They are still doing tests and I have an exit interview at 4 pm. :( She has "a treatable condition" but they are not sure what (which really meant they just aren't ready to tell me). Well, gee thanks. I"ve come home to cry and eat and go back to work which I will leave at 4 and put everyone in a bind (well, TOO BAD. You have kids I have a sick cat). I guess my big hope is that she really CAN feel better, but I have my doubts. Poor Pearl. She just doesn't get ANY breaks. She's a lippy, arrogant and difficult cat who sometimes purrs if I just LOOK at her. She now has arthritis, a heart problem and maybe asthma and maybe something else (I'm guessing some kind of thyroid disorder). The only good news would be if this whatever is also causing the coughing. But I have to remind them that started a long time ago. I just hope she isn't too stressed by being there all day :( Well, I'll let you all know what they say tonight. despondently Karen > They are still doing tests and I have an exit interview at 4 pm. :( She > has "a treatable condition" but they are not sure what (which really meant [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > time ago.

I didn't know they needed to keep a cat that long to do tests. Those must be very comprehensive tests. Plus you have an exit interview?? Purrs for you both. The vet was very concerned about spiking glucose levels. She thinks it's due to the prednisone and so do I, since everytime I give Pearl one she starts acting "sick" for the next day or two. So, we are going to try the aerokat. She has never used one and actually, I think she is glad that I want to try it. She went to fritzthebrave and then called me. She has phoned in a prescription and I ordered a chamber so we will start trying as soon as I get that. No pred in the meantime. Her glucose was around 300 plus her (some other term that I really don't know how to spell) were a little high which is an indication of allergies. So, not as bad as I thought (although the thyroid tests aren't back but I'm pretty sure those are OK - knock on wood). Poor tuckered out little girl!! Me too. > The vet was very concerned about spiking glucose levels.

Poor > tuckered out little girl!! Me too. Thank goodness that's all it was! Purrs for Pearl's continued health and calming, get-some-sleep-tonight purrs for you.

Poor tuckered out little girl!! Me too. Purrs on the way for Pearl. Sam, closely supervised by Mistletoe Karen, When you say the blood glucose was "spiking", do you mean the levels come back down again? I hate to say it, but I wonder if she is now diabetic. 300 is pretty high. Our vet suspects diabetes in anything over 200 in an office visit. Our cat ended up with steroid-induced diabetes. His bg was 250 at the vet's, and about 400 in the labwork. I was mad, we were not told of those risks of steroids and he only had one shot (by a different vet.) Three weeks after that shot, he had lost 3 lbs and was peeing and drinking excessively. None of our cats will ever get steroids again, unless it is life and death. I hope your cat's bg returns to normal. Will they be rechecking it soon? Sorry I don't know your cat's story, sounds like both of you have been through a lot.

Poor tuckered out little girl!! Me too. Hi Karen - I'm glad it wasn't so bad for you and that you finally get to try the aerokat! Purrs all around and I know you'll hold her close tonight :-) Susan M Otis and chester > Poor tuckered out little > girl!! Me too. Purrs coming over for the both of you. I'm really glad that your vet wants to try the aerokat. I was always worried about the prednisone, that's why I agreed to try the other med with Nikki. Lots and lots of purrs for Pearl's glucose leevls to get back down to where they're supposed to be and that the aerokat turns out to be effective. -- Marina, posting from work (but I think I have my home puter sorted now) > The vet was very concerned about spiking glucose levels.
