Thanks everyone!

Unfortunately, Nakita is not out of the woods yet. Of course, it's great that her red cell count went up, but the values are still shown to be anemic and could easily change again. There's something going on in her body and now we have to start testing to figure that out. All the past things....like the allergies, itching, vomiting and hyperesthesia could all be signs of this underlying condition. We're thinking its auto-immune related. What a nightmare this has been.

Plus, she didn't eat much at all yesterday, so my hopes were dashed that she looked perky and getting better. I had to syringe feed her yesterday and I just finished another feeding just now. I'm going to run out and buy some Innova EVO and some Nutri-cal. EVO is the only food she went nuts over in the past and I'm hoping it will bring her appetite back. I'm stuck between a stone and a hard place......give her EVO and have her allergies get out of whack again or give her Prescription allergy food and watch her not eat. Her current weight is 4 pounds......she was 5.2 pounds last year. She's so fragile I'm scared to pick her up. I'm dropping by the vets this morning to pick up more canned a/d food and see how long I should syringe feed her as well.

Arrrhhhhggg! I think I'm going to pull out my hair if something doesn't change soon. I was so happy to hear her red cell levels went up but that mood changed fast when I saw Nakita still tired and not eating yesterday. Wednesday we're starting the rest of the testing.

I know I've asked a lot already, but could you still keep Nakita in your thoughts? I'm keeping my fingers crossed that nothing happens between now and Wednesday since my vet's office is closed for the holidays.
