Mona is at the RSPCA vet clinic under observation for the weekend. What felt to me like a possible tumour (hence the Arnold Schwarzenegger line) turned out to be her bladder, but becasue she's losing weight so rapidly and is generally Not Right, she still needs to be where she can be monitored more closely.

I am shamefully glad and relieved. Mona is with people who know veterinary medicine and can intervene if she gets sicker, and I don't have to try to feed her three times a day and despair when she doesn't eat. I couldn't even fathom how comparatively easy it was to give Calvin and Eloise their afternoon clean and feed with only two of them and both in good health. It's amazing.

I'm so glad it wasn't a tumour! I hope that it turns out to be nothing of great importance at all, and that she starts getting some weight back on.

You shouldn't be ashamed of being glad and relieved - you've done your part in the kitten-care chain with great dedication, and when you couldn't help her, you referred her on to someone who can. That's good and responsible care.

Also agreeing with this! You have been doing a fantastic job with the kittens, and they were lucky to be placed with someone as caring and responsible as you. I very much hope that the vet clinic can work out what's causing her to lose weight like this, and get her whatever treatment she needs for it.

It sounds like you did exactly the right thing. That's a great reason to feel glad and relieved. :0)

I hope she'll feel better soon!
