Priscilla's not doing well

[phesina]

Priscilla went to see her regular vet yesterday for a checkup. As we know, her eyes are okay, but as for her kidneys she is NOT doing well. She was dehydrated again, even with all the fluids I give her, she does not eat on her own at all, and she mostly just lies around. Sometimes she throws up some of the syringe-fed food.

A blood sample showed that her hematocrit is now almost back in the normal range, but she has a high white blood cell count. Her BUN and Creatinine are still high.

We are trying a few more things.. upping her subQ fluids to 100ml 4 times a day now and giving her a couple of injectable meds along with the subQ to ease her tendency to vomit and combat possible infection, as the WBC count may indicate. And I'm to continue syringe-feeding her. This is only to see if I can give her a bit more good time.

I'm to call the vet back tomorrow to let her know how she is. She still enjoys lying in my lap as I pet her and looking around from the windowsill or the top of the TV, but I don't think it will be much longer now.

Thanks for your prayers and kind thoughts and healing, comforting energies.

Pat, and my own Miss Pretty Princess Priscilla, and Peony, Poppy, Sydney, and Elmer

I'm so sorry to hear that Priscilla is not doing well. I really hope the extra fluids and the medicine will help her feel better. It's good she wants to snuggle up with you.

Sending lots of positive thoughts.

Oh no! Priscilla, don't make me come over there! Special healing prayers headed your way.

Thank you, Sandra and Randi and Mary and Candace and Lizzie and Freedom and Krazyaboutkatz. She isn't doing any better. She likes to sit on my lap for a while, but then she gets up and goes over to one of her other places to rest. She is just so weak, too. She sometimes just falls back against something and stays resting in that position.

Thanks for posting the prayer request, Sandra, which I went to and read, and thanks everyone for all your prayers and positive thoughts. Priscilla and I appreciate them all very much.

Thanks, Lizzie, for the tip about checking for labored breathing. I'm not really giving her that much additional fluid. Before, it was 200ml in the morning and 100 in the evening. Now it's 100ml each time four times spread out over the day. But I will keep a close watch.

She was on my lap as I was typing, and now she just got up and jumped down. But she is kind of wobbly on her feet. She just slid over on some papers and stayed lying there for a bit. Then she got up again and walked over to her fleece piece by the heater and settled down there.

Thanks again, everyone,

Pat and Priscilla
