Guest Tuxsmom Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 i am so sorry to keep you all waiting. i was completely shocked to see 4 pages of prayers posted for my girl. your prayers have worked so far. OMG i almost killed my Penny she lost a LOT of blood. her protein levels were way down. she was dehydrated. vet kept her all day - she had 1 more blood-vomit and 3 more blood-diarreahs. vet kept checking her levels (cant remember technical term)...but they stayed constant throughout the day and DID NOT GO DOWN (this was the important thing, she said). she gave her sucralfate to coat & heal the digestive tract. she suspects a bad ulcer. her concern is if the ulcer perforates. she does not believe it has done so, yet. she told me what to look for to determine an emergency. said it is very bad news if that happens. here is the part where i almost killed my baby: she had a severe hookworm infestation! but she had a clean fecal 3 weeks ago when all this started! what has happened is that her ravenous appetite & thirst from the prednisone has turned her into a scavenger in the yard. when getting up with her every two hours, i would watch her poke around the yard and come back in. she has apparently been eating every bit of poo she could get her paws on. i really really should have thought of this. all of my cats don't have worms, but i didnt think about the strays that meander through, and all the other critters. vet said the infestation has her intestines in an absolute mess & set her up for the ulcer. did any of that make sense? Im trying to remember everything. to sum it all up: Penny is at risk for perforation of her digestive tract, but we are hoping sucralfate & eradication of worms keeps this from happening. she is also on a type of probiotic called Fortiflora. my vet says it really helps with any digestive disorder. and i have to go back to just rice & chicken & green beans for a while.. no dog food mixed in. my Penny could have so easily died today thank you all for your prayers, i feel that they made a HUGE difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaliforniaGreys Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 My God, what you and your girl have been through. I'm exhausted just keeping up, I can imagine how you both feel. You didn't almost kill your girl, today, you saved your girl. Be proud of that! We'll be thinking of you both and hope for a quiet, comfortable night for both of you Missing my little Misty who took a huge piece of my heart with her on 5/2/09, and Ekko, on 6/28/12 For the sick, the lost, and the homeless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HopeForHounds Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 This is not your fault. Thank God you got her in in time and now have treatment. You do need to muzzle her and put a poop cup on (if you don't have one tape the muzzle up far enough that she can't sneak any more snacks). Foxy was terrible for eating poop, especially when she was on pred. Continuing the prayers and sending hugs.

You all brought so much into my light, and taught me so much about the power of love, you are with me always.If you get the chance to sit it out or dance.......... I hope you dance!

Graciehound Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 I'm glad to hear that Penny made it though the day and that you have a plan of treatment. Still sending prayers for her (and for you, too!) Sounds like it is time for the two of you to curl up on the couch under a nice blanket and have an adult beverage (for you, not her ). Take care, and keep us posted on how she is doing.
