my lovely cat

[jellybean55]

Seems to have aged so much in just a few days took her to the vet friday and waiting for test results as her tum has filled with fluid. She is about 9 years old and it's only just hit me that she wont be around forever hope it turns out to be nothing but just have a bad feeeling

Aww, fingers crossed for ypu and your lovely cat. I hope it all turns out fine. xx

9 really is not that old for a cat

I hope she is ok

 

[FionaM12]

please excuse spelling, just learning how to use new phone.w

 

[jellybean55]

Thank you, I suppose 9 isnt that old but im not certain if that is her age I got her from a rescue centre and always wondered if she was older than what they said

 

[mulledwhine]

Il sound like her kidneys , probably wrong though !!!

My mummy cat went very poorly , showing the same symptoms, vet said she would ' go' over night

The next day she was soo annoying that they sent her home

She lived another 16 years

Hope your kitty does the same xxx

 

[jellybean55]

Hope so I expect the hot weather isnt helping and making her extra dopey!

 

[MrsMozart]

Hope she's okay hunny.

Hope she's okay. Don't lose hope, our old cat lived until he was 18 years old, unfortunately he passed a week ago

 

[jellybean55]

Thank you so sorry to hear you lost yours horseshavingfun, that's a good age 18 bless him x

 

[HorsesHavingFun]

Thank you He was a lovely dude! Hope your results come back fine x

This does sound as if it might be Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP) If it is and you have symptoms the outlook is not good I'm afraid. There are 2 forms of it. wet and dry. This sounds like wet FIP. Has your vet done a titre test for this? If not they probably should.

I do hope that I am mistaken here, it's difficult to be accurate if you haven't seen the cat. I really hope that your cat recovers pdq.

Hi suelin, I found FIP when I googled her symptoms I hope it isnt this. Her bloated tum has gone right down but this might just be because the vet drained some of the fluid on friday. She seems to be drinking a lot more than normal and hasnt lost her appetite. Very anxious to find out what's wrong with her

Aw hun 9 isn't old at all.

It could be a few things.
has she had bloods done??? They tell a lot

 

[jellybean55]

I know, but she just seems like she's aged if that makes sense since she has been poorly, very slow moving and lethargic just not her usual cheeky self

Vet called today and he said nothing major has shown up in her blood so taking her back tomorrow and I think he said they wanted to do an ultrasound To try and find out what the fluid is.

She always sleeps next to me on my bed but last few nights she has gone to the spare room on her own it makes me so sad I've picked her up and brought her in with me tonight
