Thank you all!!! Prayers work!!
She was on IV today. But the cost of keeping her til Monday in their “hospital” cage was going to be over $1000 and we cannot afford that. So we have to do the sub q at home. One good thing, I saw their “hospital” and it was just her, alone, in the dark, in a cold metal cage, all night and day except for their employee’s short visits tomorrow. She is used to us being around, to her home, to love. So I do think that it is good she is here with us to love her.
My sainted mother saved one of the cats once by cooking up some white meat turkey. What with the smell of the cooking and the hand feeding, the cat came back to life. Amazing.
A Siamese, too. Stubborn.
You might want to get a second opinion/vet...chicken or turkey from the deli might encourage kitty to eat.
Absolutely! Holding her close, letting her know you love her... that is medicine in itself.
btw, LOVE your tagline. One of the best. :)
Yaelle, my 12 year old Tigtig was very very sick for more than a month, took to vet, did Xray, huge invasive cancer, no cure. Took him home. Just sat with him, carried him around, held him to pee/poop or eat, which he did sometimes. Many days I was sure he was going to depart. I sang to him, sat with him, prayed to God to take care of him.
Amazingly enough, he recuperated and is now his old self. I have no idea what happened, I saw the Xray. Maybe it was something else. Maybe he’ll get the symptoms again, have no idea.
You never know - the love you show your cat if not healing her body, will give her comfort and love can be healing, and if she doesn’t get better, she will be happy knowing you are there with her.
Man that sounds like a rip. You could try a different vet too, just to belabor the obvious.
I agree, I’ve never seen the advantage of leaving any animal in the cold metal cage pretty much unsupervised. And then they charge us for that!
