tiny kitty
my tiny baby is sick... i took her to the vet on saturday for her usual exam and vaccines. she's been not quite herself lately and has lost a lot of weight. so i decided to take her in. last year she weighed just over 8 pounds (still small), today she is just a bit over 6 pounds. due to her low weight they didn't administer the vaccines and only took blood besides her exam. i just got the results... through the blood work, they've discovered she's having problems with her liver. it's either "fatty liver" disease, pancreatitis or something to do with her bile duct that connects the two. the vet assured me that several antibiotics, a steroid and high calorie food should take care of the problem. with the steroid and food being a constant in her life afterwards. she has another appointment in two weeks for a progress exam and another round of blood work. if that doesn't work, she'll have to have a liver ultrasound and biopsy to make sure there's no cancer.
i'm sad today.

aw, give tiny kitty lots of kisses for me! I hope she feels better soon and I pray the results will be ok!!!
will do! she should be feeling better soon when all the meds start working... lots of kisses for princess!
poor kitty. sasha and celene send kitty hugs and kisses to help her get better. celene said she would even give up her favorite mouse toy if it would help. keep us updated.
tell celene thanks, princess said she should keep her favorite mousey, she has lots of toys and blankies and her mommy is taking good care of her.
update- she also has a UTI discovered yesterday, i called the vet to make sure it wasn't related to the symptoms she already has, and they said no. they said the two antibiotics she's taking should zap it in a few days. when it rains it pours...
i stayed home today to keep an eye on her.... she's napping under my bed right now. actually it's more like pouting since she hates taking meds! ;oP
awww litte kitty! mommy is so good to you and she's gonna take care of you!
aw how sad. poor thing! i hope she's feeling better now that shes had a full day with her mommy.
