Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / November 2005Purrs please...Omar (and Celeste) TW)
Omar, my poor little orange guy is not doing well at all. Was back at the vet's this a.m. with him thinking this was it; he has been getting steadily thinner and looking less well since the past weekend. He wouldn't eat last night or this morning. My best friend Kristin met me there and she and I and my vet all discussed what to do. Omar apparently was quite dehydrated (I didn't pick up on it because he's so very thin now). So we're going to try and rehydrate him, check his electrolyte levels (he got both prednisone shots this past weekend) and see if he needed any additional prednisone . It has occurred to us that Omar may have other unknown health problems that we don't know about (maybe cancer?) but I just can't bring myself to subject him to anything too invasive at this point when he is already feeling so badly. I told my daughter Celeste this a.m. before I took her to school that Omar was just looking very badly and I was taking him in this morning. She asked me if I thought Omar was going to make it to the end of the year and I told her I thought it was very possible he would not. How could I tell her that I thought he might not make it to the end of this day...so please, if you can, send purrs for them both to have the chance to be with each other a little while longer. Will let you all know when I know more. Sorry, I know this is a sad post. It's just so hard.

Poor guy! I hope that the re-hydration gives him a little more time to spend with Celeste and the rest of you so you can enjoy whatever time you all have left together. Purrs for all of you.

It's just so hard. > Christine So far, not much new to report--he's been on IVs since yesterday and I went to see him last night. He managed a purr for me when I was petting him. His bloodwork shows that he's also anemic (I gather a week ago he was at 37 and now he's at 27); I've been struggling with whether to put him through an ultrasound today because I don't know if there is anything we "fix" given his current condition if we do find a treatable cause; so far, I told my vet it's okay to do it but I am just feeling so inadequate. I'm going to see him again when visiting hours start in about 1:30 hours. Many, many thanks to ya'll for all your kind messages of support; it means a lot.

I hope the medics can find out what is wrong and find a way to give Oscar more time with you and Celeste. These are indeed most difficult times.
