Meelee and the Very Bad Night
Meelee has unfortunately had another bad episode. She does well for about a month at a time, and then her entire system rebels. Last night she was violently throwing up and had diarrhea as well as somehow being constipated. This is the same problem she’s had for over 2-years now, but especially in the past 4-months. Last night was really bad for her.
In June she had a bad episode but was able to rebound. Then in July she had another episode and didn’t eat for 6 days before rebounding. This time… I just don’t know if she’s going to make it.
She has moved down to the basement which is never a good sign. I gave her some fluids and some pain medication last night, and I’m picking up other medications for her tonight, in case she wants to rally and give it a try again.
But I also told her it was just fine if she was done trying.
UPDATE: She’s hanging in there! She came up from the basement to greet me tonight. Not eating yet… but she is definitely feeling better than she was when I left her this morning. She may have one life left in her yet. We’ll see.

Oh Tiff….at least you saw her move down to the basement. That is where I found Savior after searching for him for over a day.
Oh how I hate this.
I’ll be praying for you and sweet Melee.
At least she is with her family. All your Flickr friends care.
Oh sweet Meelee girl…… I wish you could live forever. You look very sad laying there but you’re still such a beauty.
I’d give you a hug if I could (or a bottle of wine if you preferred).
Sorry to hear that Meelee had another bad episode. You give her such excellent support. Thinking and praying for you both at this tough time.
My very best wishes for you at this juncture, Tiff. Meelee has been a firecracker all these years and now she is tired. I hope the transition is smooth and easy for her. Please tell her you (and we all) love her — that’s all she the reassurance she needs to move on to a peaceful place where she doesn’t have to struggle episode after episode. Our hearts are with the both of you whichever road she wants to take.
sigh… you have my thoughts and prayers, it’s so hard to lose a beloved friend.
Poor Meelee –
I know what I would do if it were me.
Meelee – you let go if you gotta. Your mama will be ok…
((((hugs))))
So sorry to hear that Meelee’s feeling poorly. I hope she feels better. She’s had a great life with you and you’ve cared for her so well. It’s so hard when our critters aren’t well.
Rebound soon, Meelee!
Thank you merciful Buddha. Please watch over our dear friend Meelee and her wonderful mommy.
Poor, poor kitty. I’m really happy I read the other post first. I’m glad she’s still hanging in there.
I hope it was just a ‘bad hair’ day Meelee, we all have them from time to time.
Hang in there a little while longer if you can, I don’t think I’m ready for your departure (or anyone else for that matter). Sending good thoughts and I’ll keep your sweet girl in my prayers.
I will save a special prayer for Meelee. Hang in there, sweetheart.
My best wishes to Meelee, I hope she is able to hang in there.
