It's going to be a long and rough road......
Puddles (Pic above) has been diagnosed with Liver Failure..... We took her to the vet Yesterday (Friday) where the vet said she gave Puddles a 50/50 chance and that was only if there was nothing wrong with her kidneys. She stayed the night and made it through. She was hooked up to an IV to keep her hydrated and she's been put on Appetite Enhancers to hopefully get her eating. As of right now, she's home though still not eating by herself. I have to feed her with a syringe. She still pretty yellow though getting some of her color back, which makes me very hopefully.
Although, she still doesn't have the energy to do much and is still pretty nauseated, she been purring a lot and has her happy face on a lot since she's come home this afternoon. She was very depressed and withdrawn before Friday. So seeing her happy keeps me hopeful still. :-)
She was also given an injection of Fluids under her skin to keep her hydrated for the next 48 hours. Which I have had great fun with. lol Because of it, she has this pocket of water on her left side. I like to poke it gently to watch it jiggle. lol And Puddles being Puddles doesn't care. :-)
She's going back to the vet's on Monday for a follow-up exam and test results. We still don't really know what's wrong, however, her condition is reversible because we caught it soon enough. Her liver just needs to get jump started again. lol But hopefully we will have more answers on Monday.
Hopefully, she will start eating on her own again in a few days.
The vet was saying that they just had a similar case come in a few days ago and the cat is fine now and eating on his own. Which also makes me hopeful for Puddles.
I purchased the best Insurance Plan I could for her today as well. So her future vet visits will be covered. And if she needs surgery for any reason (She also has a history of problems with her bladder) the cost will be 80% covered by her insurance.
