My poor Suzy is so sick. Our emergency vet is treating her with injectable antibiotics and subq fluids while we are waiting for her blood chemistry panel to come back on Monday. We are trying to forcefeed because she has not eaten in days but it is not going too well.
Our vet thinks she has one of two things. Either she has had some kind of bowel perforation and something is still in her abdominal cavity (she is really swollen and full of fluid) or she has FIP. Needless to say I am hoping for the bowel perf as bad as that sounds because at least that can be fixed.
I am so devastated. I can't eat (I've lost 5 lbs this week), I can't work (took vacation days because I figured who cares about work) and I am just beside myself.
I found this little girl last year on the coldest day of the year in my neighbors shrubs hollering to high heaven. She was so cold, she jumped right into my arms and started purring. It was love at first sight!!
I think she was the last of a litter of feral mom that we had been rescuing over the fall and winter of last year.
I am asking everyone here to please keep Suzy in your good thoughts and prayers so she can get better. I love my little girl so much. I just can't lose her.
