Mystery is sick...

[Anakins mom]

Mystery spiked a temp on me last night. I am waiting for my vets office to open so I can get him in.
His only symptoms are the temp, lethargy and he is shaky and can not seem to support himself to stay up on his own for long. He ate and drank a little bit last night and passed his 'water' this morning. He is getting dehydrated and is refusing water this morning.

No other symptoms...Myst is and indoor cat and I have torn the house apart looking to see if he got into something. So far nada...I am a wreck and Karissa is in tears. Mystery is her 'baby'.

Karissa helped me nurse Mystery back to health. He was dropped by coyotes in our yard...he wasn't even 6 weeks old and the vet says it was a miracle he made it.

Any ideas? There is no respirtory distress and he doesn't want to be moved, but he tolerated me putting him in his bed so I can transport him. His abdomen doesn't seem to have any swelling and his gums looked normal.

I got about 120 beats in 30 seconds. Had a hard time taking his pulse as Indy and Asia got out and they wanted to lay with him.

Thanks for letting me vent my anxiety...I have a little over 10 minutes to go before the office phone is back on...this is the longest morning of my life.

Oh dear. I just wanted you to know that I will be praying that the vet can quickly figure out what is wrong with Mystery. It is so hard to see them sick and they can't tell you what is wrong!!

Please let us know what you find out.

I'm back...it seems Mystery has a mystery illness.

His temp was still 105 when we got to the vets. They gave him 2 subQ shots to help with the dehydration. They had to give him an enema as I had not seen him use his box to poop in at least 36 hours. He did use the box twice since the enema. So that was good.

They took blood for tests at the clinic, but his pressure was down and they couldn't get enough blood to send out for testing. His gums are ok...no swelling, no vomiting and no discharge or respirtory distress of any type.

I have to monitor his temp and pulse etc, as well as give him anti-biotics twice a day for the next 10 days.

So we are in a holding pattern...I hate the wait and see approach...but that is all we can do for now.

Thank you so much for the postive thoughts and prayers on behalf of our boy. I'll keep you all posted.

It sounds like an infection so the antibiotics would make sense. We hope strongly that it's like this and send our best thought to Mystery and you

[sasvermont]

So sorry to hear about your kitty. Did they do a chest x-ray?

Just curious, cause a chest x-ray would rule in/out so much. I learned the hard way.

Keep us posted.

Prayers coming your way.

I hope that the antibiotics help Mystic. If the vet can't take a blood sample, maybe they can do a urine sample right now. That will at least help rule out something like diabetes.

Our fingers and paws are crossed for you and hoping that Mystic gets better soon.
