I'm changin my post now since my papaw is home and feeling better now. This thread is for anyone to use and post their own requests. Lux took my post from another thread and made this a separate thread just for that reason. Please do not hesitate to make requests cause you might be surprised at the support you will get from the loungers!!
Here is my original request...
Sorry I know this is off-topic but there seem to be some religious people in here right now.
Please say a prayer for my grandfather cause my mom just called and said he just called her and she is taking him to the emergency room. He is having pains (chest, I believe). It scares me cause he had a heart attack last summer and then a 5 bypass surgery. So now I'm heading to meet them at the hospital. Thanks!

To answer your question, so far, yes. If it wasn't for him going blind suddenly, everything else seems normal for him. Energy level, appetite, bathroom stuff, eating/drinking, temperament.
I took in his urine sample this morning. Good and bad. Showed he does have a UTI, which was actually good. They can start him on antibiotics (2 times a day for 2 weeks, he's not great with pills but doing my best. He did good this morning once I was able to pry his mouth open, lol). They said the antibiotics will help with the UTI, could possibly help with his kidneys...if the cyst is a product of infection, it *could* help that, and there is a very very slight possibility it could help with his eye sight. Dr. isn't hugely hopeful about that but there is a possibility.
The results also showed that he is for sure in renal failure. So he's gotta be on special food for the rest of his life that could help...not sure if he'll eat it but I'm hoping he will. My other cat (named Cat)...he has FIV and has to be on a high protein diet. Lightning needs to be on a low protein diet so I'm gonna have to figure out how to keep them from eating each others foods.
The cyst...the Dr. said we can't biopsy it (because it's liquid, it's like a water balloon and would just pop). She said if he was younger they'd just remove it but since he's about 19, the surgery would probably have more threat. So it could be the product of a cancerous tumor that's hiding behind it but we can't remove it to find out. Right now, he's 12.8 pounds, she couldn't stop talking about how great his coat looks, he eats a bunch, still active, etc. So at the moment, while he has kidney failure, it doesn't appear as though it's at end stage yet. In theory anyway. So for the moment we are treating his UTI and then after that stabilizes, we're gonna go farther and look at other stuff. He has a possibility of a brain tumor (based on other things) but even if he does, since he's so old, it can't be removed. At the moment, we're working on making him as comfortable as he can be until it gets to the point where it gets bad enough.
Problem is, we're in the process of moving 4 1/2 hours away. So I'm trying to work with his issues now, and they said not to stress him out...but such a long drive and the move are obviously going to stress him out. I'm just at a loss for all that. But I don't need to deal with that tonight so for tonight, I'm just gonna focus on getting him his meds and stuff.
Try using 'Pill Pockets' or 'Pill-masker' for any oral meds you have to give him. Some cats love them, some not so much, ask your vet if they have some free samples you can try. I preferred the 'Pill-Masker' brand as it's a little tub of the stuff and you can shape it around the pill to cover the yucky smell of the pill. The cats seem to like it better too. The pill pockets are good for dogs but a bit big for cats to swallow. You can find both at Petco or Petsmart. Amazon has it but as an add on to another order.

As for the move, if your cat gets stressed in the car, ask the vet about a pill for traveling, they do this with pets that are flying, it keeps them from stressing out during travel.
He had a major surgery and strokes last year and I have cared for him and nursed him back to health as much as I can, but I need to move him into my living room as they are foreclosing on his house so we can pool our money together save and then move to Tennessee where my family is. I need prayers for energy and strength to move him here and find good SD's as I sell the items on Craigslist to make some extra money and then move to Tennessee. I really struggle with chronic pain which is exhausting and am looking forward to having a real family for the first time in my life. I would appreciate your prayers and I would be honored to return the favor for every post I see here. I appreciate all of you and SD's as It has enabled me to live better on my small fixed income and gives me something fun and productive to do from my bed. I thank all of you for the funny comments I read and the smiles I get every day I am on here!
My dear friend lost her daughter yesterday, to complications of Lupus. She was 47.
Another friend (that I've mentioned before), is 33 and has Stage IV cervical cancer. She isn't responding to treatment and is experiencing lots of horrible side-effects. She has a 6 yr old daughter, watching all of this.
My 94 yr old FIL, is really fading away. It's scary to watch and heart-breaking because he's in much pain. He's having great difficulty getting up and down. . I know he's very tired and is really close to giving up.
If you could spare a little time in your day for these folks, I would so appreciate it.

I have a cat who is paralyzed and he had chronic UTI's for a few years until I found this...he has not had another one in 3 years now..I used it as directed then weaned it down over 6 months to once a week and now I don't even need it anymore. I do make his own food which is way cheaper and better for him in the long run as the Urinary tract care food s are expensive. I will give you the recipe if you want it too...Now all 3 of my cats eat it and NO more vets bills..none! The product is on Amazon but their website has buy 2 get 1 free which is the best deal for continued use. I am praying for you all and happy to help. Just PM me.
Take Care Sweetie,

Ps be sure to give him probiotics to replace the ggod ones the antibiotics kill. I use this and for years and I will never turn back..it is amazing..It is on Amazon as well but their company has better deals on their website.

Here is the review I wrote about it.....so you can see how much it helps

I'm definitely going to try the probiotics after I make sure it's ok with the vet (I'm sure it will be).
I was actually wondering about making my own food for him. He is ok with the renal failure food but doesn't really love it. While he still is hungry and eating, I want to make sure he's eating a bunch. Most of the recipes I've looked up require something to crunch up bones to make a bone powder to add to his food. If that's something that'll help, I'll get it. Except for being mostly blind, he's mostly a pretty happy guy and I'd like to keep him that way for as long as I can.
Thank you
I'm so sorry about Lightning Autumn, I completely understand and can relate. My cat died of kidney failure and was blind off and on for the last few months of her life. I later found out that with kidney failure they often have high blood pressure that can lead to blindness, has she been checked for hbp? Also,has her potassium level been checked? And i care, too
agree that cats on antibiotics need probiotics, Fortiflora is good and they generally love the taste.
Thank you

My young friend is dying. There is nothing that can be done for her. They are sending her home with meds to keep her comfortable. It will only be a short time, as she can't eat. We are hoping she makes it home, as her treatment center is four hours away.

I have no words that even sound like comfort for such a horrible situation. Life can be so unfair.
