It was an unfun visit for both of us but we are both back home. The likely hood of her having consumed a mouse is probably nil because cat’s usually like to eat 1/2 and then show their owner the other 1/2. It’s not out of the realm of possibilities but if I want to confirm if she does or doesn’t have worms, they need a stool sample.
They did blood work and the vet is interested to see where her Thyroid and other values are at. Right now the preliminary diagnosis is that it is her IBD flaring up. It will be as late as Friday before I get results. My hope is that they arrive tomorrow.
Increasing her medicine was a smart move and I found out a little bit of laxative won’t hurt her now and then. The risk is that she will dehydrate if I use it every day. I am also supposed to continue giving her fluids once per week. Gator does a really good job in keeping herself hydrated but I know what to watch out for and when it is time to push some fluids.
For now it’s keep feeding her as much as she wants and we should know more when the blood results come in. The bill for this visit wasn’t cheap because of the blood work but we really needed to get that done as that is where all of the answers will be found. You can only tell so much by looking at the outside.
Gator isn’t happy with me, but I know that will be a temporary thing and she will go back to being my best friend, especially when her tummy starts growling.
The work day is done so I am on my way up to see her and hope that I get a good nights rest! Fingers crossed for the very best outcome.
