Now my Yodie Yodi has the virus. :-(

[Medusa]

I steamed Yodie this morning and that helped her somewhat. Right after that she ate an entire can of Fancy Feast. I was worried because she hadn't eaten in two days and I wasn't sure about the litterbox. But she still just lies around. She got it worse than the others. She actually gurgles when she breathes. I have saline solution that I squirt in her nose, if I can actually get it in there, that is. I usually get more on me than in her. Dr. Feeman said to keep giving her the antihistamine and as long as she's eating and peeing to not worry too much. Even if she doesn't eat as much he said not to be too concerned. When we're sick we don't eat much and it's no different w/cats. But the antihistamine has an appetite stimulant in it, so she's doing ok there. But poor little girl walks in slow motion. It's as though every bone in her body aches. And the breathing is so bad. I'm going to hate leaving her tomorrow but I have to work. Keep those prayers coming. My little Yodie Yodie needs 'em.

Could you leave her with the vet for one day...just so they can keep an eye on her? I hope this is not too far out of your way...just a thought...

I actually thought about leaving her but once I saw that she was peeing in the litterbox, I felt better. Poor little gurgly girl; it just hit her harder than the others. My office is approx. 30 min. from my house, so I'm going to go home and check on her, work be damned.

I meant to say in the last post that I thought about leaving her at the vet's . I'm tired and a little loopy. Just finished hanging window treatments and now Cgirl has started her yowling again. Looks like another sleepless night. Oh the joys of a multiple cat household.

I am so sorry about all this Mary. Yodie Yodie, as well as all the other furbabies, are in my thoughts.

I steamed Yodie first thing this morning under loud protest but I consider that a positive sign. First thing this morning she came bounding up the stairs, meowing the entire time, and she hasn't done that in days. After I steamed her, I gave her some more Fancy Feast and she ate quite a bit of it and I saw her pee in the litterbox, so I'm hoping this means she's on the mend. She's still sneezing and gurgling but I'm not as worried as I was yesterday. Now if Creamsicle will just come out of heat long enough for me to get her spayed, maybe we can get some sleep around here! She sang opera again all night. The rest of the Fur Posse looked at me as if to say "Do something w/her, will ya?"

Oh Medusa, my heart and prayers certainly go out to you! Sounds like some positive signs from Yodie and I hope it means she's on her way to recovery. It's so difficult to take care of things on little or no sleep, just don't let yourself get so run down that you find yourself sick. Many prayers coming your way!
