Sophia Might Have Asthma *Vet Appt. Sat. or Next Week*

[Anikaca77]

Sophia has an appt at 6 p.m. tonight to get her cough checked out. All this time I was thinking it was a hairball that she couldn't cough up and she won't take the hairball meds either so I just thought she doesn't like to throw up and is refusing too. Well I went to John's house last Friday night to drop off Lucie Noel Lu for him to take to Donna in CT and we saw Lucky doing the same thing that Sophia does and John said that, it's actually a cough coming from their lungs. I never realized that. I feel like such a bad mom right now that I've been maybe possibly neglecting her but she's going in tonight to get checked out and see what's going on.

I adopted Sophia from Fondas Foundlings, she's a local cat rescue whom I've been helping out for several years with her Petfinder site and I've helped post ads up.

Here is a link on how I met Sophia and came to adopt her:

She came to my house last Nov. 08. She is a very sweet girl.

Now onto Osiris. Osiris came to live with us last year as well because the PSPCA couldn't take in any cats due to a virus that was going around their shelter and Shirley couldn't take in anymore so we offered to foster him so he wouldn't have to be stuck in a cage and well we fell in love with him and he's been here ever since.

The reason why he might need to go to the vets tonight as well because his one bottom tooth (I've been trying to check everyone's teeth from time to time) is crooked but it's always been that way since we had him and never seemed to bother him much but just this past week I noticed right in front of that tooth his gum is red. The other day I checked it and it was normal color. This morning I checked it and it was red again. I think may take him in to get that checked out and just to make sure it's nothing.

Prays would be great right now, especially since I owe my vet over $900 right now and my husband isn't working right now so we are really low on cash but we need to do what we have to for our animals regardless.

Thanks,
