She hasnt been acting right today. No appetite, No pep. So at 7 p.m. we went off to the ER vet's (1 hr away). They did cbc and it showed only 2 things, dehyrdation and elevated sugar (stress probably from having blood drawn). She had a temp of 105 but all the blood work ups showed no sign of infection. They are stumped. She is spending the night at the ER vet and they will give her IV fluids and check her temp on regular basis. It was down to 104.5 when we left at 10 p.m. They also ran a Feline Leukemia and it was negative.
Her bone bump on top of her head now we know why, it was more than likely due to trama as a kitten. If it was done as an adult she would of died. That was a sad revoluation.
They want our vet to run an FIP test. Since we have multiple cats in the house. Slim chance it would come back postive but we should have it run to rule out.
So poor baby wasnt to pleased with Mom and Dad tonight. She wanted to go back into the carrier and come home.
We have to be back up to the ER vet's before 7:30 a.m. to bring her home. They close at 8 a.m. We need to take her over to our vets after leaving there. It's a hour drive one way (near where hubby teaches school). Hubby is taking tomorrow off.
Please keep good thoughts and prayers for our baby. I'm off to bed to get some sleep before having to get up and leave the house before 6 a.m.
I will update tomorrow.
UPDATE... 5 a.m. We just called the ER vet's and she is doing pretty good. Temp is now 103.5 (they had to put another IV line in the other leg because first one fell out, poor baby stuck twice) In 1hr we leave to go pick her up and then go right to our regular vets.
