Speckles update
Thank you all so very much for your responses to my plea for purrs for
Speckles. I'm overwhelmed. You are the kindest folks - I know your caring is genuine and is very much appreciated. I had hoped at a minimum that Speck would hold on at least through the holidays but at this point I doubt she'll make it through the weekend. We took her to the vet again Wednesday; the news is not good. A new development shows that her liver is nearly shot - the test results were that damage was severe - off the charts, over 100 points above the highest "normal" range. It's also affecting her kidneys. The vet doesn't know what "assaulted" the liver. Shocking, too, is that X-rays showed the blasted hairball has returned, despite all the goop put down her to prevent it. We ended up with four different pills to give her - one once a day, one twice a day, one three times a day, and another twice a day. Much of her day is spent popping pills!! But she is fading and our hearts are broken. Again, thank you for your support. Jeanne |

Grant had that enormous hairball but it was on account of the stomach cancer (which was not detectable on xray as it was not a "tumor" kind but the kind where the wall of the stomach thickens and is abnormal). I suppose the normal juices just weren't flowing. Purrs that Speckles remaining time is quality time. Give her skritches and kissies from us. |
