My poor little Kasha :(

[critter crazy]

Awwww....I am so sorry!! Prayers comming your way, that it is just an infection and that Kasha will make a speedy recovery!!!

[Catty1]

I hope that because it came on suddenly, that it is an infection or a conditon that can be treated!

I hope Kasha is back to bashing noses in no time!

Everyone here will be keeping their fingers and paws crossed for Kasha! How scary.

I am sorry to hear about Kasha and will be watching for updates.

But I must also say, you had me chuckling explaining Kasha's purrsonality! Wow, no wonder you knew there was something amiss. She must be a bundle of trouble most of the time.

Let us know when you can what's up with Kasha, and I do hope she feels better fast. Even if that means a few skinned doggie noses.

Kasha I hope you are feeling better very soon. Remind meowmie that you need some milk thistle to help with your liver when you get home. A big hug and kiss for you to make you feel better sweet girl.

Glacier, paws, fingers and all else crossed for a good outcome from all the tests.

[fragrancehound]

I'm saying a prayer for you and your kitty!

Thats so sad that after finding her Furr Ever Home at last that poor Kasha is so ill.
The Pet Angels have sent several Angels to be with Kasha in her time of need, and to help comfort thier poor White Friend.
We are praying that your Wonderful Vet can have Kasha to her old Dog Mauling Self soon.

Best wishes for Kasha's full recovery. You will need to remind yourself that while liver disorders make a cat feel truly awful, and play havoc with their appetite, once they are through it then they can really bounce back. Even though a cat feels sicker when something is wrong with their liver, I'd much rather that than their heart, kidneys or pancreas. Ginger went through something like this about three years ago, and I had to force feed her for weeks, give her fluids, etc. She'll be 21 next June. Her sister had cancer of the liver, as well as renal failure, and lived for 2 good years after the diagnosis.

It is very distressing when our cats, or dogs, lose their vivid personalities as they fight illness, it's heartbreaking.

I've also been adopting senior cats recently, in their mid-teens, and know exactly what you mean about knowing they may have only a few years with you but not being willing for this to be true. When I adopted Dude, about 15 and FIV+, he looked as though he might die within days. He'd been at the shelter for over five years and, while they'd given him monthly depo shots, they had ignored the fact that he was dripping blood into his dishes. I literally brought him home to die. With help, he did bounce back, but I know his body is rather worn out and I shouldn't be shocked when he goes downhill. But I adore that cat now, he's my favorite out of 19, and I'm going to be ripped apart when we have to separate. Logic just can't rule in such cases.

You don't happen to have any photographs of Kasha going for the nose do you?
