Sending out lots of good vibes for Lilli and

for you.

I'm just so relieved that I'm actually gonna see her again, as I was beginning to think I might not. I get back to England around 2 on New Year's Eve. Much cuddling will be had!!! I would fly back now if I could afford to!!!

Thanks for the update, I bet you can't wait to see Lilli again!

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #28 on:** December 28, 2015, 15:39:44 PM »

I hope you are back home soon cos I am sure just seeing you again will help....................both of you

mad_lilli · « **Reply #27 on:** December 28, 2015, 15:39:15 PM »

Keep the vibes coming everybody, there's been an improvement!!! She's now eating well and they're planning to take her off the IV fluids & antibiotics. She'll be getting oral antibiotics instead. Apparently she's really bright and is asking for fusses. Lilli has always been a cantankerous

with everyone apart from me, but since she's gotten older, she's less cranky!!!
I know what you mean about Bonnie, I think we all felt like we'd lost her so for you it was heartbreaking.
I get back to England on Thursday lunchtime and the vets will probably have her there til then. I'm not back to work until Jan 4th, so I'll be able to keep an eye on her myself.
Thanks everyone. Xxxxx

Nothing nuts about it and never think that way

She is in the best place for her and getting the treatment she needs. When are you back home?

I think we have all got or had a cat that shadows us and we feel lost without them. I know when I had to make the big decision with Bonnie in April it was like having my right arm chopped off.

You know we all understand and we are all sending healing vibes to Lilli

My petsitter Jess, took Lilli back to the vets today as her digestive issues have worsened and she was hiding away. The vets have kept her in and are giving her IV fluids & antibiotics. It's even harder for me to deal with because I'm away in Belfast. I hate to think of her wondering where I am

Jess and her mum have been amazing though. I'd recommend them in a heartbeat.
I'm glad I have food in my freezer and plenty of baked beans because January is likely to be very cash poor............but we do anything we can for our babies.
I'll have her 14 years in February if she makes it and she's literally my shadow.

Thanks peeps. It's great to know you are all like minded and not thinking I'm nuts to be so upset.

S*D her, she's not a Purrs Family Member

If you do need to pts we can all help you get through it BUT as long as she is still having a good life, you can give her love and strength to carry on some more happy years with you

Talk to us, not her

Mary

Totally seconded

Thanks Mary and everyone. Am currently in Belfast with my mother who is advocating PTS without trying anything!!! Aaaargh. Xx

maryas · « **Reply #19 on:** December 24, 2015, 12:08:50 PM »

I'm late reading this and so sorry for you and your dear Lilli. At least some of the news from the vet was good, it's just the unknown that's the worry as we all know.

No info here I'm afraid. You might be better off sending PM to Liz with all her experience of all sorts of stuff or post in Health section.

GOOD LUCK

Mary

mad_lilli · « **Reply #18 on:** December 24, 2015, 11:24:19 AM »

Well, the results are in and I'm not much further on!! Kidneys and thyroid are ok. The vet now seems to be leaning towards IBD. She has recommended a paste and B12 shots for 4 weeks and then a scan if no improvement. Anyone familiar with this?

I've been travelling home to Belfast today and haven't gotten any results yet. I'm planning to call tm. Thanks everyone. Xxx

Sending lots of healing thoughts to Lilli.

On a side note I had a dog with a bowel tumour and he lasted a good year after diagnosis without any operation. The Veterinary put it down to our feeding him chunky chicken (chicken in white sauce from Asda), chicken soup and the occasional ginger biscuit (melted in soup), as well as my healing hands.

I'm sorry to hear this- really hope tests prove negative

Really hope it's a false alarm

Aw, poor Lilli - I hope the blood tests are clear and she's better soon.

mad_lilli · « **Reply #3 on:** December 21, 2015, 11:34:43 AM »

So far they're doing a hefty blood screen. I won't know what's likely to be next until the results are in from that. TBH, at her age, I don't think she'd survive surgery.

Dawn F · « **Reply #2 on:** December 21, 2015, 11:26:39 AM »

I'm sorry to hear that, our Oscar had one last year, is she having a scan?

mad_lilli · « **Reply #1 on:** December 21, 2015, 11:16:22 AM »

Had her at the vet this morning for some old lady checks (she's 16 and a half) and the vet reckons she might have an intestinal tumour. Obviously the prognosis, if this is the case, would not be good. I'm a bit of a wreck now as you can imagine.
