Mitzi, I wish you could talk

[Catty1]

Prayers for Mitzi!

When the antibiotics are done - or even between doses - get either plain yogurt or an acidophilus-bifidis capsule down her to put back the good bacteria that the antibiotics destroy (ABs are very democratic when it comes to killing bacteria!)

If your vet can give you the dosage amount, you can get ones for humans at not too bad a rate. They are usually in gel caps, so you can open them and mix the powder into wet food.

Good luck - get well soon, Mitzi!

Oh poor Mitzi. I hope the blood work will show what is the matter, and she can get some kind of treatment to perk her up again.

Get better, Mitzi!

Prayers going out that nothing is seriously wrong w/Mitzi, that's she's just going through a "bad spell" as we humans occasionally do. Get well, Mitzi girl.....

Thanks, everyone. We'll get the bloodwork results back later today, however I think the antibiotics are helping. She's SO much perkier today - not quite playing yet, but she was meowing for me to get out of the shower this morning to give her treats, which is much more like her usual spunky self. I'm cautioiusly optimistic that it is a bug that needed something extra to kick it out of her system. We'll see.

Vet just called with the blood results which are unchanged from before. Still low white count, but everything else is normal. We're to continue with the amoxi-drops and add vitamins and Lysine to boost her immune system.

I hope it's just a bug. Both vets hinted that if it doesn't clear up, may be a sign of something going on in her bone marrow - I don't even want to go there!
