Vibes please

Murphy the Magnificent, my first cat and currently the apple of my parents' eye, has been rushed to cat hospital after 48 hours of basically not eating and 12 hours+ of not drinking - and diagnosed with severe diabetes. He is currently in overnight critical care being monitored hourly, with his blood sugar at six times normal for a cat.

Please think good thoughts. He deserves them.

UPDATE
They managed to halve his sugar levels overnight in intensive care, sometimes dropping as low as 200. This morning he was returned to the regular vet where the sugar levels as of this morning dipped as low as 130. He is still not drinking (and is on IV fluids) but apparently he's eaten a little solid something, which is good. But now there's apparently a secondary infection that they're dealing with, and he isn't out of the woods yet.

Thank you, everybody. It all helped, I"m sure. The weight of goodwill is never easy for bad times to bear. I thank you. Murph thanks you.

Oh God. Oh no. Oh, I am so sorry. Prayers started for Murphy.

With terrible timing, a funnybook was sent out to you this week. No need to look at it until the spirit moves.

Warm, sugar-balancing thoughts send Murphyward.

Many good thoughts from me and our three cats.

Many good thoughts. It's terrible and scary, but if it helps:

We had a diabetic cat; when we found out, his blood sugar was through the roof, too, but after a couple of months of insulin shots, we could control it just with diet. He stayed with us several years more. Here's hoping your Murphy can do the same. Courage.

Oh, poor Murphy! Sending lots of hope and good thoughts for him.

Oh, poor Murphy. :( I hope they can do something for the blood sugar levels.

I'm sending supportive vibes for the poorly kitty, you and your parents.

Sending lots of good vibes for Murphy, and for your family as well. I've had 2 diabetic cats....one is still with me. Cats can survive amazingly high blood glucose levels before one even realizes something is wrong. Hopefully, with the right insulin and some diet changes, they will get things under control. Please keep us updated...

Piper and I send our best.

Best wishes! He's in my thoughts!

More good thoughts for Murphy. Hope there's good news soon.

[morvenwestfield.livejournal.com]

Kitty strength and an extra life for Murph. Many cats pull out of diabetic crises. May Murph be one!

Good thoughts from us and our feline household.

[mareklamo.livejournal.com]

Yeah, what he said! Poor kitty. My sister-in-law's cat is diabetic but has adjusted fine to being poked with needles everyday. Hope Murphy is better soon.

Good thoughts to Murphy the Magnificent.

[david-de-beer.livejournal.com]

that's horrible to hear.

good vibes sent your way over the net-ether.

[wild-patience.livejournal.com]

I'm so sorry. Good thoughts are headed your way. We got our cats' blood results yesterday. Pippin the Pudge has elevated blood glucose. He's not diabetic yet, but the vet said that if we don't get the weight off of him, he will be, so this is all the more reason to be a meanie and deny him his food. I hate to do it, but I don't want him to be like your sweet Murphy. (The cat is basically a fur-covered slug. I don't think it's that he eats too much; he moves too little. He gets no exercise. When I try to play with him and get him to jump, he just wants to be petted.)

Good thoughts on the way!!!
