HISSIE GOES TO VET IN THE MORNING

[lynnkay]

I called the vet today. Had an appt. at 2 tomorrow afternoon. Vet's office called back and wants me to bring Hissie in at 9 in the morning instead. Vet wants to observe her for the day. So, I will be dropping my girl off at the vet. I talked to the vet tech. She was wonderful. She was writing down everything I was telling her. I also stated that I wanted an endoscopy. If that shows nothing, then I want a biopsy. My dear friends, I do so listen to all your advice. Without you all, I would have been lost through this. You all have given me knowledge about my cats. Now, I state to my vet what I think needs to be done for Hissie. And my vet will listen to me. Our vet is super and a huge cat lover. There are vets out there, that probably would have gave up on Hiss by now. But, not our vet. And she does not keep seeing Hiss just for the money. Hiss's last 2 day stay at the vet's only cost $130.00. That was with an enema, staying for 2 days and sending Hiss home with 2 types of meds. There has been no change in Hissie's symptoms. She is still eating a bit. But, has yet to have bowel movement. And we are giving her stool softener. I also told the vet tech that I am very concerned about the weight loss in Hissie. The vet tech noted that as well. Of course, when I drop Hiss off at the vet in the morning, I will have a discussion with the vet. Hissie surprised us again early tonight! She once again came out into the main part of the house all on her own. So, I got to hold her in my lap for about 45 minutes in the dining room. So, this has happened twice today! It felt absolutely wonderful, to have our Hisse, interacting in the home, like she once use to. I kept praising and praising her. And was she ever eating it all up. I so hate having to put Hiss in her cat carrier and leave her at the vet. Hissie hates it all so much. But, I know it has got to be done. When she is upset or in pain,  I simply feel terrible. And it is never the same, when she is not here. But, got to get my girl well, so there has to be sacrifices. I am very worried my friends. I know she is old and always so scared something will be found, that cannot be cured. I still have hope though. But, it is normal I think, if a loved one is so ill, to have some fear as well. I keep talking about me in all this. I want to say, my husband loves Hissie as much as me. He called her our child tonight. He is a good man, with a huge heart. But, I will keep you all posted, as I learn information on Hissie. Thank you all so much. GOD BLESS EACH ONE OF YOU. You are there when I need you. Words can never express my gratitude.

Hi Lynn, I am so hoping that things go well for you and Hissie tommorrow!  You need some answers, and I pray that you will get them!  I still think that ALL of her problems are related to something going on with her colon.  Have you noticed that the vomiting starts AFTER she hasn't pooped in a few days?  Once the colon or small intestine get obstructed nothing can move through, and the only way out is by vomiting.  A colonoscopy is your best bet to see what's going on in the intestinal tract, and they can take a small biopsy while they do that procedure.  I'd ask your vet just to be sure, if she thinks an endoscopy or a colonoscopy is more appropriate.  You, your hubby, and Hissie deserve some answers-I pray to God that you will finally have them!

My prayers are with you, sweetie!!  Your story has truly touched so many of us in the cat forum!!  Heck, you've got me thinking about her when I'm away from the computer!!

Lots of hugs!!  =D
