Hagrid is gone. Update #40

[Prairie Purrs]

I'm really worried about my big boy. He's taking prednisolone but he's getting worse instead of better. His ears are raw and scaly, and his paws are itchy, too. He keeps shaking his paws as if he's stepped in something. And he's not eating enough--he'll take a few bites and that's it. I've been offering him food every couple of hours to try to get enough in him to at least keep him from dropping a lot more weight.

He had blood work done yesterday, but the results most likely won't be back until tomorrow. I'm scared that there might be something much worse than allergies going on here.

Please send Hagrid some healing thoughts. He's a sad and miserable kitty cat right now.

Aw, poor boy. He does really sound miserable. Of course, we'll keep the prayers going.

Prayers for dear Hagrid. He is SUCH a handsome boy.

9 isn't old at all...I hope a solution is found quickly!

Thanks for your prayers.

Hagrid's bloodwork showed an elevated white cell count, but not extreme. The vet is stumped, so he referred me to a clinic about an hour away from here for a second opinion and maybe an ultrasound.

I'm so afraid at this point that some form of cancer might be involved. I'll fight it tooth and nail, whatever it is. I need my happy, goofy Hagrid back.
