Hi,
I'm Lexa from the UK and I joined the boards back in April when my almost 11 yr old cat was first diagnosed but we managed to get it under control with insulin (caninsulin) so didn't post. Sorry.
Anyway I'm in a desperate situation, so please can someone help me nailbite_smile
On Tuesday Lola was the best she'd been since the diagnosis. She was sitting on the Kitchen unit and jumped off into the corner of the floor when she saw a gecko running along the skirting boards. She did land a bit awkwardly. She ate it before we could get it away from her.
Wed. am she would eat much at all with her injection, didn't eat at all during the day and again only a few mouthfuls w/ her insulin at night. She then vomitted it all up a hour or so later, along wiht what looked like the residue of the gecko.
Thurs am. Got up to find her having been sick (mainly just water and bile) about 7 times. Took to Vet, she pent the day there on a drip. Perked up a little but not much. They ran a bunch of tests (they mentioned liver & kidney) which all came back negative. Told us she had 48 hrs. She did squeal when they pushed her lower tummy. She came back to us leaking sticky pee and frothing at the mouth.
This am. We've defrosted some prawns but she'll only drink the water, made a chicken broth for her, which she's now choosing over anything else and is a little more mobile, can move from room to room in a few goes and stretch out. The stickiness is easing a little and the dripping is on and off.
I've looked at your FAQs on this but our Vets advised none of those things. I wondered if there was a blockage from the gecko but I was ignored. She does also have a temp.
I tried to get into a small animal special hospital but it's 2 hr drive away and they said the stress would be too much *sob, gulp*
Please help, is there anything I can do?
Thank you
