Fiona followup
The vet just got back to me with the results of yesterday’s tests.
Her white blood count is elevated (indicating inflammation or an infection), and the radiologist says that the concerning bits on her lungs are just her asthma being especially bad right now.
So, we’re giving her a short course of Prednisone and hopefully that clears things up.
It’s unclear what caused the weight loss but given how enthusiastic she’s been about wet food and how meh she’s been about dry food, I think she’s just going to get a lot more wet food going forward. That’ll make it easier to give her the meds anyway.
The most important takeaway is that she is almost certainly not dying any time soon. Yay!
