    Well she is back home and eating a little bit. The vet gave her some cordisone and antibiotics. She took a whole bunch of tests and is thinking that it has something to do with her liver. I don't know much about liver, so I don't know if it's something that we can save her with.

    The vet thinks she is going through the same thing she went through last year. So she thinks there is a big change we can get her back. But right now it's just a waiting game. She is going back into the vet tormorrow mourning.

    Please countinue those PT prayers.
    Thanks so much Ashley for the siggy!

    GOOD NEWS!

    I have read here on PT that if a cat doesn't eat for a long while, they can get what's called 'fatty liver disease'. I don't know much about it. But if she gets drinking and eating soon enough, hopefully that will help.

    Great that she is using the box - get more better, Keshaw!

    Along with your vets antibiotics you may want to ask about regualar electrolytes given to her.
    I buy the electrolytes from revivalanimal online

    http://www.revivalanimal.com
    I have packages of it and mix it with water when i feel they are a bit dehydrated and not drinking enough.
    I put it in a NON needle shringe and slowly give whoever needs it 2-3 milligrams 2-3 times a day for 2-4 days as needed.
    When cats get liver problems or any problems from getting older sometimes they need extra fluids...they need a lot of water at that point in their life and if their not drinking it...i usually help them with the electrolytes.
    Only once in a while.Not on a regualar basis.I wouldn't do it regualarly without the vets permission.
    I always have it in the house for when i see a cat look sluggish.
    It's been a blessing having the powdered stuff on hand.
    Mix 1/2 tsp of electrolytes to 1/4 cup or 2 ounces of water.
    leave it in refridgerator and discard after a few days.

    Thank You Kim for this wonderful siggy
