Update

My dear kitty friends,

I just wanted to give a quick update because I have to run. I think Phoebe will want to tell you about her V. E. T. session a bit later tonight.

She had an ultrasound of her abdomen today (we just got home). It showed some un-homogenaity of her liver which goes along with her lab tests. Also some dilation of the gallbladder. Due to her history of inflammatory bowel disease, the Dr.'s best guess is that it is a gallbladder infection that is causing some back up to her liver. Most of the scenarios of a possible cause include an infection somewhere, so that is good news. She will start on antibiotics as well as some vitamins to help clean out the liver toxins and build back her blood. She's also going to try some special liver food.

Hopefully, she's start feeling better and perk up. The Dr. said he thinks the prognosis is good because her liver tests were not too terribly elevated.

Thank you so much everycat for your good wishes for Phoebe. She'll have a chance to tell you how she's doing herself soon.
