Sabra Update
The news is not good.
Took him to the vet yesterday for bloodwork. He was dehydrated and got fluids. He has cataracts and some other eye problem of old age. His weight is down to 7.44 pounds. They had a difficult time drawing blood from him, because his veins are so thin and fragile. Got the bloodwork back today. One of his liver enzymes is elevated, he is anemic, and his blood counts are way off. I took him back in for some fluids and penicillin. We're trying an appetite stimulant, Nutri-Cal, Laxatone, and antibiotics on the off chance he has a systemic infection, but both the vets and I suspect he has cancer. The one vet suspects, because of the bloodwork, that it is a lymphoma. After I brought him home tonight, he was walking and started crying and suddenly couldn't walk right. His legs were warm, so it doesn't appear he threw a clot, but I have no idea what is wrong. He still won't eat, at this point, at all. I don't think he has much longer left with us, even though I am hoping against hope that somehow, it really is just an infection and the antibiotics will clear it up. Purrs, please, if you can spare any, for my baby Sabra.
