Orla, Coco & Bear Our beautiful Golden Black Shaded British Shorthairs. Coco is Mum is to Orla. We bought Orla first then adopted Coco

Meet our beautiful Golden Black Shaded British Shorthairs. Orla came to live with us in October 2016 at 3 1/2 months old and we loved her so much that in May 2017 we adopted her mother Coco. This page is for those who want to keep up with their antics :)

Orla got herself ready for her vet visit today! 🤣 

Some more good news though! 🤩 

Her ALT (liver enzymes) results are massively improved again. She started off with a reading off 753 (should be 0-100) were 549 last week and now at 234 💪 

Her Billirubin was 24 (should be 7 or less), dropped to 12 last week and is now 8! 🙌 

She has gained more weight and is now a chunky 3.4kg 🐷 she had dropped to 2.7kg. The heaviest I’ve ever seen her is 3.2kg (we have robotic litter trays which weigh her). No wonder though, she’s eating a full meal every hour and about to bankrupt me 😳 😂 

We’re just so pleased at the turn around in her and we caught it just in time. Thank God I asked them to do pre-anaesthetic bloods as I genuinely believe she’d have died during the procedure. We’ll deal with the dental stuff at a later date once she is back to full health 🏥 

We did discover she has a very rare congenital defect called a bi-lobed gallbladder. Although this does make her more susceptible to problems, with a lifetime low fat diet now she should hopefully fully recover 🤞 

She’s off the morphine now and to remain on the appetite stimulant for another two weeks, along with another two week course of antibiotics. Hopefully in a fortnight she’ll have normal blood results and be discharged 🙏🏻

A really positive update!!

Her scan is clear! No signs of any tumours/masses etc. Her liver looks normal.

There is indication of dilation of the bile ducts and her gallbladder is sludgey but it does look as if it’s working its way out. The dilation is just under the parameters that they’d consider for surgery.

Her liver ALT has gone from 744 down to just over 500, she’s gained 250g in less than a week and her bilirubin has returned pretty much to normal.

So the plan is to keep doing what we’re doing with her (antibiotics, appetite stimulant, herbal liver/gallbladder cleanse and painkillers) until next week where they’ll recheck her bloods again. Hopefully they’ll continue to improve.

Thanks for all the love sent, it worked! ###

Please keep my poor girl with her shaved floofy belly in your thoughts tomorrow, she’s going for an advanced scan of her gallbladder, pancreas and liver, also a liver FNA.
Praying for good news on her bloods and hoping it’s a good sign that she’s gained 400g since last week 🤞

Orla is quite literally stuck to my side these days, which is actually quite worrying. I’m hoping it’s just because she has a sore mouth, she’s going in for dental surgery on Friday, poor wee soul. Her teeth are a bit of a mess.
She’s such a toaty wee thing, all fur so looks bigger, just over 6lbs so hope she’s going to be ok with the anaesthetic etc 🤞

I just had Orla at the vet as she has ingrown dew claw. Absolute drama queen had her face squished up against the mesh howling the whole way there and back, she literally did not shut up from the minute I put her in the car 🤣

Nasty claw removed though. Poor wee thing wasn’t even limping, I noticed it by chance 😫

Long acting antibiotic jab and painkillers to make sure she’s ok, wee soul.
