Shalom:
Thanks to everyone for their prayers concerning our little Monti. This is day four of his ten days treatment. While the medication has caused some vomiting, we are seeing slow improvements in his health. We did have to take him to the Animal Hospital yesterday because we were concern about his vomiting, but it seems to be the medication.
Monti still needs to get a medical work-up; after all he is 13 years old and like all seniors, he has special health needs. It is our job as his owner to make Montaque's golden years are healthily as well as happy.
I am amazed of how many people who have pets and feel no need to take their dogs or cats to the Vets except for needed shots or flea protection. They feel "it's just an animal" or worse, "Vet hike the prices of pet care and medications to get your money." Pet Co. Pet Supplies and such is good enough.
I can't disagree more. Having a pet is an commitment that includes meeting and caring for its medical needs. I pray for Monti; but just if Mark was ill and needed to see a doctor, I wouldn't just stop at praying, but make sure he got to the doctor. It is the same with Monti.
What is so sweet is now, when Monti hears me praying, he comes over and lays his little head in my lap and closes his eyes.
I think he is praying with me.

Glad to hear Monti is doing better; we always gave Koda his meds after he ate so he had some food in his stomach in case it made him feel a little sick. I agree with you about taking them to the vet, Laini, they need checkups like we do.
How cute Monti is when you are praying; Koda does the same thing and when I finish up praying (since I pray outloud) and end the prayer with "In Jesus' name I pray" he barks (I think he is saying amen too) and then he knows its time to go and get hubby for breakfast time. I do call Koda my prayer partner :)
betty
Sending good wishes for Monti's continued recovery!!
Best,
Marty
