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.

Please say a pray for my baby.

Melissa, I just read your entire thread on poor Anika. I really hope that whatever she has is something treatable!

Sitting here waiting for the result of Luna's FeLV-test, I know what it means to fear for the life of a beloved furry friend, and the vet bills don't make it easier...

Keeping you and your sweet Anika in my thoughts...

We will keep praying for your baby and hope that it is an infection. I don't know if you were using Gerber baby food, stage 2 as it is the better one, but you can consider mixing it with KMR or Whiskas' cat milk (it must less expensive) and she may go for that.

Well the vet asked me to try to give her food before giving her meds and I'm sad to say it didn't work.



I forced some a/d can food on her and she did really really well and I waited about 20 mins and gave her meds and she threw up all of her meds and her can food.

I'm afraid the next step will be the ultra sound.

Which will cost $150-$200.

Please pray for her.

Thanks,
Melissa

Does the med come in liquid form? Sometimes it's easier to just squirt it in and some cats have a bad gag reflex on pills, especially if the pill is bitter.

She is actually on the liquid form right now and I think that's what's making her gag more maybe.

I tried just giving her some cat milk and nothing. I feel like I'm losing my baby.

I just want to cry so bad right now.

We keep a lot of the Gerber's Stage 2 Chicken and Chicken Gravy baby food on hand for kitties who don't want to eat much of anything. That winds up being a nice tasty treat for many of them. You might want to see if Anika would like that.

Prayers and love and healing, strengthening energies are still coming from all of us.
