Pearl Is Sick:Monday's Visit Updated 11-13-06

[krazyaboutkatz]

My little girl Pearl is sick and I have a vet appointment at 9:20am this morning. Both she and Ziggy went to the vet last Sat. because Pearl had an inflamed upper lip that looked white and pussy and baby Ziggy had stopped eating again.

Pearl received a coritcosteriod shot that will last for a month because the docotor said it was some kind of a skin disorder and she may break out like this throughout her life. I forgot what he called it though. She started sneezing a little bit on Wed. but was still acting normally. She ate well last night but later wanted to just be by herself back in my room on my bed which isn't like her. This morning she won't eat and she's very lethargic and only wants to sleep. She's also still having some sneezing attacks.

Do you think that she picked up something while being at the vet? She's up to date on all of her shots. Do you think it's a reaction to the steriod shot? I guess I'll find out soon. I just hope that whatever she has isn't contagious to my other cats. Baby Ziggy was on appetite stimulant pills and is still on some liquid antibiotics through today but is doing very well now.

Please keep Pearl in your thoughts. Thanks.

Oh no, little Pearl! What happens to you?
I really have no advice, I hope it's not something she caught at the Vet

Keep us posted!

Sounds like an allergic reaction to me (of course, the vet will tell you for sure). That's just how my Kacey reacted to some antibiotics--sneezy and lethargic.

I hope Pearl feels better very soon.

Hugs and prayers for Pearl to feel better soon...and for little Ziggy to keep eating!

Hi, I'm back from the vet but I have to go back to work so here's the update. Pearl's temperature is 106 which is very high so she has to spend the day at the vets. They're going to be taking some blood from her and giving her sub-q fluids and antibiotics. Hopefully they can bring her temperature down. If all goes well I can pick her up tonight. If not she may need to stay with them over night. The vet isn't sure what's causing this yet. I just hope that none of my other cats will become sick. Ziggy is still eating well and has been off of the appetite stimulant pills since Wed. so hopefully she'll continue to eat well. Pearl needs lots of PT prayers right now. Thanks.

Gosh, poor precious Pearl! I certainly hope the vet can figure out what's causing this high fever. Prayers on the way for a quick recovery, and also prayers that your other kitties don't get sick!

**hugs**

Pearl is in my prayers. Get well soon Pearl.

[Prairie Purrs]

Oh, poor baby! I hope the vet gets that nasty fever down quickly and figures out what caused it. Get better soon, Pearl!

[RedHedd]

Oh no! Poor Pearl! Prayers going out your way that her temp breaks and she comes home tonight and recovers quickly from whatever it is.

[Don Juan's mom]

Pearl, this is your Aunt Liz: Get well soon! Let the whitecoat take care of you and don't make a fuss about your medicine.
