Luna: the story continues... :(

[TopCat3]

Kirsten, you must know we don't think you sound stupid. After all, you sound just like the rest of us when one of our beloved kitties is in strife Tubby and Peanut's Mum is exactly right, it's everyone else (non-cat folk) who sound stupid

My girls mean the world to me, too, and I think I understand how you are feeling because I get in the same sort of state about my Cleo, 17, the one with CRF, HBP and hyperthyroidism. I get all teary at the vets, even if the consult is going well and results are encouraging!!! And in the car... and in the supermarket in the petfood aisle...

I agree with what the others say, just run whatever tests are needed till you find out what is wrong and then do whatever it takes to fix it so long as Luna does not suffer unnecessarily. A little bit of discomfort/fear might be necessary in which case the end justifies the means. Just as long as it's in her best interest and makes her feel well in the long run.

Good luck, try to stay positive, and keep us posted. Crying it out is better than holding it in. It makes us stronger.

Hugs to all of you and a special one for confused little Lily.

Thank you! I really wouldn't know what to do without this forum! (((HUGS))) to you and your kitties!

TopCat3, best wishes for your beloved Cleo, I'm sorry that she has to deal will all these problems. How is she doing at the moment?

Debbie, thanks for telling me about the details of Peanut's surgery, that sounds encouraging. Good to read that she has no problems and seems to feel fine!



I've spoken to my vet yesterday about Luna. She also thinks that ultrasound would be the next step at this point. She cannot do it herself, I either have to go to the other vet in my hometown, or to a vet clinic in Kassel or Göttingen. She's trying to make an appointment for me there as soon as possible.

Also, she said she's not comfortable anymore to give Luna any more meds at this point, as her reaction to them has been so weird this week. When it turns out there is no tumor, we will try the e.coli immunization, but first, we need to rule out the tumor-option. I'm really scared when I think about that! Luna is way too young for such a thing!


BTW, Luna seems to feel much better today. She has peed a larger amount this morning, and she has eaten with a good appetite. She had also a lot of fun with her kitty light this morning. Yestersay, she did literally nothing: no eating, no drinking, no peeing, no pooping. It was as if all her body functions had stopped, it's been totally scary. I guess this was because she was still drugged from the buscopan. Now she's doing much better.
