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 💖

Hello New Normal

So far , So gooooood  😺

A week has passed...  

The evil running nose is NOT coming back for real.

Only sneezing a few time a day... Nothing more.

It's my new normal. It's absolutely fine for me.

***

A Question from A Friend

Me and mom really love to share what kills my nose bug. But we did not know for sure. My mom couldn't pinpoint even she has records. What we can tell is.. my 2-week timeline before I get better. 

You guys might see something, we don't.

Two weeks ago...

Mom took me to see a VET because I stopped eating, drink less, no poo, less pee. I felt fatigue. I was struggling to breath. A doctor gave me three things:

1) Carborcycteine , a pill to made my mucus less sticky

2) Mirtazapine: Remeron to boost up my appetite ( Every 3 days )

3) Viyo recuperation fluid for a very sick kitties who couldn't eat by themselves.

She gave me those for 3 days then my nose started to bleeding, Mom stopped my pills.

The next day I was choked by food syringe and vomited all. Mom stopped Mirtazapine and recuperation fluid

💔 .... That day.... she didn't want to force me anymore

Mom began to ask and answer to herself ( yes, she is crazy pawson)

' When I was sick ... Did I really want to eat ? '

' No, I didn't feel like eating.'

' Do it really matter if I skip meals ? '

' It did not matter at all, actually I felt good because my guts works less. What I need is sleeping. ... Many times Puddy knows what it's best for himself...Great !.. Let's him be then. '

So she let me be ..

Eat when I feel like it. No more food syringe. No more forced ... I did eat few dried kibbles by myself after vomiting. I did drink. I did nap a lots. Mom still did brushing for me because I couldn't do it myself ( due to sticky nose )..., a massage, a gentle petting....then I slightly got better in a few days.

Breath Easy is a pill for kitties who has cold. It made from all natural ingredients. It used to get rid of my cold. Later on.. during my sickness, it seems my body has rejected all kind of cold medication even Lysine treats. All makes my nose bleed that's why mom haven't given me in a while.

When I slightly got better, mom's gut tells her..

'What da hell. .. His nose is bleeding anyway. Juts give him Breath Easy only for 3 days and let's see. It might stop his running nose. It used to work !  If not the rest can go in a bin '

My nose was still running ... Nothing changed.

The forth day of a pill, my nose was bleeding again as she expected ( A hypersensitivity reactions ). Then she gave me krill oil to reduce inflammation, and yogurt to fix my guts.

Next day she shared me coconut water. 

Everyday I only ate dried food/treats

A few days later the weather is extremely hot, mom used a damp clothes to wipe me ( make sure my body temperature is normal ( head, chin, body but belly ).

In some points my nose was bleeding a lots till my mom secretly cried and searched for an urn. Next day, a miracle happens before she is making a purchase. All my sickness is GONE ! POOF !

Till now, me and mom still not sure what to make of this.


From my daily records. My symptoms turns whose one of those days :
1) The Extreme Weather or Barometric pressure changes
2) The Lunar Cycle (worse on the day before moon's phase )
3) The Fourth Day of Medication


I always feel better when ..
1) mom is brushing my fur
2) mom is doing massage my head & my body
3) mom is wiping me with damp cloth (cool down my body temperature), especially the back area near my tail.
4) night time sleeping with humidifier. ( on a very hot day : mom will add ice )
5) long nap


Mom can tell my temperature is not normal by
1) the heat from my forehead /chest /tongue : Mom will wipe me with damp cloth ( not too much )
2) the color of my tongue ( deep red means too hot / no poop ) : I will drink a lots , mom will wipe my butt with damp cloth.


Mom often counts my breathing rate while I sleep ( normal is 15 -30 per a minute ) If it's a bit fast ( but still normal ) , She will know I try to grab air so she will check my nose making sure nothing blocked. If nothing blocked it might be AC or Not AC. or I feel stressful. She will brush my fur. Once I purrs, everything will be fine.


I'm not sure you find the answer but I really hope it might be useful in some point... Purrs

Stay healthy & Have a great weekend

Lots of love

One week has passed, and I'm still alive 

🐈‍⬛ 

❤️

Last time. I stopped drinking and eating by myself. Less pee and no poop for 5 days.

After three days syringe feeding and a drug. I was chocked. 

Yep, I chocked right after mom did syringe feeding and dropped a pill in my mouth. Like I'm going to die. I scared mom to death. She stopped my medication (Carbocisteine : Expetan )

Normal side effects : headache, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, gastric discomfort and bleeding

Rare side effects : wheezing, tightness in the chest or throat, trouble breathing or meowing and mouth, face, lips, tongue or throat start swelling.

 

Taking too much Carbocisteine is unlikely to harm ( from my records 3 days max.)

The forth day, she fed me recovery food from syringe, I barfed badly. 

Now no more syringe feeding. ( drug, food & water )

For mom, ' Kitty Barf ' is a good signal. It's detox. After that, I ate, and drink by myself. Not a normal level but it's a signal of hope. My weight slightly gain. Yesterday, it's 7.15 kg ( 15.76 lb ). I made my products for two days now ( few tiny little poop ). But my blocking noses still be a problem. But we have hope.

Me and mom is very appreciated all your kind words, good thought, purrs and prayers. Thanks to you all. We can't get back to you yet because mom and me are very exhausted. We will try our best to keep it up and stay with pawsitive vibes.

Lots of love  ❤️❤️

My mom's worst fear

( Image of Puddy, A week before he is getting worst )

Hello dear friends 🐈‍⬛

Me get to the point... to tell you all...

It's likely that my life will seep away... soon or not ?

Me and mom really don't know...

but my furry body starts to show many bad body signals.

🍂 

How it happens,

Last three weeks ago, My nose stopped bleeding. I was doing really well even I still have a leaking nose ( one nostril ) but I can eat, drink, make my products, clean myself, sharpen my claws and I have some energy to have my morning walk ( short patrol ).

From that point on, me and mom thought me can live .. like an old mancat for many years to come.

Then.. the weather turned bad .. a sudden and extreme change in temperature. It was really really hot for a couple days ( 38°C/ 100.4°F ) even we have AC.

After that my nasal discharge turns sticky...like really sticky. But this time, mom couldn't do anything to help me because its nasal cavity.

😿 

Not for long... 

My furry body denied everything. I stopped drinking, eating, peeing less and no more poop.

Mom took me to see a doctor ( his name is ' Bird ' ), Mom told him my history of a chronic cold. Showing him her daily notes about my symptoms. Asking for help desperately. 

" His discharge is very sticky.. any medication to ease?  "

" Anythings you can inject him to boost up his appetite or rehydrated ? "

🐾 🐾 

After we got home : mom just found out actually the VET can treat me by injecting the fluids under my loose skin but he didn't offer me at all. He knows I am dehydrated.

He gave me a medication to help my nasal discharge ' Carbocysteine 375 mg : Brand Flemmex )' , my booster  ( Mirtazapine 15 mg : Remeron ), and Viyo Recuperation ( the VET forgot to give mom at the end. Luckily, mom asked for it because this one is a game changer, it made me drink. )

Later, I slightly get better. I starts to drink by myself... not normal level but it's enough to make mom smile. I made my products after 5 days ( tiny little poop like made by a kitten ). I didn't eat by myself but mom can feed me by syringe.

We are looking forward with hope...

Today... my other nostril starts leaking. Now I have both . In the afternoon, I got bleeding nose. My mom starts to lose her hope. She starts to talk none sense to me...

' Puddy, I love you very very much. But if you are suffering, You can let's go. I only wish you peace and happiness. I understand if you must go, don't endure the pain. I will be very very sad but I will be okay. I love you my darling boy. and it's forever, remember that .. love you'

I didn't wait for mom to finish her sentence ...

My style... Puddy's style, I never coped with her being sooky la la. ( that's why mom always think I don't understand what she said ) I deal with a moment. I do my best. I walk to my glass. Mommy quickly follow me. ( She have to hold a glass for me, I need a special level to drink 

😹 MOL

I don't know what the future hold. I just want to thanks you all for being my friends for this long. Thanks for your supported even me was not making a regular visit.

Lots of love 💕

Hi, you 🐈‍⬛ 💕 .. How are ya ?

'A cat has nine lives ' 

.. me, Puddy is one of them 

🐈‍⬛

Me feel soooo good 💕 I am good as New Old ManCat. I haven't gone out in a long .. loooong time ( A month of chronic cold ). Me made myself stayed indoor. Mom didn't ask me to do but she was so glad that I did that. Simply, I just didn't go down stair. Mom actually surprised. She is soooper proud of me.

For me, it was not a best time to sneezes sneak around at all, wasn't it ? Cause kitty cold will go around in a domino effect. I don't do that to my next door kitties. Seriously, Me can't let them see me not handsome ( leaking nose ) 

Hello Summer 💕 Hello Sunshine 💕

A nice day like this.

Me, kitty has a big plan !

Sure, I do
