Discharged!

Woke up and called the vet. Carly seems to be OK but didn't know if she would be discharged. Mitsuru has an appointment at 11am to see the vet because I found a bit of blood and mucus in her stool. That really scared me so I wanted her to see her. Took Carly's previous appointment to get her teeth clean and extracted [which was postponed due to the unknown illness] and took Mitsuru to see the vet instead. The vet gave her special food and gave her a complete check up to see if she had anything. We need to get a fresh sample of her stool and take it to them as soon as possible.

Carly has an appointment tomorrow at 8:20 for the ophthalmologist, as a cancellation was made. She was also discharged from the vet and came home. the technician was going to put her in with Mitsuru but she started to hiss at Carly. I decided to cover Carly and bring her with me in my arms. Once home she seem like totally happy and went to her favorite chair but on her way Mitsuru was all upset and seem to be not happy that Carly's back. gave Carly her meds at 8:30pm. Seems to be eating OK but sleeps a lot.

The night was quiet but both cats stayed away from each other.

Visiting Carly

Carly's in the hospital and Mimi is just wondering where she went. I wonder what she's going to do when she comes home? I called to find out what is going on with Carly. They told me that she had seen the vet and had Iv once again with her meds [Prednisone 5mg, Clavamoz 62.5mg]. The dosage has change into pills... We went to see her. Brought her bed and finally was able to eat with me... Spend about 2hrs with he.

The cutest kitty 7month old name Raoul... Was there for castration... :(

Carly seem more herself when we left and the vet was kind of surprise. Will see if they can get an appointment for the ophthalmologist as soon as we can, because the 30 of June is a bit too far and this might be an emergency. She also said that she might get to leave tomorrow. Another night at the hospital for Carly.

Scared that Mitsuru will get use to being on her own and try to be mean to Carly when she comes back.

Carly in hospital

Carly's is sick from what, we don't know... What cause it, still a mystery... Anxious, nervous and praying she'll be OK!

Its been a week that I've noticed somethings different with Carly. She was walking very cautiously, any noise made her jump, she started to eat less, when jumping of the couch or chair she was very hesitant to jump but the final straw was this Sunday when her pupils didn't react to light... They stayed big and when I tried to put a string in front so she can play she ignored it. I stayed up until early morning reading all about different eye diseases... I got about 3hrs of sleep and woke up to feed them. Called the vet and they said it was urgent for her to go in... We were there in 20min... We got there the technician first examine her and wrote some info on her chart. After about 5-10 min the vet showed up and did her test. BFG and me told her of her problems that we had been noticing for the past week...

I also told her that Carly had an appointment on Wed for blood work for her cleaning and extractions but that was put on hold... She said the most important thing is to deal with the problems she's having. It could be many things she said hypertension, diabetes [Carly weights now 9.48lb], or unknown disease. I wanted to cry but stop myself. BFG saw me struggling so he took over and started to talk instead. The vet checked her breathing and heart... She said she noticed a slight arrhythmia, that's scary. Carly's only 4yrs old... Also she saw how cautious she walked... I'm so scared!

The vet decide it would be best for Carly to spend 24hrs at the hospital for observation and where she'll have tests done: complete blood work, 2 x-rays, blood pressure taken, ecg [if needed], IV [if needed] and see if she's eating OK. As she's been eating less, it could be that her teeth hurt too as she needs extractions and deep cleaning which has been postponed do to these unknown problems that have arised.

I knew something was not right with Carly.. I had this gut intuition and BFG just thought I was too sensitive. He doesn't spend as much time with them as I do and when my kitties are not 100% I can see right away. To the vet we go! =^.-= I love them so much, they're part of my family and will do anything for them to be OK.

Now it's the wait and see time...

Called
3:05pm liver and kidney are OK. Vet is operating will call me to talk to me about the results of the other tests...

Vet called
5:40pm - on looking closer they found kidney stones. Carly seems not to want to eat and got hooked to IV... She'll try to see if she can make her eat something and will give her antibiotics. Also, Carly's heart seems a bit not much but a bit big. Her lungs and arteries are fine. Tomorrow she'll see the vet and a call will be placed to the eye vet to see if they can see her as soon as possible and they'll call me for further updates. I been thinking what could she have ingested that made her so sick. Tomorrows white blood cell count will reveal more but for now she's still looking depressed and not eating.. Worried... no sleep...
I'm worried about Carly so very much... I can't seem to sleep... she's at the hospital for observation...
