If you're dyslexic then 40% is impressive. Well done. :TI was going to say that I think it might be an age thing, getting 100%, but apparently not.

Mauve squeaker had her routine bloods lady week and veg was saying how well she looks etc etc. ( we were feeding for kidney problems, and they have 'recovered' or rather responded to diet adjustments etc.
But its come back as shocking on liver readings, not in most common ways for cats either.
. She is going in for more tests on Wednesday, but my lovely cat specialist vet had said to take her in if ANYTHING happens between now and then, as if she might go down hill suddenly from the ok cat I have now. Vet was really shocked and said its not what she would have expected from the cat in front of her, so she doesn't want to say anything til rerunning tests and imaging.
I'm really a little blindsided.
Oh no! I'm so sorry. Hugs and thoughts and prayers.
Do you know anyone who's bereaved? Point them to https://www.AtaLoss.org which does for bereavement support what MSE does for financial services, providing links to support organisations relevant to the circumstances of the loss & the local area. (Link permitted by forum team)

Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.0 -

Oh poor Mauve squeaker....hope she is ok.We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.

Hoping for better results or at least more info from second round.
I know very little, because vet is playing safe too. Info, info....that will help' yes. This morning I am thinking...well...do I give her her arthritis medicine or not? Worse evil for half a week? I don't know.
But WBC count was normal, so infection seems unlikely ( this is not that uncommon for liver in cats). And bilirubin was also fine.
Ironically, she's been so cheerful recently. Coming every morning and evening to round up the birds, for a stroll round the Cake with the dogs, exploring places she would not while a Big Dog was here ( she and big dog didn't get on).
Sigh. We'll wait to see. Thanks for listening.0 -
Re arthritis medicine. Is the surgery open on a Saturday so you can call and check, even if your vet not on duty? Am assuming that there is a veterinary equivalent of the BNF that contraindications can be checked against. Would save you worrying about medicine over weekend at least.Please stay safe in the sun and learn the A-E of melanoma: A = asymmetry, B = irregular borders, C= different colours, D= diameter, larger than 6mm, E = evolving, is your mole changing? Most moles are not cancerous, any doubts, please check next time you visit your GP.

Yes, and yes.

The vet actually said to keep going on minimum, but we don't know what it is yet......so......
I trust her, though, I have given the tiniest amount possible. Mauve rarely takes a full dose anyway.
. She loves it ...she'll tell me its med time some days, but doesn't need it...we find she does well ( for arthritis anyway) on tiny amounts. 0 -
I think.....I'm about to have an 'Is this your car? Are you insured? Have you permission to have it? Can we speak to the owner?' moment.
The answers are no, yes, yes, yes, although I have absolutely nothing in Bulgarian or English to prove it, so I think this could get very interesting.....💙💛 💔0 -
LiR fingers crossed for you and mauve squeaker.0

Well I suppose that makes a change from being on all the gold ramping threads in the investment board.... “The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.
Belief in myths allows the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought.”
