Dear All,

Samson is at the vets. The vet said he was going to give him a shot to rehydrate him, he has been put on an IV and will have to stay at the vets at least for the weekend.

He is very sick and he could die
I am so scared I am going to lose him. It turns out he has hepatitis feline pancreatis. This was discovered by an ultrasound. This means that the fluids in the pancreas aren't coming out as they should and instead of functioning within the pancreas, it is doing so out of the pancreas. This can potentially lead to massive organ break down.

I'm trying hard to stay positive, Samson has a strong will and I believe in my heart that as soon as he feels better again, he *will* eat ... but I can't help but be scared. If Samson starts to eat again he has a good chance of making it, if not ....

I have been praying and praying and begging Our Dear Lord to save him, please send him some prayers and good vibes, he desperately needs it.

Sweetie, I'm so sorry you and Samson are going thru this. Got my fingers crossed that your baby improves soon.

Dear All,

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your prayers and good wishes
Samson and I are both very thankful for your support
and help.

Well just to let you all know, I went to see him today and thankfully he is doing much better. His coat looked better and he wasn''t so gaunt. His eyes were bright, he was alert and active and glad to see me


The vet has been injecting him with an antibiotic and feeding him intravenously.

But he's still not out of the woods as he still not eating on own yet. But I have very high hopes now that once the antibiotics kick in he will do much better. The vet told me about 72 hours to start getting results


I am going to visit him again tomorrow and I will let you know of his progress.

Thank you all again for your prayers, thoughts and good vibes, it is wonderful to have friends like all of you.


With much gratitude,
