Healing Vibes needed for Eva...

[Elaine]

Thankyou all for your well wishes.
Eva is back home with me now and I have managed to get her to eat 3 prawns, not much but a little is better than nothing at all. Will try her again in a wee while.
She has Triaditis and is very jaundiced. I would have got her to the vets alot sooner if I'd seen the jaundice, but many of you know Eva isnt the easiest cat to handle and check over. Her bileduct has a blockage and is infected which in turn has inflamed her liver, hence the jaundice. We are hopeful that the heavy duty anti biotics, anti inflamatories and Desloit tablets will help but we have to get her eating again.
Her bloods showed no ill effects to her imune, her kidneys are good, infact everything else is good, it's just the bileduct and liver.
My vet now thinks that Eva, after her many bouts of unpset tummies, is actually suffering from pancreatitis and IBD which would have a direct bearing on whats happening now.
If we can get through this, it may re-ocurr or it may not but atleast we will know what to look for and get her seen to asap.
It's hard to believe that this happening to my princess as it was only Thursday she went out and caught us two mice.
The next two days are critical so please wish her well, she is only a youngster at 5 and half years old.

Glad Eva is back home with you and has eaten a little, it will help her medication to work. I hope she's feeling much better soon

oh no, sorry Eva is poorly, but glad she is home. 3 prawns is better than no prawns

Sorry to hear Eva is so poorly

Getting a better understanding of this now after some reading, as I do.
Triaditis or 3 strikes in one hit. Pancreatitis, IBD and Cholangiohepatitis. Thats what's happening to my poor girl.
Apparently a major contribution to this condition is dry kibble.
If can get her through this, it's recomended that I feed either raw or canned foods and NO kibble.

She has eaten a few more prawns, bless her heart. I hope she continues to eat from here on.
I really thought she was a gonner this morning.
8 years ago I lost Woody to Hepatic Lipidosis and I was almost sure this was what was going to happen to Eva, especially as her weight has been a constant battle.
My vet said though, that Triaditis is a relatively new breakthrough and vets are learning more and more about the cats unique hepatic function. 10 years ago, she would have been diagnosed with HL and we would have lost her.

Through my understanding of CRF and now this, I am fast becoming very anti Kibble.
