Prayers for Gwendolyn

Thursday night (June 25th) I noticed Gwen acting funny. Something wasn't right she was trying to walk and fell over twice like a drunk person. Then she threw up. Throwing up is something of the norm around here with the cats so I didn't really think too much of it. However I was worried about her falling over twice and having a hard time walking. Then she walked up the stairs and I thought she is okay, but followed her and when I picked her up I couldn't believe how light she was. I looked at Tavo and said, "Something is wrong with Gwendolyn". Then I noticed something weird around her butt and a smelly odor. She was looking really sad; I thought I should take her to the ER vet right now. After talking with my sister, I decided to wait it out till the morning. I showed up at the vet 15 minutes before they opened and they were able to fit me in because they had a no show appointment. Yeah for Gwen! After seeing the doctor, we found out Gwen had an anal abscess. Last time I took her to the vet she weighed 10.2 and Friday morning she only weighed 6.9 pounds. Ofcourse by this time I'm feeling really bad, how could I not notice she had lost that much weight. They took blood work and find out she has hyperthyroid. She is now on antibiotic and also taking medication for the thyroid. Poor Gwen. I hope she is going to be okay and isn't in any pain. She goes back to see the doc in 3 weeks. She is getting old and I don't want to see her in any pain. She isn't acting herself at all and I'm hoping she starts feeling better soon. I'm praying for her and hoping she isn't in pain.
