(and I don't mean the weather, either)
I came home from a few errands and the healthy little boy Rain seems sick now. :( Vet appointment in 1 hour! (this is going to be the LONGEST 60 minutes in history.)
He is salivating and listless. No URI symptoms, no runny eyes or nose, no congestion, just a little boy who always was running and playing, now just laying saddly in a sunbeam, drooling and quivering.
I think I am shaking a little myself. :(
oh poor baby!!....... could he have eaten something??........ seindign good vibes and hoping it gets cleared out....... hang in there Rain!!
I wondered this also, but WHAT!?!?! I swear there is nothing he could have gotten into (poison-wise), a foreign body is possible I suppose (like a string, etc.). He looks so pitiful :(Quote:

Personally, I would not wait the hour but take him right away. Cant believe the vet's office would make you wait an hour considering his symptoms. Good luck, will keep good thoughts :)
Oh my goodness. I will be praying for sweet little Rain.
I´m not sure if this helps as I´m still reading through it...... but maybe you want to check it out
drooling
check other symptoms here
Oh no, Jen, not little Rain! :( :( That poor sweet little boy. There's major LES going on here right now. Please know that prayers are being prayed and will continue that whatever may be bothering Rain isn't serious and he'll be back to the active, curious, playful kitten your PT friends fell so easily in love with in no time.
When you get the chance, please let us know what your vet has to say?
Hey there Rain, Be a good boy for Meowmie and the whitecoat. They want to find out why you don't feel good and help make you better. Sending tons of love and good vibes your way.
You have got to be kidding...the same lively little guy that is double the size of his fragile little sister.
My God Jen I hope he is ok. I agree with craftlady though what was the vet thinking telling you an hour considering his symtoms. I would take him in now.
Please let us know how things go. We have all fingers, toes, whiskers and paws crossed her and are sending out tons of prayers and good vibes for little Rain from Italy.
(((HUGS)))

As Michelle said - everything is crossed that can be, and prayers quickly being sent to Pennsylvania.
OMG I am praying as ahrd as I can. I agree with the others, i would take him right now and make the vet see him or I would throw this biggest fuss ever! Please let us know
melissa
This is terrifying news!!!
We here are praying our hearts out for Rain!!! Please God, let little Rain be ok!!! PLEASE!!!!
We're rooting for both of you, jen! :( Pull through sweet little Rain! :(
O Jen!!! I hope it is not distemper!!!! MEGA prayers for the sweet little boy and you!!
Prayers are with you and Rain. Good luck Jen! Let us know soon.
Praying hard for little Rain. Poor little guy, how awful for both of you.
Oh my.... poor little guy! Many prayers from me and the girls in Indiana that the whote coats can find the problem and make him better. Please keep us posted.
I would take him in right away too Jen.
I have been at the Vets when this happened and everyone cooperated and let the Pet who was ill go through.
I know you dont feed any of the danger foods so it may be a string.
Pet Angels are there with Rain and hes in ALL OUR PRAYERS.
Rain what have you deen doing, did you get into something? Aw I hope the white coats can figure it out and have you "right as rain" real soon!
Prayers on the way for Rainkitty!
Rain, Rain - little baby, get better! Prayers!!!!!
HUGS to you Jen - I hope it is something simple....omg...
He is OK, thank you God!
Vet says it sounds like he went into hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). His symptoms would be right for that. And babies often need HELP eating, so even though food was available at all times, he might have just "forgotten" to eat and he went too long without calories.
The vet says they BOTH look good! :) And even though Maybelline is only 14 oz. (Rain is 19 ounces) she looks like she'll make it. Her big belly, (that had me worried) is just a normal kitten belly.
So I just need to make sure they get more FOOD (and less milk).
I guess I got panicky because of losing Spring. Sorry to worry you, but thanks for the prayers.
that is the best news ever! Thanks for letting us know
melissa
Whew! You must be flying high with all that good news! Such a welcome relief.
More food should be easy to do he he.
Thank you God is right. No need to apologize for anything with the symptoms you decribed I would have completed freaked out. I would need a doctor myself not just the kitty.
It is so great to hear that the vet thinks they will be both make it. Some promising and happy news at last. :)
Keep it up Rain and Maybelline you are little miracles you know and PT loves you both so.
((((HUGS)))))
Michelle
Thank Gawd he's all right. I guess kittens just get too busy exploring the big new world and forget to eat. I'm glad it was something simple; you'll just have to be like a real mom telling her kids to eat! Eat! Eat something! :D
Oh Jen - thank God he is okay!
I was just about to log out for the last time before Sir Jury, and this news is a perfect sign-off bit!
And...the kitty with the hernia in Health...is finally getting his surgery this afternoon.
I am happy!
EAT, Rain, EAT! :)
Glad to her Rain is going to be okay! Also happy to here the good news on Maybelline! She's such a tiny cutie! :D
Thats fantastic news that Rain is all right.
I remember whe we had Kittens my Mother would give them bits of ham and beef in gravy.
Little bits and they sure worked.
Our Prayers and Thoughts are with Rain and Maybeline.
I've been out all day so I'm just reading this. Very happy that the babies are doing well. Whew!
OMG Jen, my heart went in my mouth went I read this thread title. :eek:
THANK GOD IS RIGHT that your little boy is okay.
This is the first time I have ever heard of something like this happening. It's good to know though.
How happy I am to know that sweet little Maybelline is doing well also.
Thanks to you Jen. Fantastic job. :)
The vet also gave us some canned a/d. SHEESH! They sucked it up like they never saw food before! :rolleyes: I guess they like it. (LOL)
I can only imagine how relieved you must be with this news, Jen! We're all friends here with our kitties as our strong common bond, please don't ever feel as though you need to apologize to us especially when it's your kitties. We can't help you if you don't let us know what you need!
SOOOO Glad to hear that rain is doing MUCH better!!! Boy, them kittens sure do know how to spook a person!!
I'm so glad to hear that both Rain and Maybelline are doing well.:) Please give them both some hugs and kisses for me.:)
Jen!! This is excellent news!!! Hope they continue to vaccum the a/d!!!
Woohoo!!!!! Great news
Soooo glad that Rain is ok; what a relief for YOU and for us, too! Silly boy, how could you forget to eat? (this is from someone who has never missed a meal in her life! ;) )
Well, whatever they like, give them DOUBLE!! :D
I am so glad I didn't see this thread until the update. I am so relieved to ehar that BOTH got good marks at the vet. Keep up the good work!
