Dropped Phoebe off @ vets this morning spay, Apollo & Herk sick at home..

[Anikaca77]

Well now Annabelle my other 11 month old has the coughing and another one started sneezing....I'm going to just go nuts I think at this point. Actually I kinda feel like crying just due to other stresses right now but this will pass once the furbabies are feeling better.

Prayers and good wishes and warm healing energies are coming for all three of your dear kitties, Melissa.

The vet called and Phoebe is done but I can't get her till tomorrow at least I know she made it through just fine.

Herk has an appt. at my country vet...so I'm hoping she will do just fine for tonight to help him and Apollo will probably go along since I'm super worried about everyone getting whatever this is.

I'm glad to learn Phoebe has got through her operation nicely.

And I'm glad to hear you have an appointment for Herk, and I hope Apollo will be seen too.

Aw, sorry about this Melissa. This is why the URI is so often called the kitty cold. It is quite catching from one to another. See if you can get meds for all of them. Won't be easy dosing them, but the best way to get it all cleared out. With 4 of them now, they will just keep passing it back and forth.

I'm sorry to hear that now Annabelle is getting sick too. I would try to get enough meds for all of your cats. You do need to know how much they weigh though. I went through this when I only had 3 cats and they all got it. Unfortunately my RB Pepper weighed more than the vet thought so he didn't get enough of the meds and he got much worse before he finally got better. Lots more prayers and positive thoughts are being sent their way.

Also I'm glad to hear that Phoebe's spay went well. I sure hope that she won't end up getting sick now too.

Yep, URI's are the never ending illness, it seems, b/c they pass it all around. Such generosity we can do w/o, eh? I'm sorry that your kitties have the sickies, Melissa. We feel so bad for them but they do get better and back to their old selves. It just takes a little time. I'm also glad that Phoebe came through her spay just fine, as I knew she would. We do worry when we have to put them under, though, so I totally understand. Soon all of this will be but a memory.

Thank you all for the well wishes, Phoebe will be coming home soon but she will be away from everyone else just to make sure she doesn't catch this bug.

I had Herk and Apollo at the vets last night. Apollo was checked out first, she took his temperature at it was 102.2 which is good because we thought he was really sick. Anyway, she listened to him and made him cough which was rough for him and she said he could be brewing a cold but she thinks he may have the starting signs of asthma. She said that with him being diagnosed last month as bronchitis that it maybe from his lungs. So she gave him a 5 day course of antibotic just to make sure if he is catching anything it will be covered. She also gave him a steriod shot for his cough and said that it should last about 48 hours so we are watching to see if this will help his cough and if it does then we pretty much know he has asthma.

Now onto Herk, he had a temperature of 104.4, I couldn't believe it, I felt so horrible for not taking him sooner. The vet gave him some antibotic and by later in the night he was feeling a little better. He will be on that for the next 2 days. Last night they both got some can food and this morning as well. I also bought two more strips of clavamox incase the others get sick so I don't have to take them in.

If you all would continue the prays I'd appreciate it for them.

Thanks!

I'm glad to see Phoebe came through the spay fine. Good that you keep her separated from the others. I hope Annabelle, Herk and Apollo will feel better very soon!
