When am I ever goin to learn that mom is always right! 31 years old and I still haven't realized it. Mom suggested almost immediately that the first thing we should do is stop the Leukeran for two weeks and see if this helps. I hadn't heard back from Jill's onco about this new weight loss development, just her GP. Dr HoHo wrote to me this morning (that's her onco for those of you who aren't familiar) and said:

"We can do the ultrasound here or what I suggest is going off the Leukeran for two weeks first and see if her weight goes up. "

Mother is always right.

So lets all keep our fingers crossed he puts on some ounces in the next two weeks!

Jillys vet called today to check on her, just see how shes doing since its been one week of leukeran (I know, I am SO fortunate to have such a caring vet watching over her).  I told her it was really hard for me to tell if shes eating, but it didnt seem to me that she was eating very much, so she suggested I get some of this fancy feast that comes in gravy that cats really love (shes not the biggest fan of fancy feast, but she said whatever works, just do it).  Also, the urine culture came back - which was the original reason I brought her in last week, no sign of any bacteria.  So, not quite sure why theres red blood cells in her urine, but one thing I can tell you is that there have been no peeing incidents since shes been off the leukeran.

So, I got Jill a can of the fancy feast and the second I opened it her nose was goin a mile a minute!  She ran to the can and slurped up ever last bit of gravy in there, video below of her slurpin' away.  Problem was, she didnt touch the meat.  It's not really that weird, shes never liked soft food.  So, again, no idea if theres an eating problem here, but I'm just trying to fatten her up before next sunday's weigh in!!!!!!  And yes Rene and Karen, if my doctor told me I needed to gain weight, I'd SKIP out of his office!!!!
