Yoshimi update

[brdgt]

Just talked to the vet and Yoshimi has improved neurologically (but is still ataxic) and is off some of the meds. Her ultrasound showed an obstruction but an x-ray didn't reveal any blockages, but did show a shunt, so they have adjusted her meds for that. She is scheduled for the feeding tube insertion tomorrow morning and depending on how she recovers from that I may be able to take her home tomorrow night. I can give her the meds and food through the tube, so I can't wait to get her home.

Thanks to everyone that has offered support - emotional and practical - and shared their own stories - it all helps a lot.

So sorry to hear about poor Yoshimi - I hope she's back to her old self soon.

I'm so sorry to hear about Yoshimi! Sick pets are awful. I'm actually on the way to the emergency vet right now!

Glad to hear she is doing better - I hope you get to bring her home tomorrow! If there are vet visits that need to be made after Friday, I can help with transportation.

Good to hear that things are improving!

Reading about the diagnosis makes me think that cats are poorly designed, though.
