katz 2
katz has a fibrous mass in her abdomen the size of a golf ball. in people scale that would be like having a cantaloupe in your gut. apparently cats get stressed out when say they stay in strange houses with strange cats and dogs while their people go on vacation for a week. and they stop eating. which makes serious debilitating changes in elderly cats. like they grow big tumors. which affect their eating. a veritable death spiral. the way to arrest it is to get the cat re-hydrated and to eat. so katz got a shot of saline in the scruff. she looked kinda like a cat fur covered water bottle. she got some appetite stimulating pills. which worked great. but she also got can after can of friskies. which is, according to the vet, like mcdonald's for cats. which worked even better. i think she's gonna recover. whew.
