Ginger needs to stay at the hospital

Yay!! That's wonderful news Hedi!

thank you all guys so much . I do have hope , there is to much life in her to give up . Ginger is very alert , not playful but alert and is watching everything what is going on . She did not do that on the weekend at all .

Keeping my fingers crossed, and keeping the good vibes coming!!

Today I brought Ginger in for her Surcery tomorrow , please keep her in your prayers and thoughts . Thank you .

I have worn a T-Shirt for the last 2 days to sleep in and told them at the vet to place it in her little kennel she needs to stay . My poor baby was crying while driving there and she has the cutest baby meow I ever herd . That was so heart breaking for me to listening to while driving there That poor thing has no clue what is going on now . She did really good lately and ate very good and was very alert .She also stop trying to eat the litter . But I could tell she still was not feeling well in her eyes . She had fever sometimes , more in the evening befor I gave her her medication . I will miss her tonight sleeping with me on my pillow , my sweet little girly .

Awwww, my positive thoughts are with Ginger, please let us know how she is doing.

Oh sweetie.. good vibes for Ginger!!!!! I know how horrible it is to take them to the vet.. they're meowing, not knowing what's going on

Hopefully some good news will come out of this!!! **many hugs**

You know we are wishing the best for your tortie girl, hopefully this will bring good news and all the information needed to cure whatever is going on,

Thank you both so much Sicy and Pat & Alix

Hedi, you have my heart and Ginger has my prayers. I hope it all works out for the both of you.

Thank you M.A.

I'm so sorry that Ginger has to go through all of this. Just wanted to let you know that you all have been on my mind and I will keep her in my thoughts and prayers. Hope everything turns out alright.

I am so sorry to hear about your baby. If it should turn out to be lymphoma, make sure your vet discusses ALL the options with you. Lymphoma responds well to chemotherapy. My kitty has lymphoma and we are currently doing chemotherapy, so far he is doing very well and I am hoping for the best. It is very expensive but I wouldn't have it any other way. My thought are with you little baby tonight.

Thank you all so much for your prayers and thoughts .

So far no wort from the vet ..... still waiting for her to call me .

The vet just called me back . She said that she was not able to do the operation on Ginger due to her low blood count and may lose Ginger on the operating table . Her blood count were only by 13 and is suposed to be over 20 - 23 I guess . She will stay over the weekend in the hospital now and will give her some differend medication to build her up again incluting some Irion . Dr. Heather told me that Ginger is very sick and not doing good , but she is hanging in there . The vet also said that it may not be canser and may be a blood deseas , but she still will make the operation to make sure it is not canser . The hole thing don't sound good now to me . What kind of blood deseas could there be ? I need to drive me son to school , football night again .

Hedi,
I'm so sorry...yes, if your vet was saying her hematocrit (hct) was 13 that is very low, normal is 30-45. I have no idea what would cause that kind of anemia in a non-crf kitty (this happens with kidney failure kitties, and of course, there are other reasons I'm not familiar with).

I will say a prayer for your sweet girl,

Oh Hedi, I'm so sorry to hear Ginger has to stay at the hospital over the weekend!

Sending good vibes and (((Hugs))) to you and Ginger!

I wonder if it come from the flea infestation she had when Kim got her from that breeder ? Kim told me that all cats were infestet and mattet and really bad shape . Oh yes , they all had earmite too . But maybe it is something else , the vet said she may has some kind of blood deseas .

Hedi,
Ask the vet to tell you what disease it might be, then we can help you research it and get more information. One disease is Hemobartonella (also known as Feline Infectious Anemia)...I've been doing a little research for what might be the disease your vet is thinking of.

Don't give up on your girl, I know she's sick but it may be something that can be dealt with, and that you can help her recover from.

When my daughters cat got sick last year, he was really severely anemic. They thought it might be Hemobartonella, but in the end it wasnt as best as the vet could tell. It is caused by fleas from what I understand. I'm not saying thats what your cat has, but thats one thing that causes a disease in the blood. I know when he got sick I looked up everything under the sun to see if I could find out what it was. I sure hope she will get better and come home soon. My thoughts are with you and Ginger.

Thank you all so much

Pat & Alix that was the wort the vet used I believe Hermobartonella . But she is not sure off that , she said it could be that she has that . How do they find out for sure ??? Is there some kind of test so they can find out ? If there is I would like to know , then when I call tomorrow the vet again I can ask for that test .
