about the water. We appreciate your message. Glad to know the illness can be treated. We are praying the kidneys are not being effected as bad as it could happen. They told us to take a sample if only we wanted to. They recommend taking a cello bag or a zip lock bag and putting it under the cat as soon they peepee. They only need a very small amount. Remove the litter/ place a liner in the pan/ let them pee and put the bag there to catch. Hubby had the items ready to go/ the gloves. the bag and once you collect the sample put that immediately in a closed container of ice. Secure properly for travel. He left right away and took that straight to the vet's office. They don't encourage people to do this for good reason though I have had several vets tell us before how to do and that we could do if we wanted to. I keep masks and gloves here at home for emergencies or home use for cleaning / home painting jobs so, hubby said let me try it so we don't have to take her back out in the car since it seems to upset her terribly. Luckily, it went easy and was over quickly. What was your family's Siamese cat's name? I had a Siamese cat named Simon. Aren't they beautiful. He sure was handsome. I still miss Simon. Have a nice weekend. --Previous Message-- : treatment. I do know she lived many years : after that. : : If Gracie ever refuses to drink, try giving : her the low sodium chicken broth. That : seems to entice cats to drink fluids. : : How do you collect a urine sample from a : cat? Seems an almost impossible task unless : you're allowed to take a clump of : litter....just wondering. : : I'll keep Gracie and both you and Ron in my : thoughts and prayers. I know the knot in : your stomach that goes along with sick fur : babies. Give Gracie a kiss for me. : : --Previous Message-- : Thank you for all of the posts. I will be : off : line for awhile today. I have some things to : do and of course, getting the sample for : Gracie and taking her back there for another : test. It looks like we may have a storm : coming up this morning. Our water levels are : way up this year. Have a nice weekend to : all. Hope everyone is feeling ok to you and : your loved ones. : : Dr. Nazareth thinks Gracie has pancreatitis. : It can be treated though he doesn't know : what level or the severity this is since her : kidneys are now infected and to what level. : He wants her back in to do another test to : see if she is diabetic also and if so, she : would need shots each day and monitoring by : him once a week until they can stabilize. : She needs this test done as soon as possible : he says so they can determine if this is : another issue. It would be several days to : know or not if she is positive. I pray she : doesn't have to go through so much. He says : this is a very serious situation / disease. : We'll be here for her. I read from web md : for healthy cats to learn more info about : this disease. : : We are going to try to get a urine sample : before we go to his office. If not, they : will do it there by a needle. Gracie is just : laying around and doesn't want to do much. : She did eat a little breakfast and drank : plenty of water. Ron got her to take her : medicines this morning and she has not : thrown it up like both times last night. I : sat up to 3 a.m. Hubby got up at 5 a.m. to : watch her. I will let you all know in a few : days when they tell us more. Thank you for : thinking of her in wishes, thoughts and : prayers. Hope everyone is doing alright and : your families. : : : : http://pets.webmd.com/cats/pancreatitis-cats : : :
