Prayers, please, for my Creamsicle! *UPDATE w/Pic 7/20

[Medusa]

She's lost 3 lbs and I don't know why. She's eating and drinking normally, no diarrhea, nothing unusual, except that she's got the hair follicle infection again. Last time, Dr. Lee gave her a shot and it cleared up. I kept her on clindamycin and medicated baths but she got it back again, so he gave her another shot again today. He's really concerned about the weight loss so he did blood work and will have the results this afternoon. If she gets the infection again after this shot, he wants to do a biopsy. I'm scared.

PT Prayers for Creamsicle!

HUGS and I hope that all turns out well.

Could it be as simple as she is more active this time of year?

Even IF there is a biopsy, I hope it is something very treatable.

Get better, baby girl!

Prayers and good thoughts on the way.

Oh Creamsicle, you've got to get better so your meowmie can not worry about you. I hope the results come back and show that everything is fine.

Dr. Lee said that Creamsicle's blood work is absolutely perfect. Before I could breathe a sigh of relief, he said "Now I'm really worried." That stunned me because he is not an alarmist. He said "At least the blood work shows that there is nothing wrong w/her organs. But this weight loss has me worried. It could be from coming into heat so often, it could be that she's frantic from itching due to the hair follicle infection. I just don't know. Keep an eye on her, if she loses any more weight, get her in here pronto." He wants to take a wait-and-see approach, then have her spayed. While she's under the anesthesia, he'll take a look around and do a biopsy, too. This just isn't Dr. Lee's M.O. He's aggressive and he told me that from the day I first took my cats there.

I just feel so bad for my little one. She's deaf and a vestibular hypoplasia kitty, so putting her under is scary. He said that medically, she should handle the anesthesia very well; there's nothing in her blood work to indicate otherwise. But because she's deaf and so excitable, I hate the thought of her waking up and my not being there and she can't hear anyone trying to comfort her. Well, like it or not, she's got to be spayed, as long as she stays out of heat long enough to get it done.

I sure do have an expensive bunch of kitty cats!

[Taz_Zoee]

Well that's good and concerning news. I wonder if they'd let you be there when she woke up, just to help with the anxiety a little? So she'd see a familiar face and feel more comfortable. I would probably ask. It wouldn't hurt would it, to ask?
Well, Creamsicle will still be in my thoughts until she gets a clean bill of health.

Gosh, poor Creamsicle! I remember when she had the hair follicle infection before... how much of her was infected?? Was it a patch of fur, or like, all of her? Did he say what causes it? I'm sorry I don't remember much of the details. Poor thing must be itching up a storm! Hope Dr. Lee can figure out what is going on and give her some permanent relief.

Not to worry, Medusa, many prayers are on the way for you as well as sweet Creamsicle. Each Sunday at church I pray for all animals. Since I greatly dislike hymns I zone out so I can't hear them and use the time in special prayer for every sick PT kitty. You and Creamsicle are on my special list.
