Good News and Bad News November 10, 2004
The good news is that my baseline ultrasound went well. My lining was thin, and I had no cysts, so I’ve started Estrace. I go back again in two weeks for a lining check.
The bad news is that my kitty isn’t any better. I called the vet after my appointment this morning and found out the latest. They really don’t know what is wrong with him. He vomited a little overnight, and he’s still won’t eat anything. They had to splint his leg because he was fighting with the IV. I know he’s just so unhappy there. The plan is for me to call the vet back at 4:00 and if Salvador has not taken a turn for the worst then I get to go pick him up. Now that he’s hydrated he might do better at home. So, I’m going to try to get him eating again here, but if he doesn’t show any improvement then I’ll have to bring him back to the vet. They’re going to leave his IV catheter in so that if I have to bring him back they won’t have to redo it. (He’s not fond of the catheter so they have to sedate him every time they put one in.) We’re also going to start him on Cyproheptadine which is an antihistamine that stimulates appetite in some cats. We gave him that when he was so sick last time, and it seemed to help.
I really hope he starts feeling better soon. I’m so worried that he hasn’t shown any signs of improvement yet. My poor kitty cat. Hopefully tomorrow’s post will be entitled “Good news and More Good News.” We’ll see.

I am so, so, so sorry about your kitty. And I am sorry I have been so absent from this whole cycle of yours. I’m a bad friend, BAD FRIEND!
Still praying for you and Salvador…
Dawn, you are so not a bad friend. Plus, I still have 19 days until transfer, and that’s assuming everything goes well.
Thank you everyone for your thoughtful comments concerning my dear kitty. You guys are the best.
