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

Georgia, prayers from me and I will have my pile of oranges put their paws together too.

I know how worried you must be.

**emily_the_spoiled** · 02-07-2008, 10:48 AM

Having gone through something similar this past weekend, I can understand why you are scared.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and Mitzi right now.

**krazyaboutkatz** · 02-07-2008, 11:33 AM

Georgia, I'm sorry to hear that Mitzi has taken a turn for the worse.

Her loose stools may be from the antibiotics so she may need to try a different kind. She may have thrown up because her meds tasted yucky. I hope that the vet will be able to help her and that she'll start recovering and feel better soon. Lots more prayers and positive thoughts are being sent her way.

**nancys** · 02-07-2008, 01:37 PM

Sending prayers your way - hope Mitzi gets better

**Medusa** · 02-07-2008, 02:53 PM

Everyone is praying so much for my son and me. I will definitely take the time to pray for sweet Mitzi.

**Catlady711** · 02-07-2008, 03:17 PM

Sorry to hear she's not doing so good. I hope the vet can find something to help her feel better and get back to eating again. Please keep us updated.

We're back from the vet. The vet thinks Mitzi may have had a reaction to the Amoxicillin so we're stopping that. Her temp and weight were normal/the same. She gave her some fluids and a shot of Baytril. We're to stop the Amoxy and start the Baytril tomorrow. I'm also taking her off the vitamins for now until her stomach settles diown. We were sent home with samples of I/D to try and get her eating a bit more. I also made chicken breast and we shared. She seems a bit more comfortable tonight and was super head-bumpy when we got home. Keep those prayers coming.
