Ok, so background, especially about why we aren’t immediately at the vet. My baby, my dearest 15 year old flower, has nearly died at lesser three times in three years.
1. Hyperthyroidism. In addition to 6 months of fluids, meds, and tons of rotisserie chicken to finally get her to eat, I was an hour from lyrtying her down or an E Tube.
2. Took her to internal medicine specialist. Cholangeohepatitis, potential small cell lymphoma. I didn’t biopsy because the treatments are the same. She started eating, stopped throwing up and enjoyed life.
3. Her liver failure slowed but didn’t remit. They are shocked she does so well with bilirubin that high.
4. Mammary cancer. One year ago this month. At her recent f/u appointment three months ago she was already developing rear leg weakness; vet sakdpossible muscle loss from chronic prednisolone (only 2.5 mg per day).
Well over three weeks now, it’s awful. Went from no stairs to no jumping up to no jump jumping down....and she’s dragging her legs today. I’m bawling. I’ve given b12 injections. She’s eating. Purrs when I hold her, but can’t ambulate T all.
Please!! Anything g??
