Sorry for the quiet, every time I started to post I guess I really didn't know how to word things. She was doing much worse by the next day, neurologically she had deteriorated to the point where she could no longer see. The vets at the cat clinic seemed to feel that her state was caused by being un...

Thank you for the kind words, Marty, I really appreciate it. And I appreciate the reply from you as well, Traci. I made an appointment immediately with the cat clinic and brought her over there. When I picked her up from the other vet (she had been kept there to hydrate her), they had gone ahead and...

Well I brought back to the vet last week for the next set of shots and to request a second blood test to compare her "healthy" numbers to her numbers while she was sick. She had been doing great -- very energetic, affectionate, eating and litter box habits absolutely perfect. But she was j...

I am trying to read up on FIP and I'm having a hard time finding something that isn't very vague or very technical/medical sounding that I have a hard time following. Basically.. my relatives were fostering the litter that our kitten came out of, via an animal shelter. When they finally went into th...

Gah how awful. I hope whatever is going wrong gets sorted out soon...

Oof ended up with my hands full, hence the lack of spammage. The 3 year old had stopped eating and started vomiting. Though she was not exhibiting any of the same symptoms, such as the lethargy, diarrhea, unusual aversion to everything/everyone, etc. I was wondering if it might be stress over the ho...

I'm also wondering why there is no Total Protein or Bilirubin noted on the results. Oh oops I had just listed the stuff that was higher/lower than normal and then the negative results at the bottom. My bad. :p As for the total results... hee my fiance saw me typing all of them out and shook his hea...

Seeing all the pictures of everyone's beautiful darlings made me scrounge up some pictures to show off my own. :) This first one is Callie, she's 3 years old now. We've had her since she was (estimated to be) 6 weeks old -- my parents were woken up in the middle of the night with windows closed by t...

Thanks, I appreciate your reply. I've been trying to look around for info just to educate myself on the possibilities, what more can be done, and it's not always easy to find what I'm looking for. So I don't think I can explain how much hearing another perspective means. Well, diarrhea can be debili...

A stool exam was done, both with the stool I brought in and some taken from her (is that a smear?). I was told they both tested "negative." But I guess I should have asked for what, because I was under the impression from these updates that parasites, bacteria, viruses, etc were all unable...
