The same on the way from here- it could also be renal failure (CRF), hard to say without the blood work results - but sub-cu. fluids gave several of my kids 4-5 happy, healthy YEARS with that condition, if it's early enough (and it sure sounds like it is)- good luck and prayers-- hope it turns out small and treatable-

Thank you, everyone.

The blood results came back this morning with the three biggies- kidney, liver and thyroid- all within normal limits. The vet was VERY surprised. Her white count is elevated- which matches the fever, which she still has today, at 103.5. I took her in for another sub-q fluid, and will do it again tomorrow morning before the vet office closes.

The vet is baffled. Her bilirubin numbers are high, no question. That suggests a liver issue. But, her liver numbers were fine. She is sick, no question about it. But, with what, I don't know. The plan is to treat her with sub-q fluids and clavamox and if no change by Sunday am, take her to the ER vet for furthe diagnostic testing.

She will not eat. This am, I found her and carried her to the counter for morning treat of wet food. She stared at it, and licked it twice then went to jump down. I got her to eat about 4 little treats which I figure are better than nothing. I will go out this afternoon to get some tasty stuff, and pray that she eats.

So, while Allie is sick, I don't know how sick. Overall, I am happy with the blood work, but still cautious with the lack of information. I will keep you all posted.
