Update on Brie #3: Blood Transfusion

[spicedogs]

When Abbie and Jack visited Brie this afternoon, she was very droopy. She hardly had any energy. A few hours later, the hospital called to get permission to give her a full transfusion. Apparently, she is anemic, as well.

I went to see her tonight. She seemed tired. She is a sick baby. I touched her, caressed her, and gave her neck tickies. In return, she purred back.

I told her that I loved her and wanted to see her back, and I promised her that I wouldn't call her an annoying cat if she meowed to get me to see her eat. It hurts so much seeing your loved one so sick. Abbie, who saw her earlier this afternoon, assured me that Brie was a lot better tonight than she was in the afternoon. We must get over this hurdle. And I have faith that we will.

Brian and I are planning to visit her tomorrow night. We will take off from work one hour earlier.

Oh, Spicy. I hope things get better. How old is she, bTW?

I hope everything goes well! It seems like one thing after the next.

When it rains, it pours, doesn't it? I lost two cats to chronic kidney diseases. They were Persians, which are susceptible for polycystic kidney disease, and I say that not to try to raise worries but to show theirs was a different situation, but the stress of an ailing pet is the same. I hope Brie can get past this hurdle. Hope the blood transfusions help perk her up. Does it sound like she might have some kidney function restored? You said acute, so I was hoping that meant that it was some a bit more temporary.

My cat developed an acute liver infection on the day my dad died. Talk about getting torn in so many directions, whew!

Will keep Brie on the my list of prayers and have her added to the Candle Ceremony at Best Friends. I'll just name her as a friend's cat, so I won't ID you.
