Thank You

My Baby had her checkup and blood work this evening.....she has a number

of problems that old cats tend to get.....the vet also heard some strange noise

in her breathing, and her little heart is beating too fast. The main problem is her

severe weight loss....she is only 5.3 pounds now:( She is eating very well, but

almost always hungry. She eats a full can of Natural Balance LID food, and has

a bowl of dry NB out all day to snack on.At least the vet (who was a very kind lady)

said she was well hydrated and her kidneys seem good. She thinks her symptoms

are pointing to hyperthyroidism.....which is what I suspected. At least she does not

think it is diabetes, which was one of my fears, or kidney disease. If it is her thyroid

then at least I can give her pills to help. My Mom has had a lot of experience with this condition

with her cats also. I don't get the test results until tomorrow at the soonest....I just pray

she is going to be OK. I felt so bad when they had to take her away from me when

they had to do the blood draw. She had the saddest expression in her eyes as she looked

at me when she was being carried away:(Before they took her started to cry, and gave her

a kiss, and told her I love her, and that she would be OK. I can't imagine my life without

her....she is a huge part of me......I have to try and stay strong for her. I will give a update

here when I get the results....thank you.....especially all of my cherished contacts and friends

on Flickr....for your concern. It means a great deal to me:)
