I've decided to start a new thread about Anika because the other one was more related to her possibly peeing on the floor but now that's not the issue or my main concern.

Here is the previous thread:

My husband got home last night from work about 1:30 a.m. and she didn't want to eat and so he tried again around 4:30 and nothing.

So I got up hoping I could try to get her to eat and nothing. I'm so worried about her right now. I had to go to work or otherwise I would of stayed home and tried to give her food every 2 hours. My husband is home with her at least. I'm going to be calling the vets as soon as they open to see if I should bring her in sooner.

Over the past 2 days the tuna has been going ok but this morning she didn’t want to touch it or even the milk I offered her.

I know you all probably think why didn't I notice this before but with 8 cats in your house and the bowls are still getting empty, plus she was always sitting out by the water dish so I just assumed that she was eating her hard food but she won't.

I feel like such a failure as a mom and my husband and I are no where near ready for more vets bills but what has to be done will be done.

I just hope they are understandable about it.

Please pray for her today, I will post if I can get her in sooner today.

Thanks for your prays,
Melissa

Will send prayers and healing thoughts to Anika and for you, too!

[Medusa]

Begging unnecessary; we pray w/out ceasing here. Keep the faythe.

[ChrisH]

Prayers on the way.

[Anikaca77]

Begging is all I can do I think right now because I feel so bad that I didn't catch this sooner.

I called the vets and they said they are completely booked right now. They said I could drop her off but I just don't want to stress her out by leaving her there unless I have to, plus I'd like to know what tests might have to be ran and what not.

Thanks for the prays,
Melissa

plus I'd like to know what tests might have to be ran and what not.

Melissa, living with 11 cats and 15 pets, I can understand a bit how you feel. Believe me, we ARE in tune to our pets, we DO notice, we DO catch things. You did fine thus far, so please try to stop beating yourself up!

Most likely they will do a complete blood work up, and a urinalysis. That along with the physical will start to narrow down the possibilities. Hang in there, and keep us posted!

I agree with Freedom!!! do not beat up on yourself. I sent you a pm. and continued prayers heading out to Anika...

[Anikaca77]

Well as of right now Anika has only had 3-4 licks of tuna juice, 1 pounce treat.



I'm so worried I won't be able to bring her home with me.

God please don't take my baby away from me.

Melissa

[LionHart]

I agree w/Freedom as well. You can't beat yourself up, you need to hang in there for your other furbabies.

[Anikaca77]

Well my husband put her in the cat carrier, my mom is going to be keeping her at her house until I come get her and go with my mom to her vet appointment.

Man I wish I could leave work right now.

[GILL]

I know how you feel as we just lost ET. BUT please DO NOT beat your self as we all know that you you have done every thing possible. We ae wishing you all our prayers.

[Anikaca77]

Thank you all for the continued prays.

I just hope they are able to figure out what's wrong with her and that what ever she has is curable.

I love my dear sweet Anika so much and she was my first baby after my other girl RC passed away back in Dec. 2001. I got Anika from the SPCA right before Valentines Day in 2002 and she was 2 years old then and now she's only 8 years old.

She loves to give head rubs and I love her so much. My husband and I are worried so much about her but then we are worried about money as well.

Well I'll let everyone know once I get back from the vets.

Melissa

More prayers for Anika that the vet visit is going well.

[Sevaede]

**HUG** and Good thoughts that things start to go better for Anika.

[Anikaca77]

Anika and I are back home, awaiting for the vets phone call.

She ran a general health/CBC/Electrolytes test which was $99.25, plus she gave her some fluids and that was $11.00 plus the visit $25, and some medical waste thing $2.00

So they wanted me to pay $50 of the $173.02 so with some donations I was left to pay about $35 but I already had a check clearing of $33 tomorrow plus a check already cleared there earlier this month for $44.53.

I'm not sure if she needs meds how I'm going to be able to afford to pay for them because I'm pretty much left with $45 for the next 2 weeks.

I'm so worried about her. The vet did say she had bad breath and she said with bad breath, and losing weight and not eating it could be kidney failure.

Then what.

I'll let you guys know if I hear something sooner.

Melissa
