My little girl is at home after draining a lot of fluid from her lungs. She seems happy and alert and even played a bit, just a tad less active. Her breathing is stable, even though she still won't eat by herself so I've been syringe feeding her.
The test results have been a bit puzzling so far since her complete bloodwork, ultrasound, x-rays and echocardiogram post-lung tap don't show any major alterations. She doesn't even have a fever and her urea/creatinine is perfectly fine as well. The doctor's main concern was heart disease, but it looks like that's not the case. They also tested her lung fluid, which ruled out chylothorax, pyothorax, uremia and FIP (albeit not entirely). At the moment, it does seem like the most likely cause for her lung issue could be some type of cancer or early-stage FIP. We still need to wait for the CT scan results (which fortunately my mom offered to pay for) and hope for the best. Right now, I'm really trying to stay positive and book more jobs so I can give her the best care regardless of the outcome.
I'm overwhelmed and incredibly grateful for the outpouring of support, well wishes and donations we’ve received these past few days. We almost made it halfway through our goal (currently at 330/700) and I can't thank y'all enough for donating, sharing and asking about Zoe. It means the world to me; the past days have been incredibly difficult. Please continue to spread the word and send her good vibes if you can 💖
