updates on cats.

the amputee cat from a few days ago is doing poorly. became acutely lethargic and icteric on sunday, so i sent him to WSU today. his red blood cell count has dropped severely, so he got a blood transfusion this afternoon, hopefully that'll help. but they weren't sure why he was breaking down all his red blood cells, so not sure if they can stop it :(

the diabetic cat is now down to 1 unit twice daily and i'm hoping to wean him entirely off insulin and just maintain him with diet in a few weeks :)

Any news on amputee?

um. sent him to pullman, they're not sure if he's bleeding somewhere that they can't find or if he's breaking down his own red blood cells--either way, he's severely anemic, even after a transfusion. holding relatively steady, i guess, but that means not really improving either. lots of bloodwork and 2 ultrasounds later, they haven't been able to find the source of the problem either.
