Oh goodness, I'm sorry to hear about Sneakers. Optimism is a good thing so we'll stay w/that and pray that all will be well w/Sneakers and Tiger. Hang in there and know that the PT prayer squad is on it!

Prayers for you and Sneakers, that all this will pass and she feels fine quickly.

At least Tiger is cooperating! Hugs to you.

I really hope your Sneakers will be OK!!! Usually, when the pests people spray around a house, they recommended no human OR animal going in the area that was sprayed for 24-48 hours....Sounds like you did the right thing by getting her to the vet!!! PRAYERS and HUGS for you, too!!!

Thanks everybody for the posts and prayers. It's so helpful to be able to post a thread about one of my cats when I'm feeling scared. It's so great to get some feedback and of course, the amazing support!

The pest guy told us last fall when he sprayed inside and outside that we could all come back inside the house within a few hours. This time around he just sprayed the outside perimeter of the house and it had been 4 hours since the spray when she went out. I agree with you though, it should be at least 24 hours. I should not have let her out, that is for sure. She won't be going out for awhile, maybe a week or so.
We haven't yet taken her to the vet but got some good advice on the phone from her and if needed, we'll definitely take her in.

I syringed water into her every 20 minutes for a few hours last night and this morning she looked a bit better. I offered her a small amount of baby food that I had previously purchased for Tiger and she ate a bit of it so I think we're on the mend.

I'm looking forward to the future, when we've moved to a more affordable place, we're going to get everybody in for complete check ups and blood panels. I think Sneakers is a little bit fragile and I'd like to know more about how she is doing physically since 2004 when she almost died from the mystery illness.

Thanks again everybody.

So glad to hear things may be looking up! I was going to suggest the "pushing water" into her last night but didn't want to say anything that may have harmed her instead of helping. Glad to hear you did it on your own and it was the right thing to do

It's amazing how much you're willing to do for your animals, despite being in a tough situation yourself. I think there's a special place in heaven for you
