Sadness Oliver Crossed the Rainbow from FIP

6 As many of you know, I got an adorable baby boy (kitten) who ended up having so many health problems. If you don’t know I will catch you up. In May of 2017, my 16 year old cat Jakie passed away from cancer. You may not believe it or not but I have a pet communicator, Judy Ramsey. She amazing. Jakie told her he wants to come back in a year. I was so excited. Well around April 2019 I called Judy to find out if Jakie is ready to come back and he said, ”Yes.” I had to find a kitten who was around 1-4 weeks old. A friend of mine fosters orphaned baby kittens. They just got a bunch in. They sent me some pictures of them and Jakie picked the one he wanted to go in. Second time we saw him. I scheduled a time to see him. He is sooo tiny and adorable. I couldn’t wait to take him home. Finally, the end of July I got to take him home. I knew this was Jakie because Faith kept hissing at Trixie when we brought her home. When we brought Oliver aka Jakie home Faith ran over to

Oliver the Kitten Scares us Grinding Teeth

Oliver, our 6-month-old kitten who has been diagnosed with FIP, gave my mom and me a heart attack around 12:00 am. It was time to give him a huge regime of medications and supplements.  We have been having a harder time getting him to take the pill. We stick it in one of those squeezable treats for cats. Eventually, he caught on to us putting a pill in the squeezable and will spit it out. I thought let's try putting the antibiotic and the pill together. We bought a pill crusher thinking it would be easier for him to get it down and easier to hide it into his treats too. Well, it didn't work. I usually give Oliver the pill first and then do the antibiotic, but this is the first time trying to do both together. Nope, it didn't work. The next thing I knew he was acting like he was choking. There is no way there was anything he could choke on.  When he allowed me to look in his mouth I didn't see anything. I called our local ER Vet. Vet Tech: Is he looking like he

Devastating News About Oliver the Kitten

I would be lying if I said I am doing well. On September 6th I had to take Oliver back to the vet again He was doing so well and was thinking he might not even have  Feline Infectious Peritonitis  (FIP.)  His blood work didn't look very bad when I took him on August 29th. His WBC was low and his proteins were elevated, but for a FIP kitty, he looked very well.  My vet, Dr. Burns, couldn't see him, but they were able to fit me into another vet's schedule. Oliver hasn't lost any weight. He actually gained a pound. He is now 6.9 pounds. I thought maybe he was having fluid retaining in his belly because he seemed a little hard like when Jakie had cancer and it filled up in his belly. Dr. Miller listened to his breathing. He said there is fluid sounds on his lungs, but his stomach and intestines sound and feel fine. He decided we should do an x-ray.  I was totally fine with that.  Oliver did an amazing job.  Fifteen minutes later and Dr. Miller came back into the room

Oliver My Five Month Old Kitten Might Be Dying From A Common Respiratory Virus

My life is hitting me hard with so many negative things, but I never expected God to hit me this hard.  As you know from my previous post about my adoption of Oliver and him having to deal with severe diarrhea due to parasites and then an upper respiratory infection.  A couple of weeks ago we took him for his booster shots. After receiving the booster shots he started to sneeze a lot. We read that booster shots can cause cats to sneeze a lot, so we were blaming his sneezes on the shots.  Two weeks later, I came home from work around 5:30 pm to find him acting so strange. He wasn't his playful self. He still had an appetite. He had a little crusty stuff on his eyes. A huge red flag that something was seriously wrong was when I saw him on his perch shivering and looking very lethargic. When I petted him or pick him up he will cry in pain. Oliver loves being petted and picked up, so this was another red flag that something is seriously wrong with my boy.  My mom and I immediat

I got my Cat Jakie Punkin Back from Heaven

In May of 2018, Jakie Punkin, my 16 years old cat, passed away from cancer. He went in for his yearly teeth cleaning to getting a call saying the reason why is nose is always crusty isn't due to teeth it is due to jaw cancer. They gave him only 2 weeks to live.  I didn't believe them since they told me I would only have him for 1-3 years when we found out he had liver problems and cysts near his eyes.  I turned to the interest. I found some amazing products. and put him on Rescue Remedy for Pets, and CBD oil made for pets. I immediately went online trying to figure out how to slow cancer down. He was eating, playing and cuddling, so he wasn't in a lot of pain. I ended up calling a pet psychic Judy. She guided me through the process by telling me how he is doing. I learned he wanted to he wants to die to at home and not at the vet.  He told me he wants to come back but needs a year or so to recover after having a body that wasn't working right for a very long time
