Reply #30: Update on my Baby...

[Contrary1]

Baby came through the surgery ok. There was no intestinal obstruction. She is suffering from acute kidney failure. The vet said her right kidney looked really bad. He took a biopsy, and we will know the results in a couple days.

I don't know if this is a one time type event, or if it will be something she will battle the rest of her life. She is strictly indoors, so I don't believe it was something toxic that she ingested.

I have had more cats than I can name, but for some reason; this little one has really got me worried. All eight of my kitties are "cast offs". It seems that those who need me find their way to my back door. I've already lost two of my sweeties in the last six months, one to a stroke, and the other to feline leukemia. I hope I don't lose this one.

Anyway, so far she is responding well to the antibiotics and IV hydration, and may get to come home Thursday or Friday. I am going to visit with her tomorrow.

A very heartfelt :pals: Thank You :pals: to everyone for the positive vibes and encouraging words. It has meant a lot to me.
