As many of you probally remember me posting about Tigger and how she was wheezing and coughing so badly that I really thought I was going to loose her, well here is an update.
She was not getting any better and I really don't like to give her the Predisone...being a steroid and all.
Well last Wednesday night was Smokey's turn to go to the vet for his annual visit of booster shots and check up. I got to see my favorite vet and he asked me how Smokey was and I said that he was starting to act the same as Tigger had been with the coughing, wheezing, and no meowing....which for Smokey is really strange because you would think someone was killing him with the way he cries all the time. The Dr. said he had seen that I brought Tigger in for an ER visit and he had reviewed her ultrasound and blood work so he was aware that I was having some issues.
The Dr. did his exam and you know what it turns out is wrong with Tigger, Smokey, now Abner and Mystic.......
A SORE THROAT!!!!!! Pharyngitis!!!!
A $600.00 vet bill for Tigger and simple Amoxycillin with Azium ($6.00 antibiotic) is all that was wrong!!!!
Visualize me kicking myself in my big ol butt!!!!! :rolleyes:
Don't get me wrong, I love all my babies but I really wish we would have figured out a sore throat before the blood work, ultra sound, ER visit!!!!!
Thanks again for all the prayers and positive thoughts that everyone sent for Tigger.....now let's hope I win the lottery to pay for that bill!!! :eek: :rolleyes: ;) ;)
