Josie has taken a turn for the worse

[eccentricfuzzyme]

I don't know if any of you remember me and Josie, but she had been doing very well, was regulated with diet change, and was able to get off insulin. Her numbers are still good, but she has been very sick the last little while.
First, she had major constipation and now her bum is always dirty so she must be having diareha.
She had massive amounts of thick gunky stuff in both eyes this morning. much more than when a cat has conjunctivitis, which a cat of mine had in the past.
And she has lost weight, quite suddenly it was noticeable.
It is a holiday long weekend so I cant get in to see a vet until tuesday at the earliest. Tuesday morning I will call around to see if any local vets will use "Farely's fund" for an emergency visit.
she doesnt seem to be in pain, is still drinking normally, and i think eating normally but i cant be sure as she free feeds with the other cats.
I cant afford to have the vet do a lot of testing, and if it isnt her sugar levels causing this, I am afraid it is something much more serious and that i will have to consider having her put down.
just looking for support i guess.

Sending you major hugs, and hoping whatever is ailing Josie goes away just as quickly as it came.

I dont have any ideas but am too sending prayers for Josie and you. I sure hope this passes and she is feeling better real soon.

Had something very similiar happen with my civvie a couple of months ago. Basically she had a "very bad cold" type thing going on and had to have antibiotics to kick it. She's still gaining weight back.

Hope you find out soon something for Josie. :YMHUG:

Whatever Josie has picked up, we are praying little Josie drops it just as quickly. When our Oliver was little he had a terrible "thing" that clogged his eyes, nose with "stuff" that looked very dark, almost black. It was a huge cold. Seemed to take forever to clear it up. Hang in there... Sending you all our thoughts and prayers.
