Well, we took Whitey to the vets and he seems to think that she might either be diabetic or have some kidney problems, both where we will have to deal with it. They will keep her until Saturday to make sure what is going on and to stabilize her more. BTW, I'm doing more research to help her out based on what I've read here and I will get to your private mails soon. Right now, I'm waiting for a status check from the vets. I'm not too depressed now, at least she is under expert care and the kidneys do concern me but with this vet, we did keep one cat alive (where another vet wrote her off) with kidney failure for 2 and a half years with only diet modifications and another for 9 months with fluids. I'm hoping that we can keep her going as long as the first if not longer.

He just wants to make sure because diabetes can play havoc with the kidney numbers too.

Saw your post last night and wondered how the kitty was doing. Sounds like you’re doing better and Whitey is in good hands. Good to hear!

Came back looking for an update this evening. Keeping sweet lil Whitey in my prayers, hoping diabetes isn’t the problem. It’s a little trickier to deal with but it can be done.

I’m glad they didn’t find anything worse. The two possibilities you’re looking at are treatable and Whitey should be with you for a while yet. :-)
