Elvis Update :(

I just got back from my vet & thankfully, my "real" vet was there but it's
really bad news.
He could feel tumors on his kidney and said by the bloodwork he appears to
be in
kidney failure. He kept him to put him on IV's and take xrays, etc. He's
lost 1.3 lbs. in only
9 days. I can go visit tomorrow because they have hours from 8-12.
I know there's nothing they can do for him if that's the case. Off topic,
but I have so many
other bad things going on in my life now that this is just going to put me
over the edge.
My heart feels like it was ripped out. He is the sweetest cat. Why does
this **** have to
happen? I've never been so sad in my life. I can't stop crying.
Mr. Wiz, where are you?

Sorry to hear this, it really stinks.

You will eventually get through it though, even though it seems like you
won't.

Stay strong.

Poor Elvis. I had a feeling Tapazole was not the problem. I'm
so sorry you have to go through this.

**I am so sorry to hear this, Carol. I know what you are going through,
believe me! My 19 1/2 year old boy, Blue, passed away almost exactly 3
months ago and my heart is still torn in two. I, also, experienced several
other tragedies that came at the exact same time :-(.

Anyway, my heart goes out to you and Elvis. And heck, who knows, you might
have him for several months yet to come, and maybe even longer :-)! Lets
hope so! In the meantime, give him whatever he *will* eat, such as, chicken
breast, oven roasted turkey and/or ham, Whatever he will eat. He needs his
strength. You might also try the Whiskas brand "cat milk" which my Blue
found tasty, it has some good nutritional supplements in it. Please keep us
posted.

| I'm
| so sorry you have to go through this.

If you wouldn't of been such a bitch.. you
wouldn't have a need
to apologize, to anyone.

My vet today showed me the report showing his T4 was actually LOW! No
wonder he felt worse
on the tapazole. I think my vet was ****ed & the other vet will hear about
it.
He said, OMG, stop giving him the tapazole!!!
My other cat, Randi, is spooked now because I came back WITHOUT Elvis!
He always sees him get stuck in the carrier, whisked away & comes back in a
couple
hours. Now Randi won't let me anywhere near him! lol
Thank you for your thoughts.
