My wife took her in to the vet this morning on her way to work. They did more tests, said her liver enzymes aren't too good, and the vet said she thought she felt small bumps starting on her kidneys. They gave her prednisone, antibiotics, and an injection rehydration (not IV, the needle just goes under the skin, not into a vein). They gave my wife the IV bag (not really IV but the bag is the same), a hose, and some needles, and we are to hook her up for a fifth of a bag every other day, and give her the prednisone and antibiotics every day.
She was only 3 1/2 pounds, she must have lost a pound in the last two days, it happened so fast. When my wife got back with her this afternoon we tried to feed her but she wasn't interested in the liver/egg mix. My wife said to give her some chicken (I picked the meat, fat, skin off the bones from chicken soup from a few days ago and tried giving it to her last night, but she wasn't interested in it then). This time she dove into the chicken and devoured three large (for her) servings of it (the equivalent of a person eating three large plates heaped with chicken scraps), and then drank some condensed milk.
I am hoping she will pull through this and her body can fight off the disease, whatever it is. The vet thinks it might be an intestinal infection that the antibiotics can help with. She seems to be feeling a little better, and I can feel her rehydrating, she still feels like skin and bones but I can feel the muscles on her back starting to fill out. I feel so bad for her, she is such an innocent creature. She's the one cat that all the others love. They dote on her, they always have, there's something about her personality.
Thanks everyone for the prayers, they are appreciated, and it looks like they may be working. I was so afraid she wouldn't make it throught the night and now she's doing a little better, but any improvement is dramatic compared to the way she was declining so fast.
