[Tink]

will be at the vet in two hours to have a discussion so i can go with my instinct about what is best for cuddles..i am going to try to do what i can to ensure she is comfortable and happy...wish me luck, will let you know what happens when i get home. i would like to avoid euthanasia if it's possible without causing her pain or stress..i hope i have good news when i come home.

[dandysmom]

Luck, Tink! Will be thinking of you and Cuddles .....

[Mags]

Good luck to you and Cuddles, Tink. (((hugs)))

[Tink]

sorry been so vague and distant guys...i have to wait for more bloodwork in the am..which is about nine hours away..and see what the results say..argh. i am major stressed right now but there is a chance that it's an easy fix. and oh yeah, about the eye, she's blind in that eye..if you remember my post about that. prob was a stroke, nothing can do for it. majorly infected tooth with the root exposed and gums receded..on antibiotics..drilled off the plaque and she was bleeding..vomited and urinated out of fear..dramatically lost weight..trouble eating, etc. won't know if she can survive sedation to cure..and if infection has spread to heart...hope bloodwork comes back okay tomorrow...sorry been so stressed everything is happening at once for me right now and haven't been able to post and my brain is fried. she's down to six pounds, if loses more may have to force feed.

[Fran]

Everything crossed here for her Tink {{{Hugs}}}

Oh very sad Tink. Thinking of you and cuddles today. You're a strong woman and we all know that you will do the best for cuddles. ****HUGS****

[PoshPuss]

I'm sorry for your troubles Tink. You and Cuddles are in my prayers.

[dandysmom]

Oh Tink! Praying hard ....

[Tink]

thank you all. some good news but i'm a bit nervous too. the vet says her bloodwork says her liver enzymes are up but at a normal amount for her age. however, she has hypothyroidism which is contributing to the weight loss. i have scheduled her to have the infected tooth removed monday morning..while she is under sedation, the doctor will palpate for a growth on the thyroid..if there is one, i have given the go ahead to remove it since she said med therapy would only go so far and all systems and organs would start shutting down if there is one present like she suspects.
cuddles is very talkative today. couldn't get her to eat well then realized i had some chicken baby food in the cupboard. i mixed it up and she ate most of it!!! i'm off to the store to stock up on some more..at least she will have SOMETHING in her stomach!
i just hope all goes smoothly on monday..maybe there won't even be a growth and i'll just need to start her on thyroid meds and it'll just be the tooth removal? that'd be the best case scenario. but i'll be relieved to have a growth removed if that really is causing all the trouble.
sorry to ask for vibes again but she may need them monday morning...also, let's hope she at least keeps eating the baby food up!

[Mags]

Tink, you are doing your very best for Cuddles and that's all anyone can ask...

Buckets full of good vibes are on their way across the Pond to Cuddles...(((hugs)))x

[Tink]

thanx mags, i feel so hesitant to give the go ahead to take out a growth if there is one but she assured me she should pull through by what her bloodwork shows...just so touchy with one this age, you know?

[Moli]

Heaps of good vibes coming for Cuddles.....Hugs to you too...xx

[dandysmom]

Truckload of good vibes for Cuddles, and hugs for you! Hope she keeps eating, that's so important; baby food was a good idea. Hang in there, you're doing all you can.........and you know we all are thinking of you!
