The topic: Miss Elizabeth doesn’t do well in the heat

----------------------------------------------

And we don't know if she'll make it through this summer. Walking is getting tougher for her. She loves being outside, though, and she's actually figured out that just because the screen door is closed, doesn't mean she has to stay in. There's the door in the garage. She gets through the cat door with no problem. Blocking that sent her in search of another way out and she remembered/found the laundry room cat door.

And out she went.

Last week was cloudy and cool, but Thursday that broke up and the heat came in. It was pretty hot yesterday. Miss was under the tractor on her blanket and Brian brought her in yesterday afternoon, very concerned. It was a SubQ day, so I gave her fluids and she ate some watered down A/D. I put her on the bed and brushed her, cleaned her ears (they were horrible) and cleaning her ears relaxed her so much, she peed (which is why I changed the sheets as mentioned in the previous post - we just pulled them off of the bed and slept on the mattress pad).

Brian brought her in an hour or so ago and I brushed her and cut some of her mats off (she's bad again). She ate some more and now she's back on the bed. It's fairly cool in there compared to outside, for sure, and the ceiling fan is on full blast.  I may give her more fluids tonight since she doesn't seem to be drinking much. She's had kidney problems for a while now and she's done much better than we ever expected. But I'll be surprised if she sees twenty-three.
