I am so sad right now. As it turns out, my beloved Izzy has some kidney problems. It's serious enough that the vet wants me to come into the office to talk versus talking on the phone. The cost is also really high; the cost was around $2000 when I went on Saturday. Money is a bit tight right now with our wedding and gifts for other weddings, which causes some extra anxiety. I'm so worried about her. I just want my cuddle bug back.
UPDATE: She is at home now but has some major kidney problems. One kidney is really small and atrophied; it could have been a congenital defect. The other kidney is super huge and overcompensating for the messed up one. But the good kidney is also starting to fail. So she stayed at the vet's office all weekend, got various kinds of tests and hydrated with IV fluids. We have another appointment on Monday to do an ultrasound and check her kidney levels again. We want to get down to the bottom of this. What caused her kidney failure? Is it cancer? Depending on what the outcome of the ultrasound, she may also need a biopsy. Isn't this just NUTS? My poor kitty. She is too young and sweet to be going through all this.
When we went to into the office this morning, we talked to the doctor first, then we were able to see her. My darling Izzy sat right up, nuzzled me, and was purring as soon as I picked her up and held her. The staff also mentioned how sweet she is. I wish I was at home with her now instead of at work. Izzy will be getting a lot of attention the next few days. Maya will probably get jealous since she's been getting all the love while Izzy's been away!
