Hi Belinda,
Could you please add Peanut to the special needs list? She came to me 2 months ago with 2 of her companions, from a bad situation, & she is now having issues with her liver. I am waiting on results of her bloodwork & urinalysis. I have been syringe feeding her through the night, but she is very weak this morning. She stopped eating abruptly the night before last & this crash come on like load of bricks. I am floored. She has jaundice & her urine is a dark orangey yellow. I'm praying like crazy that we'll be able to turn this around with the force feedings. Depending on what the vet says, I may opt for a feeding tube. I'm pretty scared but trying to remain optimistic, since that's what Peanut needs from me right now & I have read of cats recovering from liver issues. She's 18 years old & I know they can't live forever, but I've only had her for 2 months & I just want to have longer to show her that this world can be a decent place & that she is loved before she moves on. But, then again, it never seems like it was long enough when the time comes. I just hope it isn't her time yet, selfish as that may sound. I am determined, though, to do whatever is best for her, to the best of my knowledge. Please keep my precious baby in your prayers. Thanks for listening.
