Eleanor is sick :(

[Craftlady]

We had to make a trip to ER vet. Just got back little while ago. Came in from working out in yard and Eleanor wasnt acting right and her ears felt hot.
Took her temp it was 103.2
No appetite late in late afternoon when I gave everyone a treat. That's not our Eleanor to not eat.
Off we went to ER Vet.
They did cbc and it showed she was trying to fight off an infection.
She got SQ Fluids via a shot and Clavamox to take 2x a day.

Eleanor is resting in our bedroom closet.

Poor Eleanor! Poor meowie!

Prayers on their way that she gets better quickly!

[krazyaboutkatz]

Poor Eleanor.:( I hope she feels better soon and recovers quickly. Lots of prayers and positive thoughts are being sent your way.

[lizbud]

I hope you feel better soon Eleanor.:)

[CalliesMom]

:( Feel better soon Eleanor. Did they find out exactly what infection? Did she get into something?

[Craftlady]

Poor baby came out of closet and upchucked foam :(
Called the ER Vets and they said to watch the next dose tomorrow if she does it again they may change it. Oh joy another 35-40 miles one way.

She didnt get into anything. Her kidneys were tender. Eleanor is being treated as if she had UTI.
Good news ...... Her ears are cool :)

[Shady]

Aww...poor Eleanor.

If she upchucked watch for diarrhea, it comes on fast if it's from the Clavamox.

Good thoughts and prayers coming from Toronto, for Eleanor!

6:00 a.m. update
Sunday
Eleanor spent the night under my computer desk.
I had to feed her some wet food (chicken/lamb) so that I could give her the antibotic. Hopefully, she ate enough food to not upset her tummy.
Her ears are cool which is a good thing.
I think she went potty last night. Her and Skinny were only ones not on our bed last night. :)
Process of elimination, no pune intended. LOL

[Barbara]

I hope thath Eleanor is already a little better. It's so worrying when they become sick. Best wishes for her on their way.

She did have diarrhea sometime early evening. It's pudding variety. I'm thinking it's antibotic but then she just starting eating again late afternoon. Could be combo. I'll watch it tomorrow.
Eleanor is acting more like herself tonight. :)
It's nice to see her racing to the food dish when I'm dispensing food :)

[krazyaboutkatz]

I'm sorry that she has diarrhea but I'm glad that she's starting to act more like her normal self. Please get well soon Eleanor.:)

6:00 a.m Monday Update
Her appetite is continues to do well ;)
We are playing let's have mom chase me around the house to take my medicine, gotta love a running work out up/down stairs at 5:40 a.m. :D

Update.. 12:20 p.m.
It's easy to tell when Eleanor goes #2 because she doesnt bury. Considering the amount, she should be feeling so much better. LOL :eek: No diarreha. :) The antibotic has adjusted to her system. :)

Yay! You go Eleanor!

I'm glad to hear she's doing well!

Keep it up Eleanor.

Have you used BeneBac after antibiotics before?
Puts the good bacteria back in their systems after the antibiotic kills everything. Helps with dire-rear.

Get well soon, baby.

No I havent.
Guess yogart would do the same thing?
She doesnt have diarreha anymore. It was just a one time deal now she is adjusted to antibotic.

[Donnaj4962]

I just read this thread... and I am glad that Eleanor id feeling better now. Keep getting better sweetie..... and although it is fun to have Meowmie chase you through the house, the medicine is for your own good. Now behave yourself! :D

[Craftlady]

Friday Update (9/9/05)
Eleanor is off the antibotic. After a full week the symptoms of being on it started to show more in the last 48 hrs. I got some yogart today and gave her some which seemed to help a little bit.
However, since it was the weekend coming up and I'm parinoid trying to avoid another trip to ER place, I called our vet late this afternoon and it was decided to stop the antibotic. She had been on it long enough.

We did some shopping at PetSmart tonight and got some liquid supplement with Cranberry/Papaya. So everyone is getting 1/4 tsp (normal is 4 tsp for each meal) but I dont think they need that much, a day. Cranberry is a good fighter against UTI. If a $6.99 bottle of supplement can keep us out of the ER vet's or our vet's unless it's a normal check up, it's worth it. :D

[Medusa]

Boy oh boy oh boy! You've had your share, eh? I'm glad that Eleanor is doing better, though. Maybe you both need some rest? Good thoughts and prayers going out......

Blessings,
Mary

The BeneBac is available at Petsmart.

It has targeted bacteria in specific proportions, I think it's better than giving them yougurt. Which has a lot of sugar, but if yougurt it is, then it should be plain unflavored (not even vanilla):(

[Craftlady]

I usually buy nonfat plain yogart. Vanilla flavor is ok to give them. Just not anything that has fruit in it. Eleanor loved the vanilla. I only give them 1/4 tsp at a time, 1x a day so I dont worry about too much sugar because it's so slight in that small of amount.
I've looked for that BeneBac and never found it at PetSmart. Finally asked a clerk last time we were there and it's not stocked at our PetSmart.
