Worried For Gable :( **UPDATE** CULTURE UPDATE

[K & L]

Thanks everyone! He must be worn out cause he's been on our bed sleeping since I brought him home. I can't help but wonder what is going on all of a sudden in our household lately.

Lisa - Have you given him the meds, or did the vet get him started?

I would guess he is tired out from the stress at the vet's - and if the meds are starting to work, maybe he is catching up on his rest.

I suspect you will find a happier and better boy in the morning.

The vets gave him a shot of antibiotics today, and then sent us home with liquid clavamox. I'm sure he was terribly stressed out since he went all over himself. Probably didn't get much sleep at all today.

He was so cute in the carrier. I was sticking my fingers through the openings and he was rubbing and purring. He couldn't get close enough to me. I sure hope this isn't anything too serious.

Oh no, Lisa! I sure hope it's nothing serious, and nothing contagious! Poor little guy must have been terrified and I can see how it would be major nap time now that he's home again.

Please keep us updated.

I'm so glad that he's now home and I too hope it's nothing serious or contagious. Please continue to keep us updated about him. Please get well soon Gable.

[K & L]

Thank you! I was worried maybe he had something lodged in his nose. He seems to be doing a little better this morning so maybe the shot is taking affect. He's still sneezing, but not as much. I will update when I hear from the vet.

Awww, poor widdle Gable. I am glad the white coat was able to get a good culture. Poor widdle guy must be miserable. He has been through so much! Hope he is getting better each day, and that he is good about taking his clavomax! Please keep us posted.

I hope the antibiotics are going to work their wonders on Gable, I hate to think of that handsome chap feeling rotten. Are you able to go home at lunch-time to check on him? How long does a culture take to show results?

I'm glad to hear he is doing a little better already.

No, live too far away. They said about a week for the culture to grow.

AWWWW poor widdle Gable. I'm glad you are feeling a bit better sweetie and pray that your tests all come back good.

Some kitties have delicate sinuis tissue and with a slight fever and irritation of a cold it dries and causes nose-bleeds just as it can in humans. While you wait for the culture and as you give the meds you might want to add some moisture to the atmosphere in your house. A cool vaporizer, heating a pot of water on the stove or even just having a water pot out to evaporate might help a little if this is part of the problem. I see you are from AZ so I'm guessing you are not heating your house much...however dry air can be hard on noses when the nose-owner has a cold....

hope you all feel better soon.

Thanks for the suggestion. The vet did suggest this very thing by secluding him to the bathroom and having some steam in there. Gable does seem a bit better and I haven't seen as much blood or sneezing.
