Prayers for Tuscan

[catnapper]

I noticed Tuscan drinks and drinks and drinks. I thought t hat maybe there is an underlying medical reason why he would be thin. I took him to the vet this morning. Depsite eating like a champion (and MORE than my guys do in a day) he LOST nearly 1 pound

The vet is concerned he might have diabetes or a kidney issue that went undiagnosed all his life. I'm very concerned for my sweet foster. Yes, he's still my foster... nobody else in the rescue has room for him so he's still in my son's room til further notice.

The vet said he's a very jumpy kitty (I thought he was confident! ) and perhaps he's misreading my cats' actions and jumping on them. So when I get him back from the vet, I will let him investigate each room without my kitties until he feel confident and at home in each room. I'll take it s-l-o-w so that when I re-introduce my gang he won't feel anxious. My gang was accepting him very well... it was Tuscan who reacted to them.

Anyhow, please get those PT prayers going for my handsome underweight orange foster. I hate to think he might have a serious illness.

Kim,

I do hope it's nothing serious. He'll be in my thoughts and prayers. Poor baby.

[Felicia's Mom]

Tuscan is in my prayers.

MAJOR prayers that he is ok! Get better, dear Tuscan!

Poor Tuscan, I surely hope that its not diabetes that Tuscan has. My cousin had a cat once and it had diabetes, and it didn't end well, its such a hard illness for a cat to survive.

BUT of course our PT prayers will be at work and I know Tuscan will be alright

IF he DOES have diabetes, PM Smokey the Elder. He has handled this and done just fine.

I personally know two people with a diabetic cat - and they take their shots well! It doesn't have to be an expensive proposition either!

And a kidney condition can be managed as well.

Might it be his thyroid too?

Prayers that all works out well for you and this lovable boy!
