Mitzi, I wish you could talk

[Medusa]

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.

Mitzi, glad to hear that you are a little perkier!!! Hope all your blood work is good!! Prayers to you and Mom, too!

WooHoo Mitzi getting better.. Keep taking your meds wittle baby.. Sending Good Vibes & Prayers..

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!

I'm glad that she's becoming perkier and I'll continue to keep her in my thoughts and prayers.

We'll just keep holding onto the thought that "all is well" for Mitzi.....

I'm rather curious. If your vet is giving her Lysine is he suspecting a kitty herpes then? That's what they usually give that medicine for.

Either way I'm glad to hear that the meds are working some and your kitty is feeling a bit better. Hopefully she'll be fully recovered very soon.

Hmm, no, the doc didn't mention Herpes, although I know that's what Lysine is usually prescribed for. She recommended it to help boost her immune system. Seeing as the little minx is now putting up a bit o a fuss when I try to give her syringed "stuff" I can tell she is getting better. Now I just wish she'd chase her tail or play with something, but I guess it's going to take time for her to get back to her playful self.

Big prayers please. Mitzi is declining so very quickly it's scary. She seemed to be better for a day and then last night she threw up a couple of times (right after giving her meds - I know she hates them) and had very loose and stinky stools. She's very reluctant to eat or drink although I did get her to take a little bit of each (specially cooked chicken works with her), but she's obviously feeling worse.

I woke up the morning to find her in "puss pod" position (meatloaf with paws and tail tucked in VERY tightly) on the pillow next to me - she NEVER sleeps on pillows. I'm wondering if she doesn't have some sort of obstruction somewhere from eating who knows what - maybe a piece of a toy?

She went and hid after my shower because she's figured out that's medication time - she's a smart one! I have an appointment to take her into the vet today @ 5:00. I'm just SO worried about my little one

Sending prayers your way - hope Mitzi gets better
