Now my Yodie Yodi has the virus. :-(

[Medusa]

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!

I just got home from work and Yodie came running to me, crying, poor thing. Her left eye was totally sealed shut and crusted over. I have another long day at work again tomorrow but if I don't see some major improvement w/Yodie, I'm going to take her in and see if there's a shot or something they can give her. After 4 or 5 days my other cats were over it. Poor Yodie is still gurgling and her cry is just pathetic. It makes me want to cry, too. I think I'm over emotional right now because I've been working so many hours on little sleep and I'm over tired. I'm going to take a hot bath and call it a night. I just hope Creamsicle keeps the opera singing to a minimum.

thank you, and yes, all is well. I'm glad to see you much more around in cat general!

aw, poor you. I too surely hope that means she is on mend and leaving recovery road.. I hope she's not in pain or hurt breathing? she is young, right?

I hope, with any justice in the world at all, you're getting a good night's sleep by now, with no(!) noisy interruptions. . .sending out good vibes quietly.

hang in there, medusa.

Yodie is on the mend, although her eye still crusts over, but she's breathing much better. But now Coco Puff is losing hair and I think he might have the follicle infection that Creamsicle had. I felt a little bump by his tail tonight as I was tucking everyone in. Tomorrow morning I'll check him over really good and, if so, he'll have to go on the antibiotic, too. As w/Creamsicle and Yodie, his immune system has been compromised. He's a cerebellar hypoplasia kitty that was outdoors until I brought him in a couple of years ago. To go to the vet again, I dunno, this is getting ridiculous. I'm sick again myself, sore throat, sinuses, chills, the whole bit, so I was going to stay home from work tomorrow. Getting a little run down, I think, from putting in so many hours at work. I sure don't want my beautiful meezer to lose hair, let alone itch so badly the way she did. I'll give him a bath tomorrow w/the medicated shampoo, too, and maybe that combined w/the antibiotic will put a stop to it and he might not need the shot like Creamsicle did. I hope. Good grief, when am I going to wake up from this nightmare? My poor fur posse has been so sick.
