Just heard back from the vet this morning. Nakita's red cell count has gone up to 21% from the 14% that showed earlier in the week. Not sure why, but it could have been how they tested the actual blood sample. Seems there's sometimes a difference in how the testing is done and therefore can change the results. The first test was done in-house and the second was sent to an outside lab. Everything else is normal and within range!!!! I don't know what happened, but all your prayers worked! We're still not out of the woods though. Normal PCV range for a cat is 25%-45% so Nakita is still under that. BUT, it could be that number is normal for Nakita.

Also, I syringe fed her half a can of cat food yesterday. Last night before bed, she ate some dry food on her own! When we woke up this morning, she greeted us at the bottom of the stairs and gave both Rob and I headbutts! She actually looked 'perky' this morning. She still needs a couple of days to recover, since she didn't get much food between Monday - Wednesday so it will take a while to get back to normal. But from looking at her today so far, I'd say she's at 60-70% recovered. I'll make sure she keeps eating and she should be back to normal by Christmas.

Thank you soooo much guys for all your support, prayers and words of encouragement. They really helped me over these last few crazy days.You're all wonderful and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your compassion and friendship!!!! You've blown me away and I really wish I could come by and give you all a big ol' hug!

We have another appointment, after the holidays, on Dec.27th to recheck the values one more time to verify everything is stable. Also, as a precaution, we're upping her Prednisone to 1/4 pill daily just to help her system even out a bit. So it looks like my Emerald Girl is here to stay!

Now we just have to get back to the allergy testing....but I can handle that!
