minnie wasjust treated less than two weeks ago for an abdominal abcess; i noticed that she hadn't had a bowel movement for a few days and took her into animal emergency.... two drain tubes were put in and some oral antibiotics...also fluids as her system was weak from the high fever....
she did ok after the proceedure... ate ok... took her into a new vet that came highly recommended. she IS awesome.
she said that minnie's recent medical incident was probably due to the FELV and her weakened immune system... she put her on some more antibiotics...( which have really seemed to help ) but was still not geting enough fluid so i had to take her in twice last week for sub-q's.... she hates these and it stresses her so that i would like to try another approach. my new vet was going out of town this weekend and wouldn't be back until next week. she said she would be available by phone if i had any concerns.... minnie's new doc did prepare me that minnie was facing some pretty dire realities... she said there were a number of things we might try and echoed my concerns about quality of life.... i adore this kitten ( well she is 10 years old but has always been so tiny).... i just want what is best for her...
