Drop by Pepper's Page to read all about this terrific feline. Pepper needs our help to get the treatment she needs, as her owner can't afford the cost.
One month after getting Pepper, she started getting sick only I thought it was hairballs...she does have long hair and very silky too. After she started vomiting foamy stuff I took her to not 1, but 2 vets. They did diagnose Cholangitis (inflammation of the bile ducts) She couldn't keep food down, she had a fever of 103 and she was lethargic. The main cause of this disease is bacterial. Recovery from and recovery of the liver can be possible but involved a long period of antibiotics, fluid and food tubes for cats who loose their appetite. Pepper has had to have these tests done so far. Blood tests (CBC, blood chemical analysis), radiographs, ultrasonography, fine-needle aspirate, and liver biopsy. She also suffered from Hepatic Lipidosis from not eating...but that can be reversed with feeding, hence the feeding tube in the neck.

I have posted Pepper on an announcement at CB but I am not sure how many kitties would be alerted to her condition since there were quite a few announcements on the day it came out. Luckily Diamond posted a longer announcement again. I hope some help is forthcoming. Pity Pepper hasn't got a blog like the Meezers and Churchill.
I wish Pepper had a blog too.
I do hope she is doing better. I visited her page and it didn't appear to be updated.
