I hesitate to say "good news," but today she seems very slightly better. She still hasn't eaten more than a few bites in at least a week, and she's lethargic, but her breathing seems quieter, she's lifting and supporting&nbsp;her head and sitting in her regular way, and meowing a bit. We had a big snow that shut our vet's office today so I will bring her in there tomorrow...I'd been assuming it would be to have her euthanized, but maybe that will not be necessary--yesterday it really seemed like the only option considering her misery.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-own-kitty-is-very-sick#post-1439960 Mon, 09 Feb 2015 22:16:03 +0000 LACeleste 1439960@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So sorry you are going through this.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-own-kitty-is-very-sick#post-1439728 Mon, 09 Feb 2015 15:02:52 +0000 texstyle 1439728@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am so sorry Mochi - I know how heartbreaking this is.

It's pretty clear that she is suffering. Just now she peed all over the kitchen floor, and her breathing is labored. Unfortunately we are in the middle of heavy snowfall in MA today and my vet's office isn't open till tomorrow. I will just try and keep her company today. : (&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-own-kitty-is-very-sick#post-1439563 Mon, 09 Feb 2015 03:08:03 +0000 Eliza 1439563@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thinking of you, Mochi.

She has such a lovely face and soulful eyes. Here is hoping the treatment works for here.<br />Have you tried to entice her to eat with some special food she really loves? When my cat was sick and refused to eat his regular food I was able to tempt him into eating with canned tuna he really loves. If they eat they have more strength to fight the illness.<br />Good luck and health vibes to your Kitty! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-own-kitty-is-very-sick#post-1439145 Sun, 08 Feb 2015 10:51:45 +0000 Summer 1439145@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I'm so sorry. &nbsp;She's such a beautiful cat. &nbsp;I hope she responds to the medication, and that you can keep her for a little longer. &nbsp;It's so hard to see our pets in distress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-own-kitty-is-very-sick#post-1439139 Sun, 08 Feb 2015 10:11:56 +0000 Louise 1439139@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>She's a beauty x Sending healing thoughts to Kitty to help her rally x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-own-kitty-is-very-sick#post-1439109 Sun, 08 Feb 2015 05:28:12 +0000 carter 1439109@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>She's beautiful!

What a beautiful face! &nbsp;I am an unabashed cat lover too -and my black Bombay named Katie is about this age. I worry about her all the time. Aging is so hard to witness - I hope Kitty pulls through, or if that doesn't look like the answer, that she is comfortable and loved for however much longer she lives. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-own-kitty-is-very-sick#post-1438939 Sun, 08 Feb 2015 00:08:39 +0000 Mochi 1438939@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>She is pretty old at 16 and suddenly stopped eating this past week. She's always been a huge glutton. I just brought her to the vet yesterday, they did an x-ray and it turns out she has a lot of fluid both in and around her lungs. This is from heart failure, the price of aging. They gave her a diuretic and if she's going to respond to it, it should be by tomorrow or Monday at the latest. So far I don't see much difference; her breathing still seems rattle-y and she hasn't eaten a bite, though she drinks and gets around a little.&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm heartbroken, of course. We've had her for maybe twelve years. She's not the most playful kitty (by the way, my daughter named her Kitty), but she is so sweet and friendly. Kind of like a dog. All my friends love her.&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp; </p>
