Update on our cat Cece [View all]
We got her an ultrasound today - they didn't see anything noteworthy.
Took a second x-ray and found that her stomach was full of Tidy Cat Breeze litter pellets. They will probably not pass. So, word to the wise - if you have an elderly cat, a pellet-based system is probably not a good idea because sometimes cats will eat litter when something is wrong, trying to get nutrients in which they are deficient. Clay litter will at least pass through the system.
Based on deeper analysis of the blood test results, they think it may be bone marrow cancer. Given the invasiveness and pain involved with the potential biopsy and chemo, we have opted to bring her home and let her live out her remaining days (until it becomes clear that the time has come for euthanasia). She'll be on a couple of meds intended to make her more comfortable.
"What a day!"
We would like to thank everyone who donated and thank anyone else in advance - the goal has been lowered as we did not opt for a hospital stay. (If our financial situation hadn't been unusually bad recently, we would not have asked at all.) Just knowing there are kind people in the world makes a huge difference.
