Thank you, well getting closer, my stomach is in knots, let us hope it is something some antibiotics can fix, she is off her food a little, but still eating, have not seen her drink, so giving her some via syringe to make sure she is getting some, she does eat wet food so that all helps.

I managed to get a pee sample for the vet, i had some plastic things they gave me ages ago for Ash, which we never managed to use as he would not use litter boxes,and good lil Ellie did hop in there, so i am relieved about that, i am sure he will want one,and i was not having a needle put in her bladder, she has been through enough my wee girl, of course she might need a blood test, but we shall see, anyhow will keep you all posted once i have seen my vet.


Fingers and all paws crossed for a positive outcome, thanks again everyone, it helps to share my concerns.

Ok well we are back, the news is not great, but then it is not all bad either,Ellie has an enlarged liver it seems, it could be just an infection of the liver, in which case the antibiotic injection will clear that up, she will need another two injections two weeks apart, the not so good news it could be tumour,however for now we will see how this works,.

I am hoping it is only an infection, as i have made the decision Ellie will not be put through any more surgery, it was extremely hard on her the last two major surgeries and i am not prepared to go down that road again, i will let her go peacefully, if that is the case,however i am thinking positive and hoping it is just an infection, she has even picked up a bit since we came home.

Ellie was yet again the perfect patient, she never moves, honestly she just is so scared and trembles poor wee soul,but such a model patient even when the vet put the thermometer you know where, she never even moved, has a slight temperature too.

The good news because i got the pee sample, he did the dipstick tests which showed her kidneys are functioning well, so that is one good thing.

She is such a darling wee girl, and since her other surgery, has now got a much more gentle nature,obviously the pain was making her bad tempered, gosh i can relate to that one lol, but then most of us can from time to time.

here are some pics of my girl before we left for the vet, as always Ellie just poses in the most cute positions for my camera,she is my little cutie pie for sure. You can actually see in the pic how bad her fur looks, apparently the liver problem can indeed cause this as well, the main reason i thought it was thyroid because of her fur condition and she eats a lot some times but does not gain weight, she has lost weight unfortunately, only 3.1 kgs at the moment.

I hope that it's only an infection too and that the antibiotic injection will clear her up quickly. Lots of prayers and positive thoughts are being sent her way. Please take care. (((HUGS)))
