Ultrasound & FNAC results

* Again, This post is not for everyone. It's for my sickness records ( August 8, 2023 till Today ) . You guys don't need to read or comments because it's going to be very long long post. Most of stories already has been told in FB. * Comments are off *

Back to the past ...

Before mom and me know what caused fluids in my right lung buildup, All my results ( Bloodwork, X-ray, Fluids samples ) were unclear to tell what was caused. It was very serious because unclear results means a doctor was unable to give me treatments. It could be fatal because my fluids were building up every two days. They have to act quickly to find out.

A VET suspected :

1) FIP : feline infectious peritonitis

2) Heart disease

3) Cancer

4) Minor diseases

🐾 🐾 🐾 🐾

I did ECHO so it was clear I don't have heart disease.

Only FIP and Cancer is a main suspicious. But most of first results put more weight to FIP the most. With a big pictures. Nothing weighted for cancer. It was the less suspicious.

Once it was unclear, I had to do the second test. All was sent to feline pathology again, and I did more X-Ray. ( The second bloodwork and my third fluids aspiration's samples ) 

Then all second results + the forth fluids from lung ( Milky ) cleared up on July 30, 2023  I was diagnosed Chylothorax. New diet ( low-fat ) and my treatments started right away under hospital care. ( Note : I admit to hospital on July 27, 2023 )

Only one test I did not yet do is Ultrasound... 🐾 

Monday night : July 31, 2023 A specialist found a lump above my heart ( right lung ). Mom still thought it was nothing. A specialist advice to do FNAC Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology. Mom agreed. The sample was sent to feline pathology.

🐈‍⬛ 

I was back home on August 2, 2023. I looked good. Me and mom started the new normal. ( New Diet & Medicine + No treats. Mom has to monitor my breathing , weight, etc. )

I was doing good. Our positive was up.... 

Then August 4, 2023  The VET ( GP ) rang mom to tell mom my results from FNAC shows I have evil cancer. My mom tears was pouring. That day, I actually looked fine. Only thing my mom concerned was my mushy products.

At the front of an oncologist's room

August 6, 2023 Sunday afternoon, We went to see an oncologist to find out the detail and options of treatments. Before mom saw her. Mom already made up her mind " No operation & No Chemo for me " End up she told mom the results said  " WAS SUGGESTED ". It means " Only suspicious " The oncologist said it was not enough for her to have a conclusion 100 % I has cancer, and no way she can suggest me any cancer treatments "

Me and mom had big smile, We was creaming happily till an oncologists had to give mom a warning " But it doesn't mean he doesn't has cancer ! It's just couldn't be sure by FNA's results. To be 100% we has to see his tissue from his lung which he has to do operation which I am not going to send him to do that. He looks well no other signs to pin yet. " Mom didn't hear her anymore. We was quickly leave a room lol.

Mom asked the hospital to see my doctor to check fluids in my lung. She sent me to do X-ray to see do I have a fluids build-up ? Nop, its no fluids buil-up. It was a great news. Mom and doctor talked about my diet and my medication because my products become semi- liquid in that morning. My doctor stopped antibiotic ( Cafspan 100 mg ), and gave me Synbiotic D-C ) Mom thought she was on top of my symptoms but NOT.

No fluids built-up

A star on my right lung is an area FNAC was performed

After we back home. I ate and I ran straight to my litter. My missile exploded in a tray and spread to a wall. Mom looked at my new artwork then she turned and see my shitty butt and paw. She did wash and dried for me. She hope a new pill will make it better tomorrow to come.

🐾 🐾 🐾 🐾

Monday 7 of August, I still kept going with diarrhea. Mom was not worried just diarrhea but my body temperature was changed too often. According to cleaning after the missile explosion ( + my belly was shaved when I have to do ultrasound. Its easy to feel cold ). The end of Monday she took me to hospital for fast check up ( gum, blood pressure, sample of my poop and my body temperature ) A doctor had a quick chat with mom she put me back to antibiotic but a different one : Marbofloxcin 20 mg. and she reduce my steroid ( prednisolone 5 mg )

August 8, 2023 It was International kitty day. It was my unstable day. Good news my diarrhea stopped, Bad news, I didn't make any products all day long, only pee. My breathing is so fast in the morning. It's almost hit a level mom has to grab me and go to hospital. My face is shaking like the Indian way of shaking face ( means fluids in my lung might be build-up ). Mom weight me again to check. 7.2 kg is exactly the same as the early morning and yesterday. Phew ! it was okay.

We kitties sleep a lot, that's our normal way. Yesterday I was like a human who has a lots of coffee. No sleep for long hours ( During daylight ).

Mom tried to encourage me purrs to heal myself. I avoid her hand to touch my head. Mom thought I was possible in pain or feel dizzy because of pills. She gave me Matatabi powder ( AKA Silvervine powder ) I licked it all. After that I went to sleep.

In the afternoon my breathing was slowing down and back to normal rate at the end of a day. Mom did massage me. I did purrs so she know she got nothing too worried about. Purring is always a good sign.

🐾 🐾 🐾 🐾

Today August 9, 2023 I am good as new even I didn't make a product. My breathing is normal. I eat a lots and drink. I can ran away from medicine. ( I did have it + Omega 3 )

I will see my doctor again on Sunday for check-up.

All Good 🐾

💖 Thanks to you all. it's overwhelming by your love and care 💖

💖 Love you all 💖

A magic speed

Being sick, You just feel tired all the time.

At the end of a day mom know I got no energy left.

She just carried me to go upstair to feed me dinner.

I only eat wet food. I eat not much.

Seeing me eat treats after meal is one of mom's greatest joy

Following a dinner, 

there will be.... something

.. Something can make me.. ..

Mom turned her back with my pill and she couldn't see me.

Magic speed.... Poof !  Gone !

🐈‍⬛   🐾 🐾   🐾 🐾. 🐾 🐾

First smile  of a day I put on her face.

An incredible speed for a sicky kitty

😹

I need your purrs badly

A couple days ago I started to eat less even denied my treat, then she saw I breathed very fast. She did count my respiration rate while I slept. It was 35 per a minute. It was not okay ( Normal is 20 - 30 per a minute ). She knew something wrong...

Today mom took me to an animal hospital. I did blood test, The results was fine, but my X-ray showed a lots of fluid in a lung. A doctor sucked off most of liquids and he will send to a lab to find out what it could be...

Possible cancer... Possible FIP... Possible Tumors.. etc.

The results will be available on Saturday. 

Pretty please purrs for me

Note for mom : Amoxicillin + Clavulanate 250 mg ( 5 pills ) : 

twice a day : Half pill each time : After meal

Oh my nose Part 1 ( Warning : A Very Long Story )

In early of February 2023,  Me got a cold. My nose was leaking. Mom didn't want to tell you guys because she thought it was nothing. Then Sh*t happens. Big little nasty !

The first animal hospital we went. They gave us medications without details. No name of drugs ( to prevent furry patients go somewhere else better ) they just said one is for kill a bug, and the other is for stop runny nose.

3 days later it got worse. Me had more coughing & runny nose. Mom stoped all drugs and seek for Herbal Remedies instead. She found ' Breath Easy ' ( Brand : Bestlife4pets : Holistic Medicine for Cat Cold ). 

This good stuff works so well for me. very tiny pills, non gmo, no taste... I didn't even knew I ate it. Four days later... all running nose & cough was gone. 

😺😺😺

Then early of March ( Our Summer ), a quick drop to cold temperatures makes my precious nose leaking again. It's hard.. hard for me to believe it turns yellow.

Yeah right, 😿  ..we knew it's a sign of infection. No way mom can use 'Breath Easy' to help me. I need something to kill a bug.

Mom got me into one of the best animal hospital in Thailand ( March 9, 2023)

( Not the one in early of February : Mom doesn't trust them anymore )

We did not come here in the first place because

The waiting time is very long ( 4 hours + )

Because they have over 60 furry patients + a day ( Booked & Walk-in )

The doctor sent me to a special room to kill a bug,

then X-Ray to see my Kitty Upper respiratory system.

As you can see I have something in my nasal.

( Actually, Mom can't see it even she has a glasses on ..lol )

The last photo : Left of you, Right of mine

Near my heart... my doctor said it is not normal, but it is not yet dangerous.

Have to watch out. It could turn to be serious issues like asthma.

It's mom's job to keep an eye on me.

( Click here to see : normal feline X-Rays )

A VET gave me 2 Medications ( Both liquids )

1) Amoxicillin ( Brand : Cuvamox ) - a penicillin antibiotic

2) Cetirizine ( Brand : Quitex ) - antihistamine

😿 😿 😿

After took 2 Medications ( Both liquids ) for 3 days

Mom was shock ! Me was shock !!

My nose is bloody bleeding !!! 🙀🙀🙀 ( with mucus )

Back to my hospital again on March 14, 2023

( before my appointment )

Mom thinks nosebleed is a side effect from antihistamine.

Because this medication makes mucus super sticky ,

or my nasal very very dried till nosebleed.. ,

or my furry body is sensitive.

A doctor ( The 2nd doctor : It was not my 1st doctor's schedule on that day) does not think so

She said side effects only occur when a kitty first take a medicine,

my mom thinks side effects can happen at any time

so mom asked for change the medication for my runny nose (Cetirizine) to be something else.

Oh !!! ..mom, you are NOT a doctor, You are just a mom of Me !

The doctor gently, decline her request.

Obviously a doctor doesn't fall for mom lol 

A doctor sent me to a breathing box ( Antibiotics ), then took samples from my nose.

Make a new appointment to see her on Tuesday 21 March, 2023 for the results.

She did not recommend to stop medicines.

On the way home, I started to cough often....

At night time, I couldn't lying my head down to sleep. I could not breath.

Mom cried she got no ideas what to do. We both fall asleep next to each other.

Next morning,

I have a labour breathing. It looks like I couldn't breath. I tried my best to catch an air.

The thick mucus was blocked my nasal. I was struggling badly.

We were back to hospital instantly.

😿😿😿

March 15, 2023

I met the 3rd doctor, She looked into me. Listen to mom...blar...Blar..Blarr.rr..

She sent me to a lab to unblocked my nose with saline solution.

I felt better. I am able to breath even I still have runny nose and no blood !

The 3rd doctor changed a medication for my runny nose to be

Siflex ( INN: Carcocysteine / Liquid 100mg )

She said the drug will diluted sticky stuff in my nasal but not effective to stop nose leaking.

It should help me breathe easy...

Mom gave me Siflex 1.5 CC after my meal.

😿😿😿

March 16, 2023 At Home

I could not eat at all

.. Not even 1 kibble

'Puddy, are you seriously doing IF (Intermittent fasting) ? ' Mom asks

Me gave mom a look,

.. A look of sicky

Me know mom just doesn't want to give me negative vibes,

But it's not funny, I'm only 8.5 kg. ( 17.6 lb )

She have to give me mushy food by syringe so I can have my medication.

Sicky is tough ... Me feel so fatigue

2 days I could not eat. It's one of Sirex's side effect.

To make my nasal clear, I must take my medicine.

No eating by myself for 2 days

Pee tiny, No poop

😿

Third days, Mom stops giving me Sirex.

Because I look like no soul, no energy, not eating, drink little, tiny pee, no poop for 2 days.

The end of a day,

I eat my dried food & do some works in my litter tray.

Tiny small things that make my mom happy.

🐾🐾.      🐾🐾

Since that day, mom give me natural stuffs to cure me instead

She is very careful with the amount / frequently

I feel better. Now I can eat, drink, and go to my litter tray.

my nose is leaking a bit, sneezing a bit

I have some energy to run away from mom when she wants to clean my nose.

🐾🐾  🐾🐾    🐾🐾 🐾🐾

Tomorrow I will go to hospital again to see my results

Pretty please keep claws crossed & purrs for me

Lots of love 💕

Note : all my medications are human medication, Not kitty medicine.

I don't do medicine

Medicine is Nop ... NO....NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! for me !

Last night it was a drama in my house. After my pawrents were back from funeral. I ate and then... They tried to give me the medicine. It used to work long time ago but now... NO !

Like this ??

Or ... Like this ?

None of this methods work for Me..tee..heh

Because I shook my head, bit, and ran away.

They wrapped me with blanket, I can manage !

Liquid medicine ? I can made special effects ! Like... Making my saliva looks like white liquid foam pouring from my mouth. Shake my head left and right and then the foam went everywhere in every angels.  Mom has never seen this before. Mom thought I was going to die. She started to scream. And then dad had enough. I probably had only 1/3 of medicine. They still struggle to give me the medicine. If any of you have some tips or tricks. My pawrents will be very appreciate. Thank you

=^x^=
