Funding for someone in Cat Forum (UPDATE! #17 - only $54 left!))

When Puddy was so sick and didn't want to eat, she only wanted dry food. My vet said to let her have whatever she wants until she's over the hump. It made sense to me because if I have an upset stomach, I don't want anything moist; I want something dry, such as dry toast. So maybe letting her have dry food such as Purina Cat Chow will work just until she can eat her other food.

I am glade we could help And I hope that Anika is doing well. We will keep her in our prayers.
A side note The next time that one of my babies are ill I'm moving to PA. Those bills are a third of the ones I just payed for ET. The only thing we did not do was an ultra sound.

Well I just got a call back from the vets and well her thyroid test came back negative.

So that means either:

1 it's a bacteria infection and will be fixed with Amoxicillin or
2 it's cancer or
3 a tumor or
4 something that we won't know till we do an ultrasound.

She told me to try to force some food on her and get some in her belly and wait about 20 mins. then try to give her the liquid meds and then later try the pill too. She said that if she throws up again then I need to call her in the morning and we will decide whether to go straight for the ultrasound or try maybe a pill or an injection of the meds.

Please say a pray for my baby. Thank you for your suggestions and donations.

Okay, I've been following the thread on Anika kitty, and it looks like she will need further testing.

I PM'd Melissa, and the PayPal donations are a HUGE help! Those of you who have sent a cheque, maybe PM her and let her know how much. Yes, it spoils the surprise, but she is keeping a sharp eye on her budget.

Anika kitty will need $150 for an ultrasound. Myself, I would round that up to $200 as there are sometimes surprise "extras" - a few more meds or something.

I just got advised by PM of a $25 donation. So that leaves $175.00, with the pending cheques deducted.

Melissa can handle the back bills...it's the the new stuff that is scary.

Everyone that has donated just absolutely rocks! (as I said before )

So - if you have NOT donated yet, and would like to do so, PM me for the PayPal address or Melissa's mail address.

This is ENTIRELY VOLUNTARY - things are tight all over; I can't donate any more right now. BUT my thought was if enough people donate a little bit, that it will all add up.

Thanks SO much!

YAAY! Thanks folks - Anika kitty now only needs another $54.

If you know a PTr here you think might be able to give a little, please PM them and put this thread link in the message.

Just a little more!

THANKS!

(PS need lots of prayers for Anika...still not eating.... )
