Last week (May 19th) Katie started acting weird, she vomited and then tried to pee on the sofa where I like to sit and then beside my computer deck. I saw a bit of blood on Katie's blanket. I call the vet and told them what was going on with her; the vet said bring her in right away. When I was in the vet he took a sample of urine, blood, and took an x-ray. It ends up Katie has a bit of blood in her urine and has a Bladder Infection. I have to give Katie her pills Mornings and Evenings for two weeks. They have sent her urine sample to a bigger lab for further testing. The Vet said he did not see any thing in the x-ray.
Katie has not had a bowel movement since last Friday. I haven't seen her eat her food or drink her water, both bowls are full; I filled them over the weekend. I tried to give Katie soft canned food and she gagged when she smelled it. I think she has lost some weight; Katie only weighs 6lbs 7oz., she also feels cold. Katie seems very weak. I have been giving her water mix in with tuna and she is drinking and eating that.
I called the Vet today to find out the results and they still do not have them.
(Not impressed)
I also talked to the Vet about how Katie is doing. He said that I should bring Katie in, so they can put her on IV - intravenous to hydrate her which will cost $115 an hour and they want to keep her there for a couple of days. The Vet seems to think something might be wrong with her Kidneys, so he wants to do more tests, another $200. I just don't have that kind of money.
The first visit cost me $400. I asked maybe I could pay in instalments but they don't do that.
Well, the Vet said that I should try taking Katie off the pill for a couple of days to see if she starts eating and drinking again. So that is what I am going to do. I pray that is all it is.
Thank you for listening.
