max gave me another scare last night--he was just laying there, no activity at all. I checked the litter box, and there had been deposits, but, of course, I couldn't tell whether they were Max's or Molly's, but there was more than one, so I figured he must have done at least one of them. But he was still acting lethargic. Got up about 5:30 a.m. to check on him and when I looked into the still dark living room, I saw what looked like a dark stream with a glob of something at the end, plus a larger blob a little ways away. So I turned on the hall light-thank goodness the long stream with a glob was a play toy string with a fuzzy ball on the end. The other blob, though, was a tremendous turd!! With the size of it, I think it must have been pretty hard to eliminate it, so when he got the urge, he just let go!! But it was solid, so no mess to clean up. Now he seems pretty happy-he's still a little fatigued from the whole vet thing, but he's sleeping quitely on my lap right now.</p> <p>And thanks to everyone again for their care, thoughts, prayers and hugs!!! Love you all! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/8002#post-207312 Fri, 25 Jul 2008 08:38:51 +0000 GreatDane 207312@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>How's Max doing today, MMM? </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/8002#post-206979 Thu, 24 Jul 2008 16:10:46 +0000 WillowandWindismom 206979@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Willow and Windi send hugs to their buddy, Max. And you're right, MMM - cranberry juice is exactly what we tell people to drink for the acidity. So why not? IF Max will eat those! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/8002#post-206958 Thu, 24 Jul 2008 15:22:33 +0000 MaxandCali'sMom 206958@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Thanks GD, couldn't hurt. They recommend cranberry juice for humans when they have UT problems, so why not cats? </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/8002#post-206946 Thu, 24 Jul 2008 14:50:09 +0000 GreatDane 206946@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Also, I've heard some good things about these:</p> <p><a href="http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=16135" rel="nofollow">http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=16135</a></p> <p>You can find them at PetsMart, Petco etc. as well. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/8002#post-206943 Thu, 24 Jul 2008 14:43:23 +0000 GreatDane 206943@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Could you ask your vet to recommend something? </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/8002#post-206939 Thu, 24 Jul 2008 14:39:42 +0000 SoxsMom 206939@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>If you haven't tried the Purina why not try it? </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/8002#post-206919 Thu, 24 Jul 2008 14:15:29 +0000 MaxandCali'sMom 206919@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>This is Max's second bout with this problem. I'd do anything to help him, but if I can find a less expensive alternative for food, I'm open for suggestions. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/8002#post-206913 Thu, 24 Jul 2008 14:10:48 +0000 SoxsMom 206913@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>MMM I am glad to hear Max could get in bed with you. That probably is a comfort for him as well as you. It is also a good thing he is using the litterbox. I have used Purina. With Max's problem though I have a feeling that it is better to have the food recommended by the vet. This isn't the first time he has had this problem is it? There are others, as you know, that are far better with this type of advice. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/8002#post-206900 Thu, 24 Jul 2008 13:44:18 +0000 MaxandCali'sMom 206900@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Thank you all for your concern-Max is doing much better but he's still kinda slow today. It was so sad last night to watch him try to jump up on a chair or end table to look out the window--he just couldn't do it, he was so doped up. He was determined to get to his food and water, he was so hungry. I couldn't get him to stay put in any of his favorite places. This morning he came up and got on the bed with me, so he's getting better. And he is using the litter box, thank goodness! </p> <p>Haven't noticed too much hostility from Molly today--maybe she realizes that he's sick and is trying to be nice (ya think?)!! I'm trying to give her special time, too.</p> <p>Sheba's Mom-the people at the vet's office were surprised that Dr. Black gave Max the K/D formula-they even called him to make sure that it was right. He said absolutely yes, but I should come in next week and get some of the C/D for use after the K/D was finished. This is prescription stuff, sold only by vets, they said. But it's expensive!! A friend suggested Purina 1 Urinary Tract. Anybody have any experience with Purina? </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/8002#post-206779 Thu, 24 Jul 2008 11:13:14 +0000 GreatDane 206779@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Poor Max! I hope he's better today, MMM!<br /> Bobby smelled bad from the vet, too, and Milo smatked him, but I didn't want to give him a bath since he wasn't well. I went and got some kitty bath wipes and they worked really well. You may even want to wipe down Molly, too, so they smell the same - that could help.<br /> I'm praying for your Max. Hugs to both of you! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/8002#post-206776 Thu, 24 Jul 2008 11:07:35 +0000 SylMiaFelixMomma 206776@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Hope Max continues to get better. Hugs and scritchies to him and Molly and hugs to you. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/8002#post-206774 Thu, 24 Jul 2008 11:02:52 +0000 Karenopa 206774@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Jimmie..How's Max doing today? Is Molly still giving Max the cold shoulder? Still praying for your baby. {{{Hugs}}} </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/8002#post-206763 Thu, 24 Jul 2008 10:50:59 +0000 HuddysMama 206763@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Hugs, well wishes and love to Max. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/8002#post-206758 Thu, 24 Jul 2008 10:46:30 +0000 Sheba's Mom in Phoenix, AZ 10/8 206758@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>That's the food my vet gave Sheba when she had her UTI--it has the medicine in it-very convenient! After he finishes that food he will probably be switched to C/D to maintain. Many of my cats have been on this; my NY vet fed this exclusively to ALL his cats, whether they needed it or not. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/8002#post-206470 Wed, 23 Jul 2008 22:07:47 +0000 AZDEBRA 5/27 & crew 206470@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Wishes and hopes for Max to feeling better soon, poor baby. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/8002#post-206467 Wed, 23 Jul 2008 21:29:36 +0000 feral 206467@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I hope Max gets to feeling his old self again after a good night's sleep. And make sure you get enuf rest as well Jimmie. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/8002#post-206454 Wed, 23 Jul 2008 20:47:26 +0000 CheetahBoysmommy 206454@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>There must be some medication that would prevent stones or crystals from forming in the poor little guy's bladder. If there isn't one, someone should develop it STAT before poor Max has another episode. It must be very painful for him and so worrisome for you. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/8002#post-206452 Wed, 23 Jul 2008 20:42:49 +0000 Buttercup 206452@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I'm glad that Max is feeling better.Please give him scritches for me. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/8002#post-206432 Wed, 23 Jul 2008 20:10:57 +0000 KapitiKats in NZ 206432@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I hope Max gets better soon. Dara sends him a headbonk. Spike sends his usual sniff of disinterest in anything that isn't food or a catbrush. </p>
