Ruffles home, post 16

[Medusa]

Goodness, how frustrating! When my Peeka became very thin and quickly, it turned out to be acute renal failure. I'm assuming your vet has already ruled that out. Well, whatever it is, know that prayers are going out as I type.

Thaks Mary, and Yes, Ruffles has had a full blood work up twice in the past month; and today they did a "super chem CBC." All is normal. Kidney, liver, the kitty is FINE . . . on paper.

I understand your frustration. My RB tiger kitty named Quasar kept losing weight. The vets (various vets, various cities) kept doing tests that showed nothing wrong.

She was on appetite stimulants for eight more years until she succumbed to kidney failure.

She was a doll--as long as we put her meds in her food and she was fine.

Who knows why? We're still learning so much about our furry companions.

Best wishes for you and Ruffles.

Hope that Ruffles will continue to demand food, and gain some of the weight back. If the test results were all normal, CBC and all that, there shouldn't be cancer, should there?? That would show up in the white count as an infection or something going on, I'd think.

Let's hope it was just the summer blahs, and she'll start to pick up more weight!


Hugs and kisses for Ruffles! Get better sweetie!
