When Miss Janet arrived at EPCT, she quickly asserted herself as the Queen Bee who accepts nothing less than purrrfection.
She came to us after 24+ hours of not eating, vomiting, and hiding. On exam, she was jaundiced (yellowing of the skin/eyes), painful, and very weak. Bloodwork confirmed she was critically ill and needed immediate, aggressive care and her mom (aka biggest fan) didnāt hesitate.
Janet spent the next several days with us receiving intensive treatment, including an esophagostomy (E-) tube to help her get the nutrition she needed to fight hepatic lipidosis, along with fluids, medications, and lots of TLC.
At first, she made it very clear⦠we were not mom š
But over time, our Queen warmed up, eventually even choosing to sit in our laps during her tube feedings (royal approval granted).
Weāre so happy to share that Janet is now thriving at home, gaining weight, eating on her own, and continuing her reign as the Queen Bee š
