12/9 Ripley AMBG 108, +18 114, +24 170, vet visit

Yesterday.

Good morning, LL
Ripley surfed safely on a reduced dose last night.
I'm going to skip her shot this morning. No appy, even after a crumb of cypro (a few licks of food, didn't even want a shrimp treat) and I work today, so can't monitor.

She's so tired. I carried her to the LB and she peed in it; then she got out, walked a few steps and laid down. It seems as though she can't catch her breath. Not panting, but her breathing is different. She doesn't leave her rocker on her own, and even when she changes positions it takes a lot out of her.
Still drinking lots of water.
I'm taking her to the vet this afternoon.

Oh Josie, I'm so sorry to hear Ripley feels so bad :sad:
Poor thing, she's been thru a lot lately.
I think it's best you skipped her shot this morning.
That's at least one thing you won't have to worry about.
I hope you can get some answers at the vet today.

Thinking positive thoughts, Josie, for sweet Ripples, prayers, too. Hope the Vet visit goes well.

 

Not sure if I listed the numbers correctly in the subject line. DH ended up working from home today and was able to get some tests, check on eating (ate about 3T food today), and help her with trips to the LB.

Thank you so much for all of your support -- we definitely feel your positivity and hugs.
:YMHUG: :YMHUG: :YMHUG:

Vet drew blood and urine, and results will come back tomorrow. Ripley's temp is 97 (low) and weight is same (12.4 lbs). He's looking to see if her kidneys or anemia are worsening, and testing for p'titis (though she didn't fast).
He wants all meds stopped (AB, insulin, etc) and fluids cut in half (to 50ml).

So that's where we are at. In the 'waiting place.'

Poor girl is exhausted -- we spent 2 hrs at the vet -- they were slammed and running behind. But Ripley's resting on her heated-rocker-by-the-heater, so hopefully she's comfortable and at least semi-content.
I'm not sure if I'll be able to visit condos tonight, but I'll post an update tomorrow when I know more. Hugs to all of LLBeans and scritches to your kitties. Time to go hang out with my girl. cat_pet_icon

 

Hi Josie,

Adding mega feel better vines for Ripley. Hope that the tests show something that is easily fixed. Hugs for you and Miss Rippley :YMHUG: cat_pet_icon

We are sending all manner of feel-better vines to sweet Ripley. I hope that the tests will give an indication of what is bothering her and what can be done to help her. So sorry that the vet's office was so busy and that Ripley had to endure a long wait. We are thinking positively tonight.

I hate the waiting game with test results. Gives our minds too much 'over thinking' time. I am thinking positive get well thoughts for Miss Ripples.
