I'm sending prayers for Allie.:love:
Prayers for Allie, and Johanna.
Johanna, I'm so sorry to hear this. :( I hope the bloodwork will show it's not too bad and there will be some treatment for Allie.
Sending lots of positive throughts to Allie - and big hugs to you. :love:
Poor Allie. I hope they can figure out something to help her.
Sending all my best wishes for Allie- I know what a shock it is to suddenly experience this..
Love to you and Jonah. And Allie.
Hmmm, darned if that doesn't sound like how my Boo was when he was first diagnosed w/thyroid problems. Of course, Boo is much older, he's nearly 19 now but the way you described Allie's appearance and behavior, it sounded like how Boo behaved. Whatever it is, I do hope that your vet can get to the bottom of it quickly and that a solution is found just as quickly. Prayers are going up for Allie, you and your son. Keep the faythe. :love:
Prayers headed Allies way...
Sorry I didn't see this earlier.Prayers going out for Allie. I hope it's not
as bad as first thought & she can be helped back to good health.
Prayers for Allie.
Hang in there, and think positive.
Sorry Cataholic, hope Allie will pull through for you.
Prayers for Allie and your family. {{hugs}}
The same on the way from here- it could also be renal failure (CRF), hard to say without the blood work results - but sub-cu. fluids gave several of my kids 4-5 happy, healthy YEARS with that condition, if it's early enough (and it sure sounds like it is)- good luck and prayers-- hope it turns out small and treatable-
Thank you, everyone.
The blood results came back this morning with the three biggies- kidney, liver and thyroid- all within normal limits. The vet was VERY surprised. Her white count is elevated- which matches the fever, which she still has today, at 103.5. I took her in for another sub-q fluid, and will do it again tomorrow morning before the vet office closes.
The vet is baffled. Her bilirubin numbers are high, no question. That suggests a liver issue. But, her liver numbers were fine. She is sick, no question about it. But, with what, I don't know. The plan is to treat her with sub-q fluids and clavamox and if no change by Sunday am, take her to the ER vet for furthe diagnostic testing.
She will not eat. This am, I found her and carried her to the counter for morning treat of wet food. She stared at it, and licked it twice then went to jump down. I got her to eat about 4 little treats which I figure are better than nothing. I will go out this afternoon to get some tasty stuff, and pray that she eats.
So, while Allie is sick, I don't know how sick. Overall, I am happy with the blood work, but still cautious with the lack of information. I will keep you all posted.
Smokey the Elder had the same thing in 1997. She lost a bunch of weight, but nothing on the blood work. She was put on A/D and a quarter Tagamet (ancestor to Pepcid) once a day, and she got her weight back. The vets were scratching their heads on this one.
What about baby food? In the past I've used that for cats with upset tummies.
