*UPDATE* Lilith back to see the whitecoats

[kittycats_delight]

Well guys my celebration for her recovery was premature. Lilith is far from well. She is back to the heavy breathing, not eating, not drinking, and no litter box use. She went back today to see the vet and was give another steriod shot and some more fluids. The vet said that it could be one of 2 things. Either respiratory or heart failure. Can someone tell me how a 18 month old cat enters heart failure? Hubby and I are devasted. I was given Clavamox for her and prednesone. She is to be on prednesone for 10 days and clavamox for 10 days. She goes back tomorrow for a chest x-ray. The vet did not want to stress her more than she already was so once the steroid shot and the antibiotic kicks in and settles her then it's x-ray time. I don't know what else to say. Hold my baby girl close and keep her in your thoughts and prayers. Let's hope this is something we can treat. I don't want to lose her she is too young and I love her soooo much. Thank you.

I am so sorry. It looks as if heart problems can arise early. I hope nevertheless that it is something the Clavamox and prednisone can cure.

Paws and fingers crossed for Lilith.

[Donnaj4962]

I am so sorry to hear of Lilith. I will say my prayers that she gets better soon. Poor little girl, and poor Meowmie also. I know it is stressful to have a sick furrbaby.

Fingers and paws crossed for good news soon.

[furrykidsmother]

Michelle, my heart just dropped reading this. Lets hope that it is nothing serious. She is way to young and much to loved to having anything like that happen. We hope that it is something easily treatable! Lots of good thoughts, prayers and hugs heading your way.

[sandragonfly]

oh no.. :( I'm sad to hear this! I know how muccch this heart cat means to you.

of course, she (and you all) definitely are already in my thoughts for good/better treatment & news next! (please god!)

I'm so sorry, this really sucks especially you're gonna move somewhere else this soon - crap.

well, I don't have sandpapered tongue but my cats do and there's plenty of them here! *meowing, sending sandpaperkisses right away!* where we hope lilith can hear us!! :D

and (((hugs))) - I'm squeezing you hard! (not too hard to make you into an ant!) ;) take care, michelle.

[sandragonfly]

and of course, have lilith come in here, tell us how she's doing. I pray so hard it will never result to a heart failure. I can't imagine for this, your little girl. :confused:

hugs again!

[Lobodeb]

I'm so sorry to hear this!

Please know that me, Sammy, Payton (and even Maggy) are saying prayers for Lilith.

Get better soon!

Prayers on the way for sweet Lilith

[petslover]

I am so sorry about Lilith. Prayers on the way.

[JenBKR]

Poor kitty! She is so young! *Hugs* my thoughts and prayers are with you and your precious Lilith

[kittycats_delight]

thanks sooo much everyone. Hubby is taking this very hard. Lilith is the first animal of any kind he has really had a bond with. I spent about 30 minutes earlier trying to comfort him. He cried so much it broke my heart. I do my crying alone. I had a little crying spell at the vet office when I was first told and now while I reading and typing this I am having another. I hope that steroid kicks in soon and gives her some comfort and calms her.

Thank you all again. I will update later with a progress report.

[Craftlady]

We will keep good thoughts and prayers here at our house.
Hopefully the medications will start working soon. It's so hard to see our fur babies sick. Only thing I could think of when your vet mentioned heart problems, is that maybe she had a defect since birth that is just now showing ifself?

[prechrswife]

I'm so sorry to hear this news...:(

[luvofallhorses]

Oh my gosh, Michelle. :( I can't even find the right words what to say. :( I am so so so so so sorry! :( This can't be happening to your little girl. :( (((((MICHELLE AND LILITH))))) I will hope and pray with all my heart that she is going to be well, she has to be. Come on Lilith please be strong. Please keep us updated on her health, Michelle.

[dab_20]

that is soooo sad!! Lilith is such a pretty baby!! you and lilith are in my prayers! ((((((HUGS))))))

GET BETTER LILITH!!

[dab_20]

i lit one.

[kittycats_delight]

Thank you so much. Lilith was just given her first clavamox. She wasn't impressed and was very stressed about it and still is. She doesn't like being pilled. We used a pill popper but she was still difficult to pill. She has been panting ever since we pilled her about 15 minutes ago. I just hope this stuff starts to work and make her feel better. Your thoughs and prayers are greatly appreciated and an extra thank you for those of you who lit candles for her and left a little prayer.



Amanda I will PM you if I can stay focused long enough to do so.

I just can't get my head around this. It's hard enough having to deal with her being ill and not knowing what to do for her or if there is anything we can do for her. I just want to know what exactly it is and start getting her treated. She doesn't deserve to suffer like this. I hate feeling so helpless and not being able to take away her all that makes her feel bad. Hubby is still having a very difficult time with this and it makes it that much harder to see him in so much distress over her. Please just find out what it wrong with her so we can make it better. Thank you all again for listening and caring.

Poor Lilith! Has she had an echo (Heart ultrasound?) We've had cats in our rescue with similar symptoms. I hope Lilith feels better.
