I'm with you, back to the vet I'd go! This isn't normal after a surgery so I would sure be aggressive about vet visits. I know Ziggy and Pearl are in good hands and you'll do what is necessary to get them well. I sure was hoping to read things were going much better. :(
Poor Ziggy. :( I hope the vets can get to the bottom of what's bothering her.
More prayers coming for Ziggy to get better soon.... and some additional ones for little Pearl as well. Hope everyone is soon feeling better and back to their normal selves. (((hugs))) to Meowmie also! PLease keep us posted!
Lots of good thoughts and prayers for yours girls coming your way. I hope today, sees them getting better, and you feeling better too.

Ziggy is still the same so I called the vet and I'm taking her there at 9:20am this morning. I sure hope that they'll be able to figure out what's wrong with her.:( When I was there on Sunday the vet mentioned that if she's not better that she may need some blood work done. I sure hope that she doesn't have any kind of underlying illness.:(
The good news is that she didn't thow up and didn't have any more diarrhea but she hasn't used her litterbox at all since Sunday or early Monday morning. Her little body must be using up all of what little food she's getting. :( I force fed her again but I really think that more of it is going on her than in her at this point. She's being such a good little girl though.
Pearl seems to be some what back to normal. I had to add a little wet food with her dry to get her to eat more of it but she still didn't finish it. She was howling for food like she usually does so this is a good sign.:) I think the heat has gotten to her so I'm sure she'll be fine.:)
Poor Starr has lost his little play buddy and has been sitting outside of Ziggy's cage like he's visiting a sick friend. I know he's confused and a little bit stressed over what's going on. I just want my furkids back to normal again and for this nightmare to end. Thanks for all of your concerns and please keep the prayers and positive thoughts coming. I'll try to update you when I can.
We send prayers.
Oh Tracey, I'm so sorry that you have so many worries right now with Ziggy and with Pearl. I hope both of those precious little ones will be better soon.
You will all be in my prayers.
Logan
sending more prayers while I wait for an update/
Prayers and hugs....poor wittle girl...I hope Pearl didn't catch what Ziggy has. Hope it is treatable and they are both better soon!
Tracey, still thinking about you with the hopes that we have good news today!
Prayers and Postive thoughts for your Little Ziggy Stardusts' Recovery.
I sure do hope your furr family gets back to normal soon!!!!
Just checking in to see if there are any more uppidates on little Ziggy and Pearl.
Glad to hear that pearl is somewhat better.... and hope that the vet visit will help with Ziggy.
More prayers coming your way!
Oh no poor little Ziggy! :( I sure hope they can find out what's wrong. Hopefully it's just a reaction to something or a minor cold or something she caught at the vet's office.
Come on little Ziggy! You have to get better, your big brother Starr misses you so bad!
Poor, poor baby! I imagine the stress of the surgery and being away from her home made her more susceptible to illness. Please baby Ziggy, drink your water and don't give mom a hard time with the medicine-- it's supposed to help you feel better!

I'm so sorry to hear that little Ziggy is not well. :( Poor little girl (and meowmie too) Hopefully we will get a good update here real soon.
Get better Ziggy....Starr wants to play!!
Oh Tracey, I am hoping for a good news update soon!!!! Get well, little Ziggy!!! ;)
Hi, Ziggy spent the day at the vets so they could monitor her and give her some sub-q fluids. Her temp was 104.4 this morning and had been 102.2 on Sunday so I'm so glad that I took her in. The vet said that she was very active and climbing her cage so I know she's starting to feel better.:) Her temp is also now normal which is fantastic news.:D
The vet decided to also deworm her just to be safe and she's also now on metronidazole 2 times a day until it's gone as well as the amoxicillin that she's already taking. She ate some dry food when I got home and drank a little bit and is so much more active now too.:) She's already messed up her cage by being so active so I know she's feeling so much better.:) She did go diarrhea in her litterbox:( but this could also be a side effect from the deworming and I hope that the meds will help this in time.
The vet said to let her eat as much as she wants and to try to let her eat on her own which I hope that she'll continue to do. Thanks again for all of your concerns and prayers.:) I sure hope that she's now on the road to recovery. I also think that Pearl's back to normal now too.:)
That is a good update. I'm so glad she and Pearl are feeling better. Good thing you took her in today.
Keep feeling better little Ziggy.
Oh YAY! I am so glad miss Ziggy is feeling better. And the diarrhea probably is a side effect of the dewormer. Mine had it too this morning.
Prayers will continue for your beautiful girl.
How is Pearl? Is she doing any better as well?
This is good to know. Thanks.:) Pearl seems to be much perkier but I still have to feed her some dinner so I'll see how she eats. Sometimes she's a very picky eater and it's cooled down a lot more tonight so hopefully this will also help.:) Now I need to go feed my furkids. Thanks again everyone.:)Quote:

Whewww I just got off the phone with Tracey and what a scare little Ziggy was giving us. I hope to keep reading continual progress on her! :) I knew she was in the best of hands! Thanks for taking such good care of her Tracey.
I am glad that she is on the road to feeling better.
and just FYI....amoxy can also cause diarrhea, and often does.
Thanks again for all of the prayers and positive thoughts.:) Ziggy is continuing to do well. She's eating her dry food on her own and drinking some water. Her appetite still isn't quite normal but I'm sure she'll back to her old self in a few days.:) She didn't throw up or have any more diarrhea and only peed a small amount in her litterbox so her little body must have needed most of the sub-q fluids. She's also much more active and has been playing with a mouse that I put in her cage with her. It's now day 5 so she still has 5 more days to go before she can have the e-collar removed permanently. I hope that she'll continue to be a good girl and that she won't have any more health problems. Thanks again.:)
That is such good news Tracey. I'm so glad these are good updates. Poor little Ziggy sure had all of us worried.
Thank heavens! I was really quite concerned about the little sweeties! I'm awfully glad to read this. :D
Woohoo! Good to hear that you are relieved and that baby Ziggy butt is doing well! :D
Aww poor little Ziggy. I'm glad to hear she's on the mend.
That's great news!!!! I hope Ziggy Stardust keeps feeling better and better !!!!
GREAT NEWS! I am so glad to hear that everyone is on the mend! WHEW!
What a huge relief for you and for little Ziggy! She's feeling better and so are you; that is a lot of stress when one of our furbabies aren't feeling well.
You did the right things. Give her some scritches from me and the boys.
WONDERFUL news, Tracey! Your little girl had me worried! Give her some extra lovies from me please!
Kim :)
Ziggy continues to do well. Thanks again for all of your concerns.:)
Oh Tracey, I'm so glad she's feeling better! Look out Starr, I think your little play buddy is back! :D
Oh, Tracey, I only just seen this and so wasn't able to add my prayers for little Ziggy. :( Glad to hear she is doing so much better now. :) {{hugs}}
Aww I am sooo happy that Ziggy is on the mend now!!
I have been away for a week and am so glad to hear Ziggy is better- what a scare that must have been.
I'm sorry that I didn't see this earlier. What a scare poor Ziggy gave to you!!!
But I'm happy to read that she is doing better!! What a relief!! :)
Kirsten
Thanks again everyone.:) She's feeling so well that she's ready to break out of her cage and just wants to play,play,play!!!:) I let her out for a little while today and all of her siblings were following her around and sniffing her. Storm still thinks that she stinks so he's hissed at her a few times.Tomorrow evening she'll be able to roam free without her e-collar and hopefully things will get back to normal. I'll try to take some new pictures of her next weekend.:)
That's great! One day to FREEDOM!!! :D
