After we took me in to re-dress my foot, we took Gypsy to the vet. She is listless, has a dilated left eye, and clearly is not the bundle of energy that defines her.
She has lost a pound and weights about 8 pounds. They suggested blood work and urine sample to find out what might be out of balance.
Today we got a phone call from the vet. Her blood levels are just fine. So it's not her liver, kidneys, or thyroid. The doctor suggested it may be a brain tumor and there's not much to do about it unless we want to get into mega $$$.
We will try steroid pills. It may shrink 'it' if it is a tumor. We will pop 1/4 of a pill every 12 hours for 3 days, then once a day till they are gone. Poor kitty.
Cats don't show pain, but we certainly don't want her to suffer. She's been active her 14 years with us. Poor kitty.
One of my alter idenities when I'm incognito.
