I just received this email from a friend oof ours and instead of just telling you the symptoms I'm including the message below. Please if anyone has any suggestions let me know and I'll pass them on. Thanks so much all. Mupcat
Just wanted to tell you that our little Lucy is in the hospital sick with an unknown disease, probably a liver disease. She had been vomiting bile for a couple weeks and when I took her to the vets, her liver panels were outrageous, so we had to take her to a specialty hospital where she was shaved and given a liver ultrasound. She was diagnosed with Fatty Liver Disease, and a tube was put in her esophagus for feeding. She's been there since Wednesday. We went to visit her today and the fairly lively cat we took in is now extremely ill. We don't know why, so they increased her meds and the method of feeding (she's also on intraveinous fluids). She was very groggy and had diahrea and is still vomiting. The bill so far (not including today forth for the hospital) is $2250. The doc said she might need to do a biopsy Monday to see what's wrong with her liver, but we're not sure that is such a good idea. She might have cancer or lymphoma, but only a biopsy can tell. It's all confusing and really depressing. Monday we will probably have to decide whether to put her down because if she is not responding to treatment, then it means she has something awful. Bad news huh? Thought I'd let you know cuz you are a pet lover. If you know anything about this, let me know. She was vomiting, then stopped eating, etc.
