Please wish her luck :Luv2:
I am dropping her off at 9am and will pick her up in the afternoon. I imagine they will shave her belly?
She had only just forgiven me for her midweek vet trip and stays on the bed instead of hiding under it when I go up :(
Hopefully they will find it's something easy to treat :Luv2:
-
Good luck tomorrow Alice will be thinking of you and you too Mark :hug:
let us know how she gets on
xx
-
:cuddle: for this special lady.
Thinking of you both. Try to have a good sleep tonight x
-
I wish Alice luck for tomorrow and sending her a big :hug:.
Aw they will shave her belly , but it will grove back so fast and she is so gorgeous it dont matter anyway. :Luv:
-
Fingers and toes crossed for her Mark!
-
She gave me her usual croaky mieow this morning and I felt so guilty that the next time I go upstairs will be to put her in the carrier. She looks so bewildered when I do it :( - I wish she was more like Willow and just got annoyed :evillaugh:
-
Fingers crossed - for Tiger's ultrasound, they shaved her belly, and also part of both her sides, you can see it on some of the photo's I posted of her. I didn't expect it though!!
-
I have fed her as they didn't say anything about starving her. I assume they will only give her a mild sedative anyway? - I just hate putting her through the vet trips as she has had such a rotten life :( - The vet we use now is about 6 miles away as well but better as they are a 24hr one. I'm finally having my xmas lunch with Sharon today so at least I won't be at home fretting all day.
-
Good luck Alice hope it's good news :hug:
-
Good luck Alice, thinking of you today. :hug:
-
Just had my lunch put in front of me (pub lunch with Sharon today ;D - no booze though :no no: ) when the vet called. No sign of any tumour ;D. Her white blood cells have raised enzyme levels in line with a having parasites - he said it is unlikely she has worms given the number of treatments she has had. Nevertheless, he wormed her again. It doesn't explain her hard swollen belly but he thinks her bowel is inflamed. He has prescribed preds. 1/2 tab twice a day for 4 days, followed by 1/2 tab once a day for another 4 days. If she doesn't respond, he will send off a fecal sample to the lab. He said her kidney readings were higher than the last time and borderline CRF. I told him she threw up all her breakfast this morning and he said that will probably explain the dehydration.
So fingers crossed - at least we know she doesn't have cancer ;D
-
brilliant news!!!!!!
-
Anyway, she ran straight up to her room and hid under the bed - for all of 10 seconds until I wafted her Whiskas chicken in gravy - she shot out like lightning and is devouring it :Luv2:
-
oh Mark she must be starving, I'm so glad this has worked out, she deserves a break (and a blue plaque!!)
-
I laid down on the bed up there and she came for a cuddle. She is more affectionate than ever and looks even cuter with her shaved belly & neck :Luv2:
She has had 1/2 tin and no vomiting so will let her sleep her ordeal off - I think it's food in jelly that makes her sick so sticking to the gravy ones for a while.
-
Glad the ultrasound didnt pick anything up ;D
-
Thats wonderful news ;D ;D
-
Great news Mark ;D
-
Brilliant news, I am so pleased for you and Alice.
-
excellent news Mark! you must be so happy for this wee girl!! hope she continues to improve!! ;D
-
Excellent news Mark :hug:
-
Thanks ;D
Now the problem is the pills - why couldn't they give me 2.5mg pills instead of 5mg? - So I have to decide. Big half or little half :Crazy:
Are preds bitter? - I have hidden it in the food and hope she eats it.
-
get yourself a pill cutter, they should be available from the local pharmacy for a pound or so - no pet-friendly home should be without one. They cut the pill precisely down the middle and so you no longer have to make a decision ...
-
Thanks BC ;D
They will probably need to "get the supervisor" :evillaugh:
I bought some cat litter and some rizla in the co-op earlier. The guy serving me who was about 17 had to get a supervisor to swipe a card to sell me the rizla :Crazy:
-
lol Mark!!! you can borrow mine if you like ;D I am working from home this thursday so you can just pop up the road :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
-
So glad to hear that Alice does not have the big "C" Mark, you must be elated! :hug:
-
Thats is wonderfull news for Alice and you. :hug:
-
Brilliant news, what a relief for you
-
Thanks everyone ;D
It's a relief but we still need to sort her out - I am just hoping the steroids work :Luv2:
She is more affectionate than ever - She must have thought I had abandoned her :(

I think being affectionate and sweet is a way of saying we are really good, so dont take us back :Luv:When i brought Phoebe homeshe was so nice i even pickd her up, but it didnt last long and back to her self again. :evillaugh:
I do hope the steroids work for Alice,she is such a lovely girl. :Luv:
-
I wondered what happened - your post disappeared then came back :Crazy:
Maybe we should "rattle their cage" when they are playing up :evillaugh:
Not that Alice plays up :Luv2:
They were saying they will try to shave her without a sedative to see how she goes and I told them she would never scratch or bite :Luv2:
-
:Luv: Gotta love this lady, she's so scrummy :Luv2:
-
Just caught up with this post so glad that the scan was ok, give her a big hug from me and my gang xx :hug:
-
Mark how is Alice today, hope you are both well :hug:
-
She is a big purr ball today and stopping me getting on :evillaugh:
I am now off to the co-op as she is only interested in Whiskas at the moment and none of the dozens of other things I already have :tired:
She is getting braver by the minute and even waited while I did the tray to jump straight in to dirty it again :tired: :evillaugh:
Can steroids give cats a runny nose? - She was asleep on me and had a big dewdrop hanging :sick:
-
She is a big purr ball today and stopping me getting on :evillaugh:
Would you have it any other way, I dont think so :evillaugh: you love it really, dont know about the steroids but Max tends to do the dribble thing when sleeping :drool;
-
But it's from her nose :sick:
-
Thanks ;D

Depends how fussy the cat is, taffy tried preds and i crushed them in his food and he never noticed ;D
-
But it's from her nose :sick:
:rofl: cant help there Im afraid
-
Mark,the reason it disappeared cos i still get the quote part wrong and sometimes my post comes with the quote :Crazy: so i did it again. ;D
I am seeing Caroline the vet tomorrow and she is going to start steroid treatment for Boy, i will ask her if they give runny nose to cats?
-
Thanks ;D
I will keep an eye. I just hope she hasn't caught anything at the vets :(
It can't be the room as it's kept at about 25 degrees 24/7 :evillaugh:
-

was that for you or the cat :rofl:
-
It's for her - It's too hot up there for me but I don't want her to get cold. She has her own bedroom and ensuite :evillaugh:
When she is a bit better, She will be given free reign of the house but at the moment, If I bring her down she just goes back up there :Crazy:
-
why would she want to come down and sit with you when she has all she needs in peace and quite where she is :Luv2:
-
True, she said anything rather than listen to me singing along with Patsy Cline :evillaugh:
-
Patsy Cline is not that bad, oh you mean you singing :rofl: wise clever cat :evillaugh:
how many times has she had to endure Crazy :Luv2:
-
I usually skip that song as I've heard it to many times :evillaugh:
-
Mark, i did ask Caroline if taking steroid causes runny nose? And she said no.
I hpe Alice runny nose has stoped now, and she is better. :hug:
