Nakita's Health Update - **The saga continues...update..post #146**

[Russian Blue]

Thanks everyone for keeping us in your thoughts. We can really use them.

I woke up this morning to find clumps of Nakita's hair around the house. She's pulling the fur from her chest area. Since she had her dental on Monday, not sure if this was a pain or stress response or even her allergies. I gave her some pain meds early this morning.

I just spoke to the vet since Nakita still was pulling her fur. She's sleeping now but if she gets worse I'll bring her in tonight or tomorrow morning. I've just given her regular Prednisone dose to see if that will help.

It feels like the more I do for Nakita, the worse it gets.

Oh, poor Nikita. I hope the vet figures out what is wrong and that it can be treated and that Nikita will feel less stressed (and you as well!). It's so hard when you have a kitty that is sick and you just end up feeling helpless because there isn't much you can do until the vets get answers for you. Hugs to you and Nakita.

Kass, you and Nakita are very much on my mind. I hope Friday brings some constructive news - a way to help Nakita through this difficult time.

Hugs and prayers always,
Betty

Dear Nakita,

They are going to figure you out and help you. They helped me a lot, and I have my steroids and my lotions.

I'll tell everyone to sing Meezer songs for you.

Love,

Malfi

Oh, Kass, I'm so sorry to hear about Nakita's health problems. Prayers & positive thoughts on the way.

I had to move Nakita's vet appointment to this morning. Yesterday she was pulling her fur out in the morning and then slept all day. She has not shown any interest in eating for the last 16 hours. I tried everything yesterday to make her eat, but she wouldn't.

When I woke up this morning, she literally looked depressed and her eyes seemed 'empty'. We took her to the vet first thing this morning. She sent some bloodwork to an external lab to figure out what is making Nakita anemic. It could be any chronic underlying condition. We will have the results in the morning. Her body weight is down to 4.4 pounds. I just finished force feeding her Prescription A/D canned food. That was a fun experience...NOT! What a mess.

I'm really scared for the results tomorrow and I can't stop being emotional. My girl is so fragile right now and I don't know what they will tell me tomorrow. We need as many positive vibes and thoughts you can spare. I don't know what tomorrow will bring but it looks like a long emotional road ahead.

Please pray for my Emerald Girl.

Thinking of Rose's Malfi I will sing for Nakita.
