I plan to call the vet tomorrow morning to
ask what can be done to comfort
her arthritis.


Ask your vet about Adequan injections. I did some research on this
treatment and talked a couple of my petsitting clients that have
arthritic cats into trying it. They both are extremely happy with the
outcome of this treatment. One has a 22 year old Siamese and this girl
has done a complete turnaround since she's been getting the treatments,
has much better mobility, and is back to her sassy old self.

"Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one
elementary truth the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and
splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then
providence moves too. A whole stream of events issues from the decision,
raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents, meetings and
material assistance, which no man could have dreamt would have come his
way."

- W.H. Murray

Update on Meetoo and her possible arthritis problem.:
The vet recommended Cosequin for a few weeks to see how she responds. If
the Cosequin's not effective, some kind of pain meds may help. We started the
Cosequin today.
Meetoo also had a blood test done and the results will come tomorrow. The
vet suggested that anemia can be a problem with cats who have renal failure,
thus causing her to be sluggish/lethargic. (Meetoo already receives fluids
daily.)
I'll continue to update when I get the test results tomorrow.
Thank you everyone for responding to my post. I appreciate it so much. I get so
upset when I suspect Meetoo isn't feeling well.
She seems ok for the time being.
