I have the most wonderful 0 year old cat. Sher went off her food last Tuesday. Was at vets Wed, anti b and anti inflam, no temp. Took bloods which showed liver issues maybe hepatitis. Different anti b, appetite stimulant no change. Back to vets who scanned her and saw an angry gallbladder, enlarged liver and poss free fluid in abdomen but unable to needle biopsy it. Brought her home and syringe fed her day and night but no better. Vets kept her over the weekend, hot mat and suit as she was cold and then a drip as she was a little dehydrated but really no improvement. Also her heart is enlarged and struggling now.
Todays bloods show much the same but also jaundice and kidney probs now. I know we will probably have to say goodbye tonight but I can't get my head round how all this can happen so quickly. She was absolutely fine until she wasn't.
I'm also feeling dreadfully guilty as she has never eaten cat food - refused all of it and has always lived on chicken, fish, other meats etc with the addition of an people food she could steal like a sausage, custard, rice pudding, roast meat!
I think I just needed to get it all out there as I'm so very sad and overwhelmed by all of this. She's just the best and my house will never be the same without her.
