Just stamp "SUCKER" on my forehead again! (UPDATE POST # 40)

[rg_girlca]

Well, I spoke with the vet and apparently Nino has had a fever since yesterday, so he is on antibiotics for that. They don't know what is causing it at the moment as he is not showing any signs of not being well. He still hasn't made a poo for them to analize but she said that could be the technicians fault by not reading the card as it is stipulated they need a stool sample. Apart from that he is eating & drinking well and upon another examination seems very healthy and in no pain. He will be staying another night for observation and will be having a blood test to check for Feline Aids/Leukemia. She also talked about FIP, but said she will put that on the back burner for now.
She also thanked me so much for stepping up and rescuing Nino as he is so loveable and beautiful.

May I have some prayers that everything turns out well for this gorgeous boy.
I would hate my efforts to turn sour on me.

katladyd, if you are serious about adopting another cat, I know a Siamese cat that is in rescue in the LA area who's owner recently died. I could give you more info on him if you'd like.


Lorraine, any new updates on Nino today from the vet's office?
I hope everything checks out ok on him and that he is healthy.
I still plan to try to contact that lady tomorrow if you think he is adoptable.
Thank you so much for all you have done for Nino.

Good news & Bad news...

The good news is that his blood tests for Feline Aids/Leukemia is NEGATIVE!!!! Also stool sample is, NEGATIVE!!! For any parasites or virus.

The bad news is that he is still running a fever with unknown cause.

I am going tonight to the vets because Willy is still having problems peeing even after 16 days on medication. The hubby found blood in the bathtub this morning and it could only be Willy as I noticed last night that he started going in and out of the litter box again. I know he's not blocked as he is able to pee out about a teaspoon, if that. I will find out more on Nino then.
Oh I hate to see my vet bill this time.....The past 3 months, I've paid out $300.00 between 3 of my cats and now Willy has to go back and God knows what it's going to cost me for Nino. Well, there goes my Income Tax refund. LOL!!!!!

More of an UPDATE in next post.

[rg_girlca]

Well this cat went from a Dr. Jekyl to a Mr. Hyde. He is NOT a happy camper at all. Everyone who had contact with him at the vet said what a loveable cat he is and so sweet natured, YEAH RIGHT!!!!!! He did nothing but hiss and growl last night and this morning at me. I couldn't even get near him without him looking like he was going to tear my throat out. I understand this poor guy is scared and I am willing to give him a few days to settle down, but he has medication that I have to give him and I don't know what I am going to do, if he won't let me. I sprayed some Feliway around the room in hopes to calm him down. So it's a wait and see situation with him. Well, well, well, my hubby just told me that the previous owner did tell him that Nino DOES NOT like other cats. Gee that would have been nice if he told me that.

On top of this my poor Willy is still not doing well. After being on medication, Baytril, 1/4 of a pill for 16 days for his bladder infection, it hasn't cleared up. I noticed Monday night that he was going in and out of his box again and in the morning there was drops of blood in the bathtub. Brought him to the vet and they took an x-ray to make sure he didn't have a stone in his bladder or crystals. Thankfully there was neither. Also she said that his kidneys and liver looked good. She couldn't take a proper urine test because there was too much blood in it. She said that if he doesn't get any better, then they will have to express the urine with a syringe where there are no germs. So he is back on medication for 20 days, Bioclav 125 mg., which is what he had the first time he got a bladder infection back in November. I'm praying it will work again.
I am so stressed out right now I could pull my hair out. First Mooky starting up with his sores again, Poppy's behavioral problem peeing around, mostly on my things, because of the foster kittens being here, Willy with his bladder infection and peeing around, poor baby can't help it though and now Nino. Oh Calgon, take me away.......

[Medusa]

Oh yeah, you're stressed alright and no wonder. You've got a lot going on there. I sure hope that the newbie settles down and lets you near him so that you can medicate him. It's probably just too much for him, too.

[Catty1]

{{{{hugs}}}}

You are being a TREMENDOUSLY WONDERFUL cat mom, and it is really really difficult right now.

Prayers that the meds will work for poor Willy, and that you have a separate room (yeah, I know) for Nino while he is getting used to his new place.

I know some ptrs would love to have him, and I hope there is a place where he can be an "only" cat. However - who knows how much the previous owner worked with Nino on this problem?

HUGS AND PRAYERS for you and all your furkids.

[jenluckenbach]

Can you cage Nino? He might actually feel "safer".

Sorry about Willie, too. Poor boy.

[rg_girlca]

Thanks guys. I just needed to vent a little.

Nino is not in contact with my guys, he is secluded in my room. Since I have French Doors, I even hung up some curtains so he couldn't see the cats, but he can sense them and does nothing but growl. So I took the curtains down, since he is going to growl anyway, in hopes that seeing them everyday, he will get use to it. I think being an only cat, would be better for him. At least he ate and drank some, but still hasn't used the litter box yet.
The foster kitties have free reign of the house now and of course Nugget has taken them under his wings. I'll have to make another thread about that when I feel up to it. I'm going to get another cup of tea, or maybe a nice sparkling glass of red wine.
