ORIGINAL: GreedyTop *hugs SUnny* I hate that the bloodwork on Gracious came back fine again. This means it's not thyroid, or diabetes. SHe's lost over 2 lbs since the last visit, about 2 months ago. She's dehydrated. The vet is recommending an ultrasound, because there's a small lump in her tummy. The visit today pretty much wiped out my bank account, and an ultrasound will cost about 350.00. I'm looking for a veterinary school in the area that might be able to do it cheaper. Today, the vet gave her a saline and B12 injection to try to rehydrate her, and when we got home, she ate some of the wet food, which is good. HE said to try different wet food, lean cold cuts, and/or baby food. When one of my kitties lost a ton of weight we fed her baby food. It helped quite a bit. Another cat has diabetes and she dropped a ton of weight and I used innova kitten canned food (it's got a purple label) it's full of nutrients and protein I use it anytime I need to put weight on one of my cats. The other thing that may work is they make that bottle formula for newborn kitties. If she can't eat she can drink and that should help. Imp who should have gone to vet school to save on animal care.
