Thanks you guys
The vet hasn't been able to diagnose anything yet. Meetoo is still in
hospital. A second blood test result will come back Monday. The only thing
that's out of place in the potassium level is low. There's no change in her
kidneys according to the blood test yesterday.
The vet said she may be just aging. She had been eating very little this
week at home.
I saw Meetooo this afternoon at the hospital. She seemed the same. She
was also scared to be there at the hospital.
I'm starting to think that Meetoo was quietly in her own way, trying to die
here at home. The last three days that she was home, she kept trying to
position herself up against my arm or side to keep warm. She hadn't done that
in years.
I cried when I read all your responses and purrs to my post. I'm still
crying. It means more than you can possibly know , for me to see your
responses
there.
When I left Meetoo today after my visit with her, I told her it's ok if she
wants to go and she doesn't have to worry about me.
I've always planned to bring her home no matter what.
Thanks so much everyone. I'll keep writing.

Sue, of course, no one will know but your vet and you if this is really
serious enough to be "her time" but I thought you might be interested in the

I don't know how old Meetoo is, but if she does have some kidney problems,
it may still be manageable now that you know about it. As the article
indicates there may be other causes but it does not seem to be impossible to
manage and she may very well have a chance at some more quality time with
you. Take care and keep us posted.

Susan, I am thinking of you and Meetoo (such a cute name). Sometimes they look
so sick and miserable and then they wind up bouncing back for quite a long
time.
