Can I please have some good thoughts and prayers for my little cat, Teazer? She's at the vet overnight right now.
I don't know what happened. She snubbed her dinner Christmas and I thought she was just being picky but then she didn't eat anything for several days and then she got really lethargic and when she didn't even purr when I picked her up I knew something was wrong. The vet had me drop her off and she didn't make a peep the whole way there or when I got her inside (soooo not normal for her!). When I called in the afternoon they said they were very worried. They said that her temp was quite a bit under normal, which they said was very serious, she's dehydrated and they drew blood for a senior panel. They called back later to say that her situation is "still guarded", that they wanted to keep her overnight to give her fluids and keep her under the heat lamp and that they wanted to do one more blood test for T4, which the tech said stood for thyroid but so far they've been very scant on any other details. She's 15, going on 16 but she's been in excellent health up to this point and this came on so suddenly.
I'm a mess, I love that little cat so much. I just hope I got her to the vet in time.
