I'm throwing this here, not so much because I don't want advice as this isn't really a situation I think there is advice to give. It seemed the most appropriate place, so here it is. My kitty Calypso is sick. I took her to the vet last week. She was acting lethargic, not eating or drinking and distant. She was also hissing at her food, which seemed odd. They sedated her because she was in so much pain! I didn't even know she was in that much pain. They investigated and said she had infected spot in her mouth and throat. We were going to assume it was simple and she chewed on something she shouldn't have like a stick, but if she didn't get better to call back.
Saturday night she was drunk kitty and then she seemed to be doing much better. Tuesday she seemed tired, but I wasn't too concerned. Yesterday she stopped eating again and today she was moaning in pain. I called the vet and we went back. They said poor kitty is not good. She is a sick sick kitty. That whatever is wrong with her is not good. It's likely either feline Leukemia, cancer (tumor) or kitty HIV. She is in so so much pain. They want to do a biopsy and possibly remove the tumor tomorrow! That's how bad it is. I'm so so sad. I'm scared. This is my princess! I don't care who hears me say it. I don't care how unmanly it is. ugh.
So it's been a long day, and that's where I am. I don't even know. So we go tomorrow morning for surgery. Send off to the lab to find out what we're dealing with, and then I see if I can afford to treat it.
