[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 51280"] I visited her tonight. She's very weak. [img]:sad:[/img] She didn't move much at all - just got into a comfortable lying down position and moved her head a bit. She did purr, very softly, and did the kneading thing with her paws the entire time I was there. The vet said that the low red blood count indicates a chronic condition. He thinks she's had mild, but chronic kidney disease and that a lot of animals are able to compensate for that which is why we didn't notice it before. However, something is affecting her liver and then she became dehydrated and that makes the kidneys worse. The liver problem was caught early, though, as she's not jaundiced. However, he's not thrilled that she's not perking up more with the fluids. She did complain more today when they put the IV catheter in than she did yesterday and that's a good sign. When he took her temp last night, she didn't protest a bit. He's going to check on her in the morning and he'll give me an update. They'll redo the blood work on Monday to see if anything has changed. Thank you for the hugs and good thoughts. It was so hard to leave her tonight. [/QUOTE]
