Need Healing Thoughts!

Kristin, I hate to bring it up, but this just about Mirrors Sylvester's scenario... Have they looked at her Kidney's. That was Elsa's problem. If that turns out to be the case, there are Kidney Transplants being done very successful on cats.... I hope I am wrong, but the similarities are just too close.

Kidneys would have come up in the blood work. All of her organs are working very well.

Glad to hear it... Seeing the identical path, I had to mention it... I glad those are good as that is a VERY bad path to take.

Has Zeddie ever had a fecal PCR done?

You might also get a few jars of Beechnut chicken and broth baby food. I have yet to have a cat to snub this. I also placed a can of people tuna in a blender with a cup of spring water to help rehydrate a very sick cat.

That sounds horrible... But it would great if it works.... The smell of tuna should get any cat at least interested.

I am now thinking that maybe coconut water mixed with the tuna might be good to keep her electrolytes in balance. That is, of course, assuming that Zeddie likes tuna.

Kristin, are you bringing her home on Sunday or leaving her at the vet's? And, if she is at the vet, can you visit her?

I had fecals sent in, but I don't think they did a full PCR before. The results came in today, and it came back positive with coronavirus (which the vet said is found in a lot of cats and means nothing) and another thing that is common in cats with diarrhea, that the metronidazole will clear up. Unfortunately it does not rule out IBD.

@WitchyWoman How was Juba (?? Is it Juba?) diagnosed?

I picked up a can of Wellness that has chicken chunks and gravy, and she ate almost the whole can. They can come home tomorrow as long as they are eating/drinking well.

I offered her tuna water, which she drank, but she wouldn't eat the tuna. But I might try the tuna coconut water mix, although she is so finicky that she might turn her nose up at the coconut water. Baby food is a good idea too. I don't think we have Beech-nut though, although I could be mistaken.

She will be put in QT in my room for a bit, where I can control her environment better. The vet wants to put her on prednisone, and go ahead with the exploratory. I asked for a week to look for other options because I detest prednisone and am terrified of the surgery. A diagnosis would be great....but what if there isn't one? Then she would go through all of that pain for nothing. I miss her so, so terribly. I snuggled her lots today at the vet. They at least gave her the biggest cage available, but she has pretty much the entire clinic hating her because of her voice I don't think it helps when I keep questioning the medications and procedure they want to do.

I can very much sympathies with you... I wish I had more advice or something to off... In the time being... I am send lots of Knee mail for the both of you.

Kristin, go with your intuition. Too bad they are upset. She is an individual who is scared and sick. You stick to what you know is best. Your GUT!!! HUG!
