    Big, big, BIG prayers needed for Allie- UPDATE on #148

    Today, we took our best snuggle girl, Allie (Alabama) into the white coats. I can't articulate why, but, I fear the worst. Last night, she didn't come out when we got home, 100% abnormal for her. We called and called and she arrived, looking awful. Thin, matted and slow. I picked her up and noticed a depreciable lightness about her. And, she stayed in my arms- 100% abnormal.

    This am, she tried and failed to jump up on the counter to get her wet food. This girl is a spring, normally. She will leap into my arms, onto my back, all without trouble. So, at 8am, we dropped her off at the vets. So far, I know she has lost 2 pounds since our last visit. I can't remember when I took her in last, but, it was within 8 months. The record was on the vet's desk..so, the tech couldn't confirm it. Two pounds on a cat is a lot.

    Sigh. Allie is 10 years old this August. I don't know how to deal with this, it will crush my son.

    So, the blood work will be back tomorrow, and they are trying to get urine from her now, then they will give her some sub-q fluids, and I will talk to the vet when I pick her up tonight.

    I am so sad.

    Oh no. I will keep Allie in my thoughts and hope it is something that can be fixed with a little meds. Fingers crossed here!
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    I'll certainly have my fingers crossed for lovely Allie's tests. I'll be thinking of you all in the meantime.

    It is dire. It is some sort of chronic condition- most likely the liver. Treatment options, if this is the case, are very limited. The bloodwork will come back tomorrow am.

    Johanna, I'm so sorry to hear this. I sure hope that there's some kind of treatment for whatever is causing this. Lots of prayers and positive thoughts are being sent her way. Please take care. (((HUGS)))
