Prayers for Lucy. I hope she's feeling better by the time I catch up on my
email.

The oncologist and internist can not figure out what is wrong with
her. The things that can cause abdominal fluids are lymphoma, FIP, a
ruptured intestine, pancreatitis, and other infection. She has some
symptoms of each, but not enough of any of them to make it seem like the
diagnosis. They did ultrasound and biopsy, looked at the fluid again, and
could not come up with anything. They sent out cytology of fluid and biopsy
of lymph nodes and sent us home with her. Upon getting home, she looks
much worse. She does not want to eat except for a few pieces of EVo dry
food, and I am afraid to give her more of it due to her IBD. She is kind
of hunched up and looks nauseous and out of it. She lets me pet her and
purrs, but really looks awful. She did not look this way before I took her
to the hospital, or even while so feverish last night. The oncologist had
said that if her clinical signs get worse, e.g. she stops eating, to bring
her back and admit her for more tests.
I am so loathe to do that, especially today right from getting home. I
am going to give her a few hours and see if she gets any better. I would
feel better if she would just curl up and sleep, but she doesn't. I
offered her her turkey and she looked like she was going to be sick from
smelling it. She was also a little wobbly coming up the stairs. We thought
maybe they had tranquilized her to get the biopsy but they said no. She has
not really eaten now since last night (I withheld food this morning so
don't know if she would have eaten or not).
Any thoughts appreciated, and prayers definitely appreciated. Very
exhausted and worried and sad here.
