Bailey was admitted to the hospital tonight!

I took Bailey to the emergency vet tonight after her appetite had decreased considerably over the past few days. I feel so bad for leaving her there, but they were concerned about hepatic lipidosis (as am I) or pancreatitis. I'm so worried about my baby! They're going to redo blood work tonight and get her on IV fluids, and they're planning on giving her anti-nausea injection(s). Tomorrow, she's going to be seen by an internal medicine specialist to see if she needs an ultrasound or endoscopy or something more in-depth.

I hate how quickly this all happened. I miss her so much already, and I'm so worried about her. I just hope that if there IS something wrong with her that they'll be able to find it. I don't even care how much it costs- I just want her to get better!

Please send positive, healing vibes to Bailey! She's my WORLD, and I can't stand that she's not with me. I feel so bad that she's stuck at the vet instead of at home! She'll be at the e-vet all night and probably most of tomorrow, so she'll need all the love she can get while she's stuck away from home!

Thank you everyone, and please think of Bailey!

Bailey, baby, I'm praying for your swift recovery and my girlies send special love and snuggles to you, and to your Mom, as well!

Sending lots of vibes and prayers that Bailey will be fine

Thank you! I appreciate it, and I'm sure Bailey does too.

I just spoke with the vet regarding her blood work results. I didn't get all the values since I'm planning on getting a printout tomorrow, but she said there were 2 results that stuck out. Her creatinine is slightly elevated, and so is her calcium level. Her creatinine is 2.5 (normal range up to 2.4), and her calcium level is 13.2 (normal range up to 11.3). Her BUN level is 17 (normal up to 36). When she had blood work a month ago, creatinine was 2.0, BUN was 30, and her calcium was 11.2, I believe. I'm not sure why her BUN went down, but the vet said the elevated creatinine could be due to muscle waste (I think?) related to her anorexia. The vet said that her blood work still looks good overall. They'll be doing further diagnostics tomorrow.

I don't know how I'll be able to sleep tonight!

Bailey

I called this morning to check on her. They said nothing's really changed. I don't know what I really expected, but I at least wanted to know she was okay. She's supposed to see the specialist at some point this morning. I'm supposed to call if I haven't heard anything by 1:30ish.

There's a part of me that really feels like this is my fault. Sometimes I feel like I don't pay close enough attention to her, and then other times, I feel like I obsess over her too much. Did she stop eating because she's stressed out that I keep running her to the vet? Is she mad at me for making her take lactulose all the time? Have I been making MY stress too obvious, and she's been picking up on it? I feel like I've failed her somewhere. I feel like I could've done more, or maybe I should've done less. I know I had to take her in last night due to the risk of hepatic lipidosis, but maybe she wouldn't have stopped eating if I'd just given her some space.

I feel like a bad mom. I'm so sorry Bailey!

You did the right things.

Was she on some antibiotics? She had some dental issues going on, if I remember correctly, is that right?

It's not your fault.

It's obvious you are a loving and caring meowmy. Kitties get sick sometimes, just as humans do. You're doing the best you can.

Sending good vibes for Bailey for a speedy recovery.

Prayers and vibes to Bailey and calming vibes to you.

Im sending you emense vibes! Stay strong for your baby. I wish both of you the best! She is lucky to have such a carrying and dedicated mommy such as yourself!

Sending out get well vibes and prayers to your precious Bailey!

Sending lots of love and good vibes to you and little Bailey. I hope that all goes well and that everything is okay.

Many prayers and vibes for Bailey
