    It doesn't look good....

    I just spoke with the vet. Her kidneys are very bad so she has to stay there until Friday. Her kidneys will be flushed out for the next two days and on Friday morning another blood panel will be taken. If the numbers are better, then she can come home and I will have to give her sub-q fluids. If the numbers have not improved then...and in his words....the prognosis is not good and she can go home and you can make her as comfortable as possible. Oh yes, and the x-ray shows some kidney stones but he say that the flushing should take car of that. She is also on antibiotics for the mouth infection. He gave her an appetite stimulant and she did eat something this morning so that's good.

    The bottom line will be about $900 now but I will find a way to come up with the money even if I have to eat Mac and Cheeze for next few months. She is worth it and I'm not ready to lose her yet. I'm going up tomorrow to make a payment and to take her some of her favourite Fancy Feast food.

    As for Max, well he really doesn't care. He never liked her anyway and he's been velcro kitty....only because he's happy to be in a one cat home for a while.

    My heart is breaking.....and my tears won't stop.

    Hugs, prayers, good thoughts and everything else I can muster up will be going your way. Praying that sweet Speckles overcomes this hurdle.

    Come on, Speckles, we're rooting for you!

    Oh Slick.

    I just know the flushing will make her feel better, and will help her kidneys, I just know it will because it has to.....

    I don't know what else to say except know that our hearts are breaking and our tears are flowing along with yours.

    Come on Speckles, sweetie, we need you so please continue to eat and be a good girl and follow all the docs orders so you can come home real soon. Your meowmy needs you....even if your brother doesn't.

    Dear Slick, I'm crying with you. I so hope Speckles will perk up and be able to come home with you, so you enjoy each other for a while yet.

    I was going to reply, but I can't right now. I will try to call you. I, too, am having a serious bout of LES. Hugs to you Sis.... watch you own health right now. A lot of special critters [skin and fur] need you to stay strong and healthy. Do it if not for yourself, but for the others that need you You are loved so very, very much.

    Speckles needs prayers

    Oh Slick, I can't begin to tell you how sad I am about your sweet Speckles. Lots of prayers are continuing for her recovery. I can't afford much right now but I'm willing to help you meet the vet bill as best I can. Just ask.....
