Trying not to cry right now
Lucas is sick. He has feline Addison's and right now he is blind. I don't know what to do. I can't get home for another two weeks. He is currently in the veterinarian's office. He didn't respond to the IV drip, but he did respond to the next round of medication that the vet tried. He either has, or was about to have kidney failure. Mom doesn't know anymore, but she promised to update me.
My sister found him crying on the bathroom floor (we keep the food dishes in the bathroom). According to the literature I found, he was probably going into shock since the vet also stated that his heart rate was slow. If my sister and mom hadn't gotten him into the vet's, he could have died. If he survives, there is still a chance of death, he will have to be on medication the rest of his life.
Now all three cats are sick. Emma has Leukemia, they still don't know what is wrong with Rocky, and now Lucas has Addison's. It is especially horrible because he was acting a bit odd this past weekend, but until it was time to leave I thought he was only acting like he was annoyed with me. When I tried to pet him when I left, he wouldn't let me touch him and seemed as if he didn't know me.
I know it is probably silly to be fighting tears right now over this, but I love my cats and this is really upsetting me, especially not knowing what is going on.
I want to be home with my cats right now.
