More Serious Kitty Check In

It appears the stress has taken a more serious toll on Abby recently. She was hospitalized this week. We had noticed a decrease in weight and food consumption and figured it was due to stress. That became even more serious in the last few days. When Gary left for his trip to Rhode Island, we think she pretty much completely quit eating. I was able to hand feed her a little bit, but she basically wasn’t eating. We took her to the vet on Tuesday and they kept her overnight to give her fluids. She was eating a little bit at the vet and they are giving her an appetite stimulant. The lack of eating has caused some liver problems. We brought her home for the evening last night, but she didn’t eat anything the whole time she was at the house. She’s going back to the vet to have more fluids today. We are hoping to get her eating again and hoping that will kick-start her liver functions back to normal… really hoping she hasn’t done permanent damage to her liver.
