Our good friend Savannah is working on a “Paw It Forward Project“ , you can read all about it here.
She is trying to help Rachel & Ray Charles find their forever castle. They are currently being fostered by Selina from One Eye On the Future. They has their own page on her blog so you can learn all about them.
And Dash kitten is trying to help Blue find a home and Jennifer find a place to live with her cats.
Many of you know Socks has been under the weather and has had to go to a specialty vet. If anyone would like to donate toward his vet bills you can donate via paypal our account is alasandra (@) cableone (dot) net For donations over $10 Mommy will do a graphic for you. Blog Header, Facebook Banner, special occasion badge whatever you would like. For those of you unfamiliar with Socks' mystery illness.
July 30th Socks was taken to the vet due to acting lethargic. At that time his popliteal lymph nodes and right inguinal lymph node were enlarged. He was started on Vitamin B12 and given a 14 day injectable antibiotic.
June 31st - Return to the vet large swelling in the area of the submandibular and salivary glands, which was NOT present on the 30th. The Left popliteal lymph node was larger then the day before. A blood panel was done and a biopsy was scheduled for first thing the following day. After the biopsy he was sent home with another antibiotic to take orally.
The biopsy came back with no diagnosis other then the cat is responding to some immune stimulation.
We were ecstatic that no cancer was found and Socks really seemed to be getting better. Then he got much worse.
August 19th - Socks' stopped eating the night before. Patient is weak pale muccus membranes, slight hypersalivation, Grade I/VI murmur on right side empty gastrointestinal tract, severely enlarged salivary glands, right popliteral lymph node is enlarged (possibly due to recent biopsy). Recommended he be taken to MedVet Medical & Cancer Centers for Pets in Mandeville, Louisianna for additional test.
Medvet did an abdominal ultrasound, IV catheter, IV fluids, blood transfusion, a bone marrow aspirate/biopsy, spleen biopsy, cbc, thoracic radiographs he is also hospitalized.
