    Dropped Toby off to the vet ...

    ...and I went to the dentist with bad results...then i go back to work and get a call from the vet .. they couldn't operate on Toby. ..they did blood work and there is some sort of deficiency in his blood. I have no idea what that will mean.. but I'm horribly worried ..

    I am sorry that Toby couldn't have his surgery today. Maybe it is just a temporary thing (like anemia) and after some treatment he will be just fine...

    i'm so worried because this is a sign of luekemia .. my god i hope thats not the case, and I don't know what to do if it is... not to mention the fact that it could be something that costs a lot of money to treat, and I'm just afraid that I might not be able to afford it

    they are doing tests on him .. i guess we just have to wait for the results.

    anyone know of any signs of a serious disease? I was really surprised because toby is such a healthy looking cat...and now this happens all of a sudden.

    Did the vet tell you that it was leukemia? If they didn't actually say that, it might not be as serious as you are thinking... I hope that it isn't leukemia...

    Okay, maybe it isn't as bad you are imagining... Until you have an opportunity to talk with the vet try not to imagine the worst case scenario (I know that it easier said than done). I hope hat there is something that they can do or recommend for Toby ...

    yes, it is hard Seeing it is Friday, I'm afraid we might not hear the results until Monday.

    what does it take for them not to be able to perform a surgery on cats? I mean it has to be something ... or are they just being cautious?

    I know it's hard, but try not to worry and let your imagination get ahead of you. It must be really scary not knowing. I pray you get the results today and it's nothing serious. Keep us posted please.
    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!

    WOW. the waiting is the hardest part. They should have been a little more specific when they called you in the first place. Didn't they KNOW it would worry you to not have the whole story? We'll be thinking of you and praying for a swift and simple answer. Hang in there Toby, we'll get to the bottom of this.
