What would you do? (**Update 6-18-09 - need your prayers)

Well, I stopped the Tapazole as directed and gave Sydney her anti nausea medication this morning. Sydney does look better today, and she seems to be more alert and not looking like she is on the verge of death. She does, however, still look like she doesnt feel very good. She was eating more, and I was actually able to get her to eat about a small can of cat food and a half of bottle of baby food - which is more than I have been able to get her to eat for a week. I am hoping she continues to improve and that she will be feeling better really soon. I am going to call the vet this morning to let them know about her progress. Still waiting to here back about the test results.

I'm glad to hear that Sydney's bloodwork and oragns look good. Lot's of prayers and positive thoughts are being sent her way.

I know all to well about vet bills because I'm dealing with this right now myself. When you have 6 cats it's a never ending thing.

It was defintely a huge relief to see her liver and kidneys were fine, I was becoming increasingly concerned. Thank you so much for the postive thoughts, they are very much needed. Like I have said before, this whole expereince has been very eye opening for me. I never really thought about cats and chronic diseases before my Sydney, and now I feel I am more proactive and watching for any signs. I am also researching pet insurance for my Charlie, becuase I just don't know what I would do if he got sick. I could never imagine having 6 kitties! :LOVE:

My Boo went to hypothyroidism after she had the radioactive iodine. Boo looked like she was on death's doorstep. But she pulled thru and lived another two years, before kidney disease caused her death. Prayers for you and Sydney.....

Thank you so much for sharing your story. I am so sorry that Boo has passed on. I feel that Sydney too looked like she was on death's doorstep yesterday, and this is why I feel she went in to hypo. I hope this is it because it is fixable, whereas if the cancer returns, this would not be. Thank you so much for the prayers - they are greatly appreciated!
