Not yet. She is at the vet tonight. They could not get urine today. So they are going to get urine, and they syringe fed her for today. I do syringe feed her, but she vomits it up about half the time. I think if she does not have diabetes, then they will run a thyroid. He is ruling out one thi

Kelley - she does not have diabete - her gloucose is not high at all -- you need to bring her home -- many cats do not pee when stressed and it's really bad for a kitty with liver problem. They can easily stick a needle to get sterile urine sample if you need to.. and she is not going to pee there

Kelley - now I am looking at Kitty's bloodwork, I am pretty sure that you meant TBIL and not TFIL for Joey's blood work. IF so, I am worried that there is a chance that he may have FIP... here's the blood work you emailed to me earlier .. Elevated AMYL, GLOUB, TBL and low RBC - is there anyway th

Lipidosis is the same thing as fatty liver disease, if I'm not mistaken. Is the vet saying Joey has this??? This is very serious if so; it's related to the lack of food. I hope Joey is ok Kelley. :) Wendy --- Kelley Saveika <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Yes, Kitty's bloodwork (they called her

Hi, Kelley - she vomits because she feels nauseated when the food is put in her mouth and she is nauseated because of her liver problem and it's a common sytmpoms for liver problems. Liver has a great recoupbability to recover, however, early treatment is very critical.. once a cat becomes jaundic
