Re: Lucy very sick again

Michelle,
    Oh my god...I'm praying that is isn't a tumor behind her eyes and nasal passage. Please don't let this be happening to Lucy!
I know there was another person on this list that had the same thing as my Taz.
This is exactly what happen on my original Taz. The only way to find out is get X-rays done, Biopsy and a Cat Scan if possible. My favorite Vet told me this was the secondary illness due to Taz being Felv positive. Taz didn't eat like normal and was getting lethargic. I then went to a Specialist/Surgeon to see if we can do anything. We had decided to do the surgery to eliminate the masses. He was shocked when he had open Taz's nasal passage. He said he had it for quite some time that it just started showing obvious signs which was the swelling in his eye. This was so sudden when it started to protrude out. I was like oh my god. The Specialist said he was amazed on how loving Taz was and getting around the way he did as sick as he was.
I have noticed in cats/kittens they do not show pain or other illnesses like us humans until it's too late. I spent well over $5000 to help Taz but unfortunately it didn't go well. I end up losing him after surgery because he wouldn't wake up after numerous hours. I let him go to the bridge.
 
Does she have any swelling around her eyes?
Please get her checked out A.S.A.P.
Lucy is in my thoughts and prayers!

I know she must seem like a yoyo or rollercoaster at this point, but please say prayers for Lucy.  She has been extremely lethargic since yesterday and today only ate 1/2 a jar of baby food.  She is a bit stuffed up and her nose is a little bubbly, so I am hoping it is just the cold she has not shaken. I have a vet aptmt tomorrow at 1 to get her an I-R shot.  She had some blood on her bowels today too.  I am hoping that she just has not shaken the cold and it is bothering her, and that the change to baby food and getting cold meds is just irritating her IBD.  But she has some weird things, too. Like if I pet her head or kiss it in certain spots where I usually do, she closes one eye and keeps it closed for a while like something is wrong with it. About 1/2 hour ago she also pawed at her eye like it was hurting right after I pet her.  It makes me worry there is something like a tumor in her head or something. Has anyone seen this symptom related to a cold, or to anything else? 
 
She came off clavamox after only 4 days due to it giving her bad diarrhea, but she seemed to recover except for a slight sniffle and occasional sneezes.  Then she really backslid starting yesterday. No fever, and in fact her temp today was low for her-- 100.8-- though still in low normal range.
 
Please send her prayers and energy, and let me know if any thoughts come to mind about what could be going on or what I should do.
 
Thanks,
Michelle
