I'm sorry, Indra.
I just got a call from the vet about Loki's test results. The news isn't good. All his kidney numbers are way too high and the vet is recommending kitty hospitalisation for a couple of days so he can get 24 hour care to give Loki the best chance of getting those numbers down. I really can't afford this now, but I want to give Loki the best chance.
I hate this. I just hope I'm not making him suffer more, just because I don't want to let him go.
The vet doesn't really know what's up with Worf this time - maybe bad arthritis. She was given pain medication, metacam, that I'm to try every other day (if she does okay on it and doesn't throw up, have bloody stool/urine - lovely side effects ) and then take her back to get her blood tested to see if the meticam messed her up - if it works. He didn't seem too concerned about the hair loss.
Oh no. How old is he? If he can get through the hospitalization ok then he could easily have many more years with a change in diet and/or you giving him subq fluids at home. Our old family cat lived with CRF for 3 years after she was diagnosed until age 19. I know it can seem like they are suffering or feel terrible at times because the disease really has its ups and downs but if they can get him stable he should be ok.
It looks like Worf probably has cancer of the mesentery (abdominal lining). She has a lot of fluid in her abdomen and the ultrasound showed several nodules. They're running tests on the fluid sample, but most likely it is cancer .
The vet gave me an appetite stimulant to try and to keep giving her sub q fluids. We'll see how she does.
I'm sort of relieved to finally have an answer and at the same time really bummed about what the answer is.
Worf was put to sleep this morning. She had trouble breathing last night and couldn't walk.
This was the hardest thing I ever did and my heart is broken.
