My little Dandylion is having her surgery now...

...she is being spayed as we speak (or read) ;) Hope she is doing well..I'll call later today to see how she is doing. She has also had a little cough lately...maybe once or twice a week...so they think it might be mild asthma...but they are doing a heart worm test just to be sure...since sometimes coughing is associated with heart worms...see was a stray so i have no history on her...anyway, I'm sure she'll pull through her surgery today and she'll be home just in time for some snow! :)

Sweet Dandylion will be in my prayers today. Please let us know how it goes.

I didn't know that about the heart worm....I am going to ask the vet about that today...thank you!

We'll be thinking of her too and crosssing all our fingers and paws! ;)

Wow- lots of kitties getting spayed this week!

Hanna had a respiratory infection for a few months after I got her - it was tough to get rid of, and one of my other cats caught it too. I was thinking asthma after awhile too, but she finally got rid of it. It was sneezing and wheezing and I could hear stuff in her chest. She also had runny eyes - I hate giving cats eyedrops. My Abby has mild asthma, but she hasn't had any asthma attacks for a long time, so I don't have to give her medicines. Abby's attacks look like she's going to hork up a hairball - she crouches and starts with a low, long cough.

I think what you described your Abby's asthma attacks are similiar to Dandy's...i atually saw her coughing the other day and so i ran and got my digital camera (that takes movies also) and i recorded it, so when i took her to the vet...i could play it for him...b/c it would be kinda hard for me to describe... I was also thinking that maybe she caught some sort of a chest cold while she was wondering out in the cold weather...since she was a stray...so we'll see if it clears up...but either way, (unless, God forbid) its heart worms...the vet said he is not gonna treat it, b/c it is very mild...

Thanks everyone for your happy thoughts and "purrr-ayers" for my little Dandy...

Hope it goes well, and it should. The vet probably said no clay litter for ten days.

Nutmeg, Nakita and Dandylion -they'll all be fine! Paws and fingers crossed. :)

My little Dandy is recovering nicely from her surgery. She is still groggy. My vet keeps them over night, so I don't get to see her just yet...but anyway, she is doing well :) And she tested negative for heart worms (thank God)...so it looks like her cough is probably mild asthma...anyway, cant wait to see my little girl :)

Thanks for all of your nice thoughts :)

Robyn

Late again!!

Glad to hear little Dandy is doing well - holding her in my thoughts.

Amen! So glad it's not heart worms and that she's coming out of her surgery just fine.

Great news! Thanks for the update.

LOVE,

Christiansmommy-my name's Robyn,too,spelled the same way,which doesn't seem to happen often.Good luck to your kitty in surgery!

Horseluver...that is true, you usually dont run into too many Robyn's spelled with a y :)

I forgot to update about my little Dandy...she is doing well...slept for a good part of her first day home...and is pretty much back into the swing of things. I know tylenol is deadly for animals...but i just wish they made Kitty tylenol...incase she is having any pain...she seems fine, though...but im a mommy, so i just want my babies ( skin and furkids alike)...to be comfortable. :) ;)

Thanks to everyone for their well wished for my little Dandylion :)

Robyn

So pleased she's improving Robyn - please give little Dandy nose kisses and a cuddle from me please xxx
