Zippy-Kat's K'Cee Kitty Get Well Soon Thread

[shais_mom]

Just a note to let you know that my Kissie Kat is in the hospital.

We had bloodwork done on the 16th and her BUN was at 32, two points away from normal. (I don't remember the other numbers off hand but they were normal).

This past Tues, she vomitted a little and just started acting "hairball-ish." (Hairballs are always a big production for her -- they are (and always have been) extremely hard on her little system.) Sat and Sun, she was off food completely and not drinking as much. (Again, typical hairball symptoms for her.) Then, last night she started acting funny (labored breathing, at one point I thought I was losing her). Long story short, her BUN is now 180 and her other numbers have sky rocketed as well. The vet thinks that she has a major hairball which, along with dehydration and going off her Rx food, has caused her kidneys to "get really mad." The good news is, we know we had the kidneys under control so he believes this is a bump in the road.

I don't know how long she's going to be in the hospital. I went and visited her this evening and she is ANGRY but the fluids/meds have her looking better. She hasn't ate yet, she's extremely nauseated. If there's no hairball by morning, he's going to do Xrays.

It's also looks like my princess will be getting a lion cut in the near future. I'm not crazy about this but I don't want to go through another one of these episodes.

Thanks for reading - we sure wouldn't refuse any extra prayers if you have any to spare.

many hugs and prayers and love sent - Kylie said the Lion cut isn't so bad - you get used to it! Personally - I LOVE IT!

Oh my, these trips to the vet just aren't fun for our little ones - and we humans just hate it and worry, worry, worry.

Come on Kissy Kat - do your stuff and get well for your Mom. You are just too darn cute to be sick.

Prayers are on their way.

Aww, prayers for the Kissy Kitty. And I think the lion cut may be just the look for you, dear one, with summer approaching!

I'm so sorry to hear that K'Cee is in the hospital. I hope she'll start doing better soon so she can come home. Lots of prayers and positive thoughts are being sent her way. Please take care. (((HUGS)))


Storm,Sky, and Ziggy want K'Cee to now that lion cuts make us feel so good during the hot summer months and they make us look gorgeous and feel so soft like velvet. They get the kind that doggies get. I'll attach a few pictures.

I think lion cuts look silly, but if it helps K'Cee, go for it! I have short-haired cats, so I really have never had a hairball problem with either of them.
