Thanks for merging them together

Thanks for your wishes

My kitty still is not out of the woods but is doing better. She has gained .4lbs since Sunday. Her PCV level went up by 3. She still is a little weak. They gave her another kind of pill so she is on 2 kinds now. They want to see her back in about a week to recheck her PCV again. All and all she looks like she's going to get better hopefully its before Christmas

She's gorgeous.I am thinking good thoughts for her! - and those are for you!

thank you thank you

I just pray that her PCV level is back to normal, Last Friday it was only 17 and normal is like 41 or something.. So i am taking her in a bit for her check up.. Hopefully she's put on some more weight.. And she hasn't been grooming herself. I'm gonna have to give her a bth.. Can you all say some vibes for Molly.. I will update everyone when i get back

I am sending sweet Molly extra healing vibes.

sending vibes to molly hopefully she is doing better

Well it looks like she may have to see a specialist. Her PCV level only went up by 1 is the past week.. They may want to send her to a specialist so they can do a bone morrow thing.. Poor kitty

Awww...poor little sweetie pie.
I will keep Molly in my prayers.

Oh no! Poor baby. Bone morrow tests are so painful for people...I`m sure they are for kitties. Sometimes it is the only way they can really find out what is going on when it involves a problem they are seeing with blood counts. Perhaps they can put her under to do the test. It would be worth the extra $ just to know that she is not feeling the needle going into her bone...unless they think it is risky for her life because of being so weak.
My heart just goes out to her and to you. I`m praying for Molly still.
Please keep us updated. When is her specialist appointment. I`m sure they will get her in really soon.

Well the regular vet wants to see her back in a week and if nothing has changed then to a specialist we go! They gave her some pet tinic(sp?) its iron so hopefully that will help.

I merged your two threads. It would be helpful when you need health advice, to leave your posts all in one thread instead of starting new ones. That way, our kitty specialists can keep up with the whole story and instead of getting just good vibes, perhaps they can offer other alternatives you could look at.

Oh sorry

I know grapefruit seed extract or gse is very helpful in many problems...May be run that by your vet...

Has the vet given you some special nutrition for Molly, to help her gain weight faster? If not, maybe you should ask if she can have some KMR (Kitten Milk Replacer) or another high-calorie supplement. I wouldn't give her anything without asking first, though...

I surely hope your baby continues to improve. She's a lovely girl, and my thoughts are with her...

Well there not really worried about her weight they are more concerned about her pcv level.
