Katya
So this morning I came downstairs to head off to work and Katya was lying under the weight bench. I didn’t notice her at first, and I went into the kitchen to fill water bottles. On the way out, I noticed that she hadn’t moved and when I touched her, she didn’t respond. I picked her up and she was stiff, but made a little grunt. I knew she was dead, and that was just gas escaping when I moved her. I waved my hand in front of her face she didn’t respond; her eyes were half-open. As I was waving my hand one of her whiskers twitched, so I put her in the carrier and borrowed Carter’s car to take her to the MSU Small Animal Clinic. She made a few more little grunting sighs on the way, so I knew she was still alive but clearly struggling.
They determined that she was dehydrated, cold, and her blood sugar wasn’t high enough to read. They put her on a saline/dextrose IV under an electric blanket with an O2 hood while I arranged a line of credit for treatment. Right now they’re trying to stabilize her and see if they can diagnose anything. They’re pretty sure she’s in renal failure, but they don’t know if it’s the cause or a symptom, with everything else going on. They will update me with her condition, but they said that “no news is good news”, I suppose because anything that happens immediately will likely be a crash. So, I’m waiting here to see what they call back with. I got to see her before I left and she was conscious and moving, so she’s reacting to the treatment. Something similar happened with Boris about 8 years ago, shallow breathing, not moving, and they couldn’t figure out what it was. Three days and $1.4k later, he was acting fine and he’s still living with Daniel and Anne. So, I guess there’s no way to know how it’ll turn out quite yet.
Update 14:41
The doctor just got back to me, and it doesn’t look good. Her blood volume and pressure are still low despite the fluid therapy and her blood sugar levels are still low despite the sugar IV. X-rays showed stones in both kidneys, which are not the right sizes (one large and probably failed, one small and working overtime). Even after surgery, a cat that produces kidney stones will continue to do so, and this one on one functional kidney. She apparently has not become any more responsive, either. I will be heading over there shortly to discuss the situation and options with the doctor. Sorry I don’t have better news, but I suspect she might not be coming home 
Hope we’ll hear good news on Katya.
Don’t give up hope! Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help. Until then, I’ll continue to pray.
Oh noes!
Let me know if you need anything.
