OT - My Willow-kitty

Well,  if you read my three things today you'll have seen that my Willow is not well.  She is underweight - she usually weighs 8 lbs but is down to 6.5 lbs.  She's dehydrated although both my husband and I saw her drinking yesterday and she drank quite a bit this morning.  When the vet listened to her lungs, things didn't sound good, she wasn't getting much air flow - off for x-rays.  She's got a ton of fluid in her chest which is compressing her lungs and heart.  It's possible that she has some sort of infection but it could also be a result of feline Leukemia or Feline HIV.  She was tested for both when she was younger and was negative for both.  So, I had to leave her at the Animal Hospital.  They are going to drain the fluid, put her on anti-biotics and fluids via IV and see how she does.  The vet cautions that only about 25% of cases get better after all of this but we'll hope for the best!!

Good thoughts, prayers, or whatever you'd like would be most appreciated!

Thanks,
Heather

Lots of prayers heading your way from another cat lover.  I hope it will be just fine and she'll be back to being healthy soon!

Wow, sorry to hear your sad news.  You have my prayers.  Pets are just as much a part of the family as the actual family.  Hope everything works out for the best.

Whom ever said that people who have WLS are taking the easy way out, have never had this experience.  This is a journey and a major challenge.  Step by step I am striving to make it as a loser!! 

Starting Weight/ Current Weight / Goal Weight  (for now)
