I'm Really Worried About Mama Kitty

**lizbud** · 03-30-2010, 11:35 AM

I made an appt for 3:45pm today. Now comes the hard part, getting
her to go in the carrier. I tried this morning, but no luck. She won't even
take a treat of her favorite. (Whiskas) I hate to stress her out even more
than she already is.

I have a can of tuna & I'm going to try my best
to lure her again with that.

I'm so sorry to hear that she's not feeling well.

I hope that the vet visit will go well and that it's nothing serious and can be easily treated. I'll keep her in my thoughts and prayers. Good luck with getting her into the cat carrier too.

I dread that with one of my cats. Any chance you have a large dog crate? One small enough to transport/carry, but big enough to get her in there easier?

A beach towel is helpful, too. Sorry, sorry, sorry...I know it won't be easy.

Oh Liz, I'm so sorry to hear that your Mama Kitty isn't feeling well.

I hope it's nothing serious and I hope you'll be able to get her into the box. Uhh, I know how difficult that can be.

The breathing problem doesn't sound good at all - could it be her lungs?

I'll send lots of good thoughts that the vet will be able to help and she can get back to normal.

((((hugs))))

Good luck, Liz. I hope you manage to catch Mama Kitty. I know how skittish they can be.

Mama is still here. I've not been able to grab her, only make her feel worse.
I tried 3 different times & finally, I just let her calm down & breath better.

I don't want her last look at me,to be afraid.

The Vets office was short staffed all day. When the Vet answers the
phone, you know they are short of people. Can't spare anyone to come
here. The E Vets 24/7 clinics, & I could take her in if I can get her there.

I am going back to check on Mama & we'll see how it goes.
Thanks for the prayers offered.

Liz, if you can't get her in the carrier, wrap her in a towel and hold her; have someone drive you to the vet. The vet may not like it, but there are emergencies! We took my RB kitty Jamara to the vet that way for all 18 years we had her. She WOULD NOT go into a carrier.

If you can manage that, call the vet, tell them you're on the way and the cat is not in a carrier. They'll make sure there's somewhere you can take her.

Good luck!
