Requesting Purrs for my Romeo, please.

Hi Group,

I'm sorry I haven't been posting much lately. I've been so busy, but I do
try to keep up to date with what's going on here.

Anyway, my Romeo is in hospital now. He was admitted yesterday because he
has been losing weight gradually and eating less and less. I had scheduled
an appointment for next thursday, but I didn't think I should wait until
then, so I took him to the hospital yesterday (saturday) morning. The animal
hospital (http://www.lortsmith.com/) is going to do a range of tests to see
what is going on with him.

They've had him on IV since yesterday morning to rehydrate him. He is
feeling a little better today and eating a little.

One lot of tests showed that he may be anaemic or suffering from Leukemia.
He has elevated white blood cells and his liver may not be functioning
normally. He will be having his liver x-rayed today to see if there is a
tumor on his liver. He will also have another blood test today, specifically
for liver function. They may also have to do an ultrasound, depending on
what the x-rays reveal today.

Romeo will be celebrating his 12th birthday on March 1st.

I will keep you posted.

Purrs to all,

Purrs to all,
I do hope this is something (easily!) treatable. Romeo is too young to
be having serious health problems!

Purrs on the way!

Many purrs for poor Romeo. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it's
something minor and easily treatable.
