Lily

We are seeing some improvement in Lily today. She isn't eating much on her own but will take her Critical Care food by syringe and is drinking water and a bit of diluted milk on her own. What has happened to her is still a mystery but we know the heart is weak and cats do get down for reasons similar to our flu. I read a few lines in the used book I bought titled Folk Medicine by D.C.Jarvis. I couldn't sleep so I opened it to a page that had this written..

I have come to marvel at the instincts of animals to make use of natural laws for healing themselves. They know uneeringly which herbs will cure what ills. Wild creatures first seek solitude and absolute relaxation, then they rely on the complete remedies of nature. An animal with fever quickly hunts up an airy, shady place near water, there remaining quiet, eating nothing but drinking often until its' health is recovered. 

Just this quote helped me sleep.
Ed is staying close but not cuddling. I know prayer works. Thank you all so much.

Isn't it amazing how they know what to do. He is so old himself  (25 this coming May) and yet has the wits about him to know what is going on. He's a real treasure.

I am finished now with many clients and starting with new ones. I have diabetic cats, cats on thyroid medicine and cats on diets. I tell ya, even with animals we know that health is everything.

Hope you are having a good Sunday. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your prayers and soothing comments about Lily. She is far from out of the woods but as long as she shows improvement, we will continue to do what needs to be done to hopefully give her a little more time with us,  and Ed.

hugs, Deb.
