Update: sorry for the long post.

Hi all this is long over due and I still struggling to find the words but here is an update on indigo, my baby.

We had her recheck Friday, the exam looked good and they did blood work which was mailed out for more in depth results. Saturday I got the call that she was improving on liver and kidney functions (thank God) but her gaulbladder was the same and more importantly her red and white blood counts were worse than when we started, possibly a secondary infection. We were to continue fluids, all meds and finish the antibiotics she was on calling vet immediately is she got worse or lethargic.

Saturday and Sunday she started eating on her own and requesting food. Monday yesterday I woke up to her standing on top of me, meowing and kneading me. She was following me around the house, coming to me when I called her name. She played with a spring and was acting almost back to normal ❤️

This morning Jay woke me up around 5am saying something was wrong with Indigo. This morning she lost all usage of her hind legs tail and back half of her body. She was paralyzed. I took her to the vet and they said is is a blood clot - a very bad one something called a saddle thrombosis. He said her heart doesn’t sound good and there is no pulse on the back half of her body. We talked at length about what the answer was and ultimately I knew I would never forgive myself if I didn’t try one last time because she is still very alert and energetic and she doesn’t seem to be suffering. So we are going to starts some new medications and they did a laser treatment on her today as well.

I have the knowledge that this may not work and the vet prepared me that I may have to make the call to euthanize as soon as this week. However I need to give her my all and give her one last effort to save my best friend.

If you know me you know I am not ok, not even close. I am a very big emotional mess ….I am just taking it one step at a time.
Hi friends, I feel horrible even asking for help however I don’t know where to turn. When I was pregnant with my son Wyatt my mother in law was fostering a cat that I thought was beyond beautiful! Somehow I was lucky and she fell in love with me. She would come running when she heard my voice and would follow me everywhere. I was told I couldn’t adopt her because I was pregnant but that quickly changed when the rescue noticed she was depressed if I wasn’t around. This cat came home and was given the name indigo. My first baby! For the last 8 years indigo was my world. She comes when I call her (only me) wakes me up every morning, gives me love bites and grooms my hair, she snuggles with me and follows me around that some days I go nuts from tripping over her. Indigo helps with my anxiety and makes me feel loved and I can’t imagine a world without her. today I found out that she has an infection and it has put her into kidney and liver failure. The vet thinks we can save her and help turn it around but I need help. I have a family and 2 kids and I don’t have the money to spend to get the treatment she needs. Please I’m begging all my friends and their friends please help me save her. Please !
