My cat is ill and I'm worried sick about him.

[devilgrrl]

That is why I'm in a snit today.

My apologies to EstimatedProphet and others that I got pissy with. I'm sorry, he's my baby.

[Haole Girl]

1. I didn't notice...

And I've been around here, off and on, all day.

What is wrong with your cat?

[devilgrrl]

2. He's got a cold and it isn't getting any better.

I've got a call into the vet, he has a appointment tomorrow.

:-(

[Haole Girl]

3. I hope he feels better soon!

:hug:

[devilgrrl]

6. Thank you.

That's very nice of you. :hug:

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

4. Good vibes coming his way

I know how it is to worry so over a beloved kitty. Hope he gets better soon.

[devilgrrl]

7. Thanks.

I really appreciate it. :hug:

[flvegan]

5. That "cold" is likely URI.

If so, your vet will script some antibiotics and he'll be good as new before long.

Yes, matter of fact, that is a baseless suggestion hinged on extremely little information about kitty.

[devilgrrl]

8. He's had a cold before...

I wonder how he catches them. ??????

Thank you for your thoughts.

[ronnykmarshall]

39. Glad your taking him

When we got the kittens Mimi had a cold then Charro got it. It takes time to get over. My vet gave us anti-biotics. That helped. But it just takes time.

Don't worry, momma! He'll be ok.

[HuskerDU]

9. Our cat Daisy is sick too. Anti-biotics haven't been able to

bring down her fever. Blood test results tomorrow.

Hope both kitties get better soon!

12. *Daisy love vibes*

get well, Daisy :hug:

[HuskerDU]

16. Thank you very much! Daisy thanks you too.

And thank you too devilgirl.

I'd do anything to get my lil baby feeling better.

[devilgrrl]

13. Thank you and I hope your baby feels better too.

:hug:

[stuntcat]

That's very sweet of you. :hug:

[swag]

11. Oh, no.

I'm sorry. I hope he gets better soon.

[devilgrrl]

[Parche]

17. I Feel Your Pain

See My post on the subject of Kitty Cats......

You are still the best

Hope he is ok............:hi:

[devilgrrl]

18. Do you have a link?

I can't find it. :-(

[Parche]

25. Post

It was one of last weeks posts.....:hi:

[Forkboy]

19. I suspect that one of mine is not long for this world anymore.

He's been acting very odd,not eating,not drinking,barely even moving,and when he does he staggers and seems off balance.He's been getting worse and worse,and I don't have the money to take him to a vet.

[Heidi]

20. If I were you, I'd telephone vets, even if you have to call dozens, until

you find one who will see and treat your boy. There are many, many vets who love animals so much that they're willing to take payments.

Love and light to you and your kitty, Forkboy. :hug:

[Forkboy]

21. I'll try that,thanks.

Though the payments will have to be super small because I have approximately $60 a month to work with.The last vet I talked to wanted money just to look at him,and my father just spent almost $500 on one of his cats.I can't come close to doing that.We used to have a great vet around here who would do things totally cheap if you were really broke,but the big vets drove him out of business.

Thanks for the advice.I'll give it a go and see if anyone can help.

[Heidi]

23. I'll light a white candle

for your boy. I understand exactly what you're going through. When CMW and I were first married, our Wiley and Excellent Boy Cat Named Ginger had a series of health catastrophies all in a row: an absess on his paw, inflamed gums and gum disease, colitis and his first incident crystals in his urinary tract. We were very, very fortunate to have a vet who only sent bills every two months and even then allowed us to make payments. :hug: :pals:

[Forkboy]

24. You're a good soul.

:hug:

[devilgrrl]

29. I'm sorry to hear that Forkboy...

how old is he?

Here's a :hug:

I know it's hard. :-(

[Forkboy]

32. He's about 10 or 11 now.

Actually,today he's showing more signs of life than he has in weeks,and he actually ate the spaghetti sauce I put down for him (his fave).He wasn't even touching that before.That's how I knew something was wrong in the first place. :)

Hopefully he's taking a turn for the better.Must be the good vibes you guys sent out. :hug:

[devilgrrl]

43. Glad your baby is feeling better!

Hope he continues in that direction. :-)

[SeattleGirl]

22. I'm so sorry your baby isn't feeling well.

:hug: :hug: :hug:

[devilgrrl]

28. Thank you SeattleGirl!

:-)

[EstimatedProphet]

26. Apology accepted

I understand. I admit too, my temper is shorter these days than it used to be. I'm sorry that I let things get out of control like I did.

I hope your cat will get better. It's hard to lose a pet, or have them sick.

:hug:

[devilgrrl]

27. Thank you!

And I promise never to do that to you again.

:hug:

[SoxFan]

30. Good vibes

From me, Brianna and Pippy Cat.

:hug:

[stuntcat]

31. updates

you should post something letting us know when he feels better.. which he will :pals:

[HuskerDU]

34. Our lil Daisy is doing MUCH better!

She has now been up and down the stairs and actually ATE for the first time in several days. (we'd been giving her pedialite through a siringe)

The Vet more or less ruled out the fatal diseases, and with her obvious improvement she should be back to normal sometime soon. Not out of the woods yet, but VERY hopeful for the first time in a while.

Hope Devilgrrl's cat is improving too!

[stuntcat]

35. okay eating is good!

Things happen so fast with their little bodies, it gets scary. But if she's seeming better now I bet she'll be 100% in no time :headbang:

[HuskerDU]

36. Your vibes meant a lot to our family. Thank you so much and

do not doubt that the vibes lifted my (frightened/worried) mood which could not have hurt lil Daisy's chances at getting better!

You rock!:headbang:

[stuntcat]

37. totally! :headbang:

:hug: their people's vibes do matter to them.. I think anyway!

[HuskerDU]

38. 'Believe it if you need it, or leave it if you dare.'

I believe it, and I needed it. And Daisy and I thank you for it!

[devilgrrl]

42. Glad to hear Daisy is doing better!

My brat is back to his bratty self. :-)

[jus_the_facts]

33. You have my sympathies....took my baby to the vet last week....

...still takin' his antibiotics for a urniary infection....good vibes for your little one. :hug:

[TheProphetess]

40. Good vibes for your baby kitty

I'm sorry to hear that he's sick. :grouphug:

[devilgrrl]

41. UPDATE: The cat is feeling better and seems to be back to his old annoying self.

He wasn't weezing or sneezing this morning, his eyes aren't watering and he demanded that I let him out at his customary time of 4:30 AM. :mad: He ate his chicken, then rolled around and purred loudly when I went to pet him as I was leaving for work. So, I cancelled his doctor appointment.

I hate when he freaks me out like that.

Here he is in action: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F71wXfu8gkY

[HuskerDU]

44. Whoo hooo!

Hey that is wonderful. Sounds like he is back to his old self.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

45. I'm sorry about your kitty...

I hope he's better soon! :hug::hug:

[devilgrrl]

46. Thank you! He's better.

My cat is in the hospital at the moment.. thankfully my parents decided to shell out the money to help him.
