Mocha Back from the Vets! *Update post #10*

As you all know, Mocha has been having a hard time with URI's. Since I got her, over 6 months ago, she has had a URI 3x's now. Poor Girl hasnt realy been healthy at all. So I decided to try a new vet, which we will be seeing tomarrow. I am hoping that we will have a better outcome, cause I feel so bad for my baby girl. I just would like to see her healthy!! My vet, as sweet as he is, is an old timer, and isnt quite up to speed on all the new meds and such. So wish us luck, that we can this girl Healthy and happy again.

Aww, poor Mocha!

Maybe the new vet will know a good med...and maybe a good vitamin to take to ward off colds! Is there kitty Vitamin C? :)

Well she taes Lysine, which does help alot, i would hate to see her wothout it! Not to mention her Eye drops.I sure hope they can find a good med to place her on. cause my old vet just kept giving her Amoxicillan, and well, it never realy worked. It would help some, then just come right back again.

Please feel better very soon, sweet Mocha! (smooch)

I hear you there about about different vets. My vet is very nice but she just isn't as up to date as other vets so I just use her for shots because she's cheaper but when there is a medical problem I go to a different vet.

Prayers going out for Mocha.....

We Are Fortunate In Two Ways.
We Have A Vet Whos Experience And Has His Won Clinic And Has Been Practicing For Over 30 Years.
And An Eager Vet Vet Whos Up To Date With The Most Modern Trends.
Good Luck And We Pray That Youth Will Win Out And That Our Dear Friend Mocha Will Be All Right And As Right As Rain Soon.

Many prayers form me and the girls in Indiana that the new vet can figure out the problem and get a permanent fix for both of you! Poor sweet Mocha!

I'm sorry to hear that Mocha is sick again.:( I hope that the new vet will be able to help her. I also switched to a new vet and she's great. Good luck.:)

What a Morning!
First off, mocha was a fabulous kitty, and everyone at the vets office wanted to keep her!:D
The vet examined her, and was very concerned about her having so many URI's, and not ever completely getting over them. So he wanted to run a FELV/FIV test. Cause he felt that there must be some underlying issue, causing her to be so sick. It was the Worst 45 minutes of my Life!!! Having to sit and wait for those results! Then we had a scare when she was taken back to get her blood drawn for the test. Mocha Bruised realy badly, where they drew her blood, even tho she sat stock still during the process. So this caused even more concern from the vet, cause this meant her blood wasnt clotting properly.
Thankfully she tested NEGATIVE!!! Woohoo!! But the doc is still concerned abouther clotting problem, the nurse had to keep pressure on her leg for about 15 minutes, to stop the bleeding, and bruising.
Mocha will be on Batril for the next 14 days, if her URI does not completely go away, the vet wants her to come back in for more blood tests. He still feels strongly that there is something else, causing her to be so sick, he just dosent know what it is yet!
Mocha has taken her first pill, like a good girl, and is laying down in front of the computer. Fingers crossed that the meds work, and she will be just fine.
The New Vet is realy great, very informative, and genuinely cares. A little more pricey, as this trip cost us $152, but if it works, it is well worth it!!

After Thursday, when the Fosters go back, we will put a hold on Fostering until mocha is 100% healthy, This was recommended by the vet, and I agree completely!

:( Awee wittle Mocha get better soon.. So sorry you have to go back to the Vets.. Update please.. Sending Bigg Huggss Prayerss

Thanks. Mocha appreciates it.

I hope everything will be okay with her. Prayers and positive thoughts that the med knocks the URI out once and for all.

I'm glad the tests came back negative. Now let's get to the bottom of the clotting business so that it's just a memory and everyone can be happy. :p Here's sending out lots of healing vibes and positive prayers that all will be well.

I'm glad the test came back negative. Hopefully she will heal just fine and no more problems or sickness for her.
