My poor little Rumor is sick. I just got back from the vet with her because she's been a little lethargic, having a little trouble climbing, she won't jump and she's had potty problems - it's constantly stuck in her fur around her rear. This has been going on for a few days but last night seemed worse.

She has a slight fever and her heart rate was extremely excelerated. After a very thorough exam the vet thinks it may be a hairball but with the fever he's not positive. He's put her on antibiotics and I have to give her hairball treatments twice a day for three days. If I don't see an improvement then or if she gets worse I need to call back and the next step will be tests and possibly x-rays.

Please say a prayer for her that it's nothing more than a hairball. She does have very thick long fur and the temps have been rising so maybe she's just shedding a lot. Guess I need to get her used to brushing more than once a week.
