I am sending tons of prayers for Pearl.. Add many *HUGS* for meowmie. I hope they can determine what is wrong with her, and she can get better really soon. Katie and kitties

Hi everyone. Thanks so much for all of the PT prayers. Once again they've worked wonders. Pearl's now home and is feeling much better. When they brought her out to me she was meowing very loudly as if to tell me all about her day. She also talked to me a little in the car. She was very hungry and ate all of her food and also drank some water.

As of 4:30pm her temp was back down to 102.8 which is almost normal so hopefully it's normal now. The doctor thinks that she has some kind of a bacterial infection so it shouldn't be contagious to my other cats. She had 2 antibiotic injections,some IV fluids,and it says vettestCBC/Chem12/Electrolyts whatever that is. I''m not sure if they did some bloodwork or not. She's also on cefa drops 2 times a day until they're gone. She has another appointment on Mon. morning at 9am for a recheck. Hopefully I'll know more then.

Storm hissed at her,I knew he would, Starr was very happy to see her and just sniffed her and licked her, Ziggy was also happy to see her and Sunny and Sky didn't seem to have any kind of reaction towards her. She has both of her front paws partially shaved and has been licking them. I think it's now safe to say that she's out of the woods. Thanks again for all of your concerns.

CBC stuff is human version of complete blood work up.
Glad she is feeling better and they figured out what was wrong.

I am so glad to hear the update!
I missed this thread so I always like the ones I come in late on with happy endings.
Does Eosinophilic ulcer sound familiar? Kylie has that. My vet told me it is an allergic reaction from flea bites.
