Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / April 2005Update on Sandy #2
I talked to the vet who treated Sandy yesterday. In a nutshell, it's all tied into her deteriorating kidneys. Decreased blood cells and oxygen, elevated creatnin into high range, decreased erythropoten, kidneys compromised - all contributing to vomiting, anemia, dehydration, chronic.... Bottom line - early warning signal that Sandy is going downhill. About all we can do is keep an eye on her and keep her on the K/D. Possibly sub-Q's in a month or two. Thank you all for caring. Jeanne Ooooooooh. I don't blame your son for not being able to report all that to you; I have medical background and there's one of those items *I* don't understand. But the rest I do....and we will send comfort purrs for Sandy's quality of life from now on and meatloaf meditations for your ongoing care of her faithful d-pet self. I've been there, done that.....to felines.My sympathy to you and your son. >I talked to the vet who treated Sandy yesterday. In a nutshell, it's > all tied into her deteriorating kidneys.

SignatureAdrian (Owned by Snoopy & Bagheera) A house is not a home, without a cat. Once again I say sorry, I lost my Darling Henri R.B. to failing kidneys.I'm so sorry Sandy is going down,I was afraid of cancer when you spoke of his vomiting my dog Sam had similar symptoms to Sandy's and he was found to have cancer, but I didn't like to say anything, sometimes I think you can put a jinx on things, when you say stuff like, Oh yes my cat, or dog, or friend had that, Purrs for Sandy to have a lovely life for as long as he can.

Jean.P. And I'm sorry for your loss of Henri. I know from your previous posts how much you loved Henri. We have lost three cats over the years to kidney failure (Baby, 16; Custard, 19; Philip, 20+) but their symptoms were very different from Sandy's so we didn't recognize the connection until the vet explained it. Thank you for the purrs, we'll do all we can to keep Sandy happy for as long as possible. Best wishes - Jeanne Thanks you for the purrs for Sandy.
