Cracker Jack needs prayers

I took him to the vet tonight, expecting a diagnosis of UTI. Instead, I might have a seriously sick kitty on my hands. :eek: :( :( The vet didn't know for sure, but...well, let me start at the beginning.

He doesn't have a UTI. What he has for sure is an infected canine tooth, thus the two spots he has scratched raw on the side of his face. The diarrhea is most likely a result of the Clavamox they gave him at the end of December. Sometimes antibiotics kill too many bacteria - including the good ones. I've already had this happen when I had a UTI. The next thing you know I have a yeast infection as a result of the antibiotics, this is similar to what the vet thinks is wrong with Cracker Jack. He took a "swab" and it was bloody, so he said that's probably why Jack is not peeing in the box - because it hurts - poor boy. :(

However, the protein in his urine was "off the scales" and that has the vet extremely concerned. He then took blood, which they are sending out and they will have the results tomorrow. If the protein in the blood is extremely high, things don't look good. I really don't know what he all said it could be, but I do know one of the things mentioned was FIP and also the Plasma Cell Carcinoma that Tubby had.

So, it could be nothing more than an infected tooth and not enough bacteria, but it could be something extremely serious. :(

Turns out CJ is extremely hard to pill, and he puts up quite the fuss with all the poking and prodding the vet did, so he is hiding under the bed right now, and will probably hate me for quite awhle considering I have to give him this paste stuff and a pill twice a day. :(

I guess I am just numb right now. This can't be happening to this sweet boy. :( So please pray that it's the "less serious" result. If I remember right, that result will mean just a few more pills and paste and having his infected canine removed. If it's the "more serious" result....I don't even want to think about it....:(

Cracker Jack, Debbie, Terry & Peanut, too -

Prayers, Hugs, Paws & Claws all crossed in hope for a speedy recovery....


Katie, LOUD Louie & The Beans

Oh Debbie, this just can't be bad. (((HUGS))!

I'm sending you and Cracker Jack every ounce of positive thoughts and energy I have that this is a simple issue of an infected tooth. You and CJ deserve a happy long time together and that is what it will be. Period!

The power of PT prayers have worked miracles and I'm counting on that to be the case once again.

Prayers, crossed paws and anything else I can think of are coming your way. I'll be checking frequently for updates.

Oh no! Prayers on the way for Cracker Jack, Debbie, Terry & Peanut.

Oh Debbie and CJ... things will be fine! We'll send prayers that its "merely" the infected tooth. He is just too special of a boy tobe seriously ill.


{{{{{HUGS}}}}} to you both

I will keep good thoughts and prayers.

Oh goodness Debbie:( I just hope and pray that this is nothing serious and CJ will be just fine.

Jeez, I don't come here often enough! I didn't even know you got a new kitty! I'll have to search the threads.

I hope that Cracker Jack will be ok. He'll be in my thoughts.

Fingers and paws crossed. Angel Tubby is pulling for you too!
