Her vet called on Saturday to let me know the blood test results were back and all her levels look very good. Her calcium is also within the normal range, but that could also be due to the supplement she had taken before the blood was drawn. What is important now is to keep her on her meds and supplements and strict cage rest. I try to alleviate her boredom by taking her for "walks" while she sits in her potty. She says hello to all her furblings, she sits with me while we watch TV and I bring her outside for some sun therapy. She seem happier and actually started to purr again. :)
I think the worst is over, and that Tutu will make a full recovery. Thank you again, for all your purrs, woofs, prayers and positive vibes. I know that definitely helped!
We're sorry for not coming around the last few days, and now that Tutu's recovery is on track, we'll be visiting everyone to say thank you personally.
PS / I'm so glad we went for a second opinion. The first vet made me feel like a total failure and in his words as he looked at her xrays still ring in my ears, "Ohhhhh. Your cat is hypocalcemic and can die anytime!". All these without even suggesting a blood test to confirm his diagnosis. How irresponsible.
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY to all the wonderful mothers out there! :)

| Ohhhh...what a lot of things to see and smell! Tutu getting some sun therapy |
 |
| She put me back in here just as I wanted to go exploring. Spoil sport. :( |
 |
| Maybe if I look cute she'll let me out? |
 |
| How about now? |
 |
| No? Still nothing? Dang, she's strict As much as I can restrict her movements outside the cage, I cannot stop her from rolling around in the cage. I suppose she would know not to do it if it hurts. So to see her this way just means she feels better (she couldn't do this yesterday without crying) |

Good news!
Best wishes Molly
Fabulous news!
I am so glad
Oh, litter box output on her own and without Valium is the BEST news! Continued purrs for little Tutu as she recovers, and a happy Mother's Day to you too, for being such a wonderful and amazing caretaker!
Oh TuTu we are so excited that you are feeling better. We are so GLAD your Mom took you to another vet. There are a lot of vets that are Dr.Dooms. They are not any fun at all. And what a good girl to poo and pee on your very own. That is so exciting. A very Happy Mother's day to that very special Mom of yours TuTu. Take care and don't do any fancy tricks.
Tutu darling little baby girl, I could NOT be happier to read this and you gave your mommy a PURRFECT Mother's Day present! Keep on getting better precious little one and we will all be purring for you. Love you very much.
Tell your mommy that me and my mommy said Happy Mother's Day. <3<3<3
Great news!! Happy MOther's Day to you!
Happy Mother's Day Mom of Tutu!
Oh my gosh, that vet sounded awful. I know what you mean about getting a second opinion. I had changed my vet because of the positive prognosis he gave without even further doing any more tests. He simply assumed it was poison when we pretty much knew that it was parvo.
I am happy for Tutu's sake.

We're so happy to hear Tutu is doing better! We're purring that she heals quickly and can get out of her cage soon.
Oh darling Tutu, it is such a joy to see you feeling good enough to eat, and purr, and poop, and roll around in your adorable kittenish way! You have a MOST EXCELLENT mom who is taking the best care of you! In the US, today is Mother's Day and we are sending purrs to all of you!
So happy to read that Tutu is doing well!! Yay!!! Keep getting better please little one! Take care

We're so happy that Tutu is doing so much better! We're so relieved you went to the 2nd vet too since that first one should never have given such a doomsday diagnosis without being 100% positive. Plus he obviously didn't understand the power of the purr! We hope Tutu keeps improving so quickly and our mommy wants you to snorgle that cute Tortie tummy for her! :)
Such a cutie Tutu is fur sure! I am so happy she is doing some better. Happy Mother's Day to you and to Moms everywhere!
I'm so glad that little Tutu is feeling better. As the peep always says, if the plumbing is working, all is well. purrs
This indeed is good news! You are a fighter, Tutu! And adorable one, too:)
Unfortunately, we have incompetent vets here as well... they dare make terrible diagnosis without proper tests... more than irresponsible!
Wishing you a Very Happy Mother's Day from all of us at the Katnip Lounge! We think you are just such a fabulous Cat Mama...give Tutu some HUGE smoochies for us.
Tutu is so sweet!
Have a great Mother´s day!

Dear Tu tu
So furry happy to see u feeling better!! Keep it up!!
Tutu, we are very happy to read that you are feeling better. Please rest up as much as you can to give yourself the best chance of healing. We know this is hard for a kitten, but have every faith in you!
Thank goodness Tutu is improving - but it must be a nightmare trying to restrict her playfulness. We are so pleased you got an opinion from your vet which was proved to be right.
Luv and purrs Hannah and Lucy xx xx
What a beautiful girl! So glad she's on the mend.
And that you found a better vet...
That's very good news ! she looks so adorable. Some vets are really butchers ! I met someone like that too, only a moneymaker ! I took my cat said to him what I thought and slammed the door behind me !
THis brings us many smiles. Yeah Tutu.
We love you
Bert and My Vickie
Oh, we've just now been reading about sweet TuTu. We are so sorry you've had to go through this but incredibly happy to hear you sought out a second opinion and that TuTu is on the road to recovery! Such a sweetie...she's just adorable.
(((purrs)))

Oh I am so happy to hear Tutu is getting better!! Perfect pee and poo...that sure is the best present! I breaks my heart to hear her small body is in pain, so I am very happy she is feeling less pain. She is really a trooper. It's wonderful that you take her for ''walks'' like that. Your loving care makes a world if difference.
The first vet sounds aweful. I have two clinics I go and always ask a 2nd opinion if I feel uncomfortable with the 1st opinion. We are glad you went for a second opinion too. We wish Tutu's fast recovery and hope she can enjoy exploring soon!
YAY Tutu!!!
