Update on my Luna kitty 3-31-2023
If you have kept up with my new journals I have had updates for my kitty Luna. :(
So Luna has been in the vet since Tuesday. 3 days 2 procedures and 1 surgery. :( She was vomiting more than she usual than the normal hairball and eating too fast vomiting. Then she had a lost of appetite and didn't want to eat food some days. So for two weeks I knew something wasn't right. My Mama instincts told me something was wrong. At first I thought it might have been an obstruction and I know that is something you don't mess around with in pets.
So I had to take her in Tuesday morning to the vet. They checked her out and she had jaundice so they had to do an x-ray and blood test. The x-ray showed no indication of any blockage /obstruction but she had hard stool in her intestines. I had to keep her at the vet so they could do an enema to help clear that out for her. They managed to get her to eat that day but since she was so weak they kept her overnight to do an ultrasound and liver needle biopsy on Wednesday.
Wednesday they did the ultrasound and she had inflammation on her liver and a few spots of inflammation in her intestines. They saw that she still had food in her stomach from Tuesday. They think since she's weak and sick like she is that her system is being sluggish so they had to give her meds to get her digestive system to speed up. Her blood results came back with high levels liver and gallbladder [which was expected with the jaundice she had] everything else was within spec.
Thursday she still refused to eat [I think she's probably stressed from what has been all going on and not being at home]. Her needle biopsy of the liver came back as they expected but I'm assuming no toxins, bacteria, no indication of diabetes, or cancer etc. Which is good. Nothing critical or life threatening yet so I managed to get her into the vet in time <3. They think she is deciding to be anorexic. Which they told me when cats don't eat it can cause the hepatic lipidosis which they diagnosed her with.
They had to keep her again overnight Thursday to do the surgery to put a feeding tube in so she can get the nutrients/food she needs to recover from this.
She got to come home tonight. <3 she looks a little better than she did. She was brought home with medications and liquid food we have to give her. They also recommended us to leave her own food out for her all day to see if she will start eating it on her own. We go back in two weeks to get her another blood test to check her levels.
Hoping she'll recover from this. She's still too young to lose her :( . She's only 6 years old and I'll be very very sad if it ends up getting worse and we have to put her down. I will if I have to even though I don't want to. Because I love my pets just as much as I love my family and if I lose her I don't know how I'll be able to cope.
So please still send prayers for her that she recovers to the fullest and it doesn't become something serious.
*another note*
I'm going to probably start trying to do some YCH's to help with the vet bill costs. It was definitely a large amount that we were not expecting at all right now. So please stay tuned!
