What's weird was not all of our cats were effected :o
Like, most of them just seemed lethargic, which we thought "well, maybe it's the heat?"
Then I noticed they weren't eating as much.. that was the first hint. Then Nibby started with his symptoms.

But my Country girls are Tanks!!
:O Sassy has NEVER been sick, Tiny has only ever had a busted tooth.
Avi had her first 2 weeks of trouble when we got her..

Thank you so much ;~;

No.. he won't eat anything. He hasn't held anything down in days and he's extremely nauseated. Even the smell of food will make him run off like he's going to dry heave :(

He went from around 20-22lbs down to 14. It's hard because you even see it in his face how gaunt he is for a cat.

What was the last straw was he started to cry out in pain when he wanted to throw up and his eyes watered and tears actually fell ;___;

That probably broke my heart more than anything.

Yea, we took him in yesterday but we had to wait until today to get the results.

So the vet just called: I just got news that he's essentially relapsed with fatty liver/Hepatic Lipidosis.
Essentially his white blood cell count isn't elevated so we can't put all the blame on the food brand... just on the fact his body can't handle that food at all.

They gave me a quote that made my heart sink. I need to try to raise nearly 2k for all of Nibby's vet bills/procedures/medicines to fully treat him otherwise we're going to lose him for good this time. :(

If you could spread the word somehow I would be unbelievably grateful /_\

I know what Care credit is but I don't think we can get it. I forgot why we couldn't last time too? But we're still trying everything we can.

Thank you so much!
