Now Gabe is sick! Much worse than Graemer!

[sasvermont]

I want to have him x-rayed for sure. I will take him in, in about 5 minutes to talk to the Vet and decide what to do. He is still scared etc. and I want him to be comfortable not like this.

I have asked the tech to ask the Vet to sedate him enough to xray him, then we shall decide. If he should not survive the sedation, then that is the way it is. I can't keep guessing what is wrong with him.

Wish us luck and love.

Last night was like a nightmare here. It was such a relief to NOT hear him cry after I gave him the amitriplyine (sp)....cream in his ear.

Now, how to get him to the Vet without upsetting him.

Gosh, thanks so much for being here for me when I need your support. It is just wonderful.

Love,
SAS

I'm heading into work now and we don't have an internet connection there so I won't be able to check in until much later. Hoping that the vet can help him! {{{hugs}}}

Sallyanne, I never commented yesterday as I was preoccupied with my own stuff with Murphy, and I knew that Graemer was better, so I was hoping that Gabe would be better too. Now I know differently. Every prayer we have is going up this morning while Gabe is at the vet's office, hoping that they can sedate him carefully and enough to get a view of what is going on in his beautiful chest. We will keep watching for a post from you on his condition. I'm so sorry that he is so sick.

SallyAnne,

What an excellent idea helping him relax. As an asthmatic (attack free for a few years now) I can tell you the panic of not be able to get air!

Gabe is all I can think about. Please get better!

Gabe you big wonderful fluffy kitty, don't panic. There are people around to help you and you will make it!!!!!!!
I still see you on your paws to meet Edwina, and like Sara I cannot think of anything else.

Strong prayers are being said for Sweet Gabe. I feel so bad
for him & for you right now. I never thought he was THIS sick.
I'm praying with all my might that the vet can heal him. Liz.

SAS,
I am filled with sadness and concern for Gabe and you. Prayers are coming your way.

[smokey the elder]

Oh, poor Gabe! Not being able to breathe causes panic which only makes it worse. Giving him the meds maybe took the edge off enough to break the cycle.

Hugz and good luck at the vet's. It's scary when they get sick all of a sudden.

Sallyanne, I didn't get to check back yesterday evening. I'm so upset to have heard how very ill Gabe is. I can only imagine how frightened and distressed you were last night. But I'm glad Gabe was able to have a little relaxation following the sedative. It's unbearable to see them suffering. I am hoping with all my might that the vet can diagnose him today and offer some hope. He found the most wonderful home with you and I pray that he will be able to enjoy his happy new life for many more years. Love and hugs to the dear Gabester and his loving Mommies Salllyanne and Robyn. Sandra, Mr. B and Oliver

Oh Sallyanne - to discover Gabe is so sick - what a shock. The poor furboy, who went through so much and is so happy with you and then ------this! It's not fair - I'm in tears. I'm just waiting to see what your report from the vet., is. I'm holding this sweet furboy - who's stolen all our hearts - in my thoughts and prayers - with {{{{{Hugs}}}} flying across the miles.

Come on Gabster - show 'em what you can do!

This is going to be a real heart breaker, but the Vet suggested that he would never recover from his heart disease and would suffer from fluid in his chest and a heart twice the size it should be. Gabe made it through the xrays and as soon as I get there to hold him, he will be put out of his misery. Poor baby. I just cannot stop crying. He will be buried next to Mandy girl, my last RB kitty, here in Vermont.

What a shock. What a shock.

[marysmerrycats]

I am in tears. Poor poor Gabe.
Hugs and love for you.

I'm just now reading this thread and I'm so sorry Sallyanne. I really don't know what to say because I'm in shock. Just remember that you did everything that you could do for him and that he's now in a better place and free of pain. He's now at Rainnbow Bridge playing with my Pepper. Rest in peace sweet Gabe. {{{HUGS}}}
