Johanna, I'm so sorry to hear this. I hope the bloodwork will show it's not too bad and there will be some treatment for Allie.
Sending lots of positive throughts to Allie - and big hugs to you.

Poor Allie. I hope they can figure out something to help her.
Sending all my best wishes for Allie- I know what a shock it is to suddenly experience this..
Love to you and Jonah. And Allie.
Hmmm, darned if that doesn't sound like how my Boo was when he was first diagnosed w/thyroid problems. Of course, Boo is much older, he's nearly 19 now but the way you described Allie's appearance and behavior, it sounded like how Boo behaved. Whatever it is, I do hope that your vet can get to the bottom of it quickly and that a solution is found just as quickly. Prayers are going up for Allie, you and your son. Keep the faythe.
Blessings,
Mary

Prayers for Allie and your family. {{hugs}}
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.
Smokey the Elder had the same thing in 1997. She lost a bunch of weight, but nothing on the blood work. She was put on A/D and a quarter Tagamet (ancestor to Pepcid) once a day, and she got her weight back. The vets were scratching their heads on this one.
