My dear friend, Debbie. Is there no stopping you? I only emailed Debbie on this because she has been through this with Tubby. I was not going to start a thread at all until I know more.
I already know that her kidneys are failing and she has been getting skinner. It could also be her teeth as I know they are not in good shape. I am well aware that teeth problems can lead to further problems with internal organs so I'm unsure of what to do. She's drinking lots and lots of water and her pee is good but poop is not so I've been giving her a stool softener twice a day for the past week but it has not helped. This morning, she did eat about 1/2 tsp of wet food then drank some more water and is now sleeping.
She will be 19 in April, 2006. If she needs tooth extractions, is it safe for this old of a kitty to be put under? I guess we'll have to wait to see the blood test results first.
I know that I'm not one of the most popular ones on board....please know that I do appreciate all of your support.
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!
