Poor Zazou is VERY ill

[Freedom]

Dear Zazou, so many folks are praying for you, sweet kitty.

Lut, how old is she? This is so hard, I know. A family member is aging and ill.

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

Lut, how old is she?

Zazou is 13 years old. Far to young to go to the Bridge...

This morning she got that injection. The vet advised us to let her rest wherever she wants; so she is lading in our garden, on her favorite spot.
I hope that the cortisone is working as soon as possible.
Good news: 10 minutes ago she came to the kitchen window, asking to let her come indoor.
She walked right on to her foodbowl! So we put some of her tuna, and yes, she ate it all!!!:

21 pm:She is getting more active now, and jumped on the cattree by herself! That's really positive!!
Of course we know this is only for a short period, but we are grateful with every extra day we het with her!!

Sweet Zazou ~ We hope you will continue to have good days and confuse the vet.
Enjoy your day in the garden and enjoy your dinner.

Wishing you and Zazou many more days of joy.

What an improvement - sounds like she feels much better. I hope she will continue to eat and be active.

I'm glad that her appetite has picked up again. The frequency of those injections depends on the cat's condition.
A cat with cancer or IBD can have them fairly often.
If Zazou is getting the shots only to boost her appetite, you might want to ask the vet about an actual appetite stimulant like Mirtazapine. Steroids can a have a lot of side effects.
If she is still sneezing due to an upper respiratory infection, she shouldn't any cortisone injections, as they depress the immune system, and they can actually cause kitty colds.

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

Zazou's appetite is slowing down again, only 1 week after her second cortisone shot.....!
She still eats, but she doesn't eat as much as after her first shot.We're afraid that she will stop eating soon.....

[Karen]

Aww, yeah, I understand. The steroids only work for so long. Sending you hugs and love, humans and kitties alike.

[Catty1]

You've had some extra and wonderful time but I know it is never enough.

I don't know how her liver could be so bad...liver disease?

Prayers for more happy days.

We have absolutely NO idea, she was never sick, and we were sure she would live longest of all our cat-family...!
It's hard to accept.....
This afternoon she asked to go into the garden with Inka, and there she was playing a bit with Inka, chasing fallen leafs...

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

She is't eating much again.... . I'm afraid she is getting downhill again....
Her second injection with cortisone is't even 2 weeks ago...
I wonder if it is good to let her have a third one already??
She is not in any pain, so it is so hard to decide this; if you wouldn't know how sick she is, you would never believe this
