Oh no. I'm so sorry.

I hope the vet has something they can try. 14 just seems much too young.

They did another round of blood work. The thyroid numbers aren't in yet but everything else is fine. The vet thinks that maybe it is too high a dosage of thyroid med and they are making her numbers for that go too far the wrong way. So we wait on the results for that for a day or so. Until then, they sent us home with some high calorie paste stuff to give her a few times a day and some super duper high calorie kick butt food to tempt her with to atleast get something into her system. We also found out that as cats age some of them have trouble producing tears. Instead of nice clear watery tears they produce this horribly yucky mucus-ey stuff which, when it runs out of their eyes, can cause a minor infection near the corner of the eye. So...we have artificial tears to start putting in as well as an antibiotic ointment to put on the infected area.....but she is still kicking! I have never been so happy to be so wrong!

QofP, right back to you. What we are going thru is small potatoes compared to what has been going on for you lately. Glad everyone is ok after the fire ordeal and hope your little ones are calming down a little more with each day....

And thank you everyone for your support and thoughts and candles!
