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!
