Now My Blaze Is Having Problems:Update 2/5/12

I can't wait until Tuesday for Alani to be seen. He's coughing more frequently and he didn't eat all of his dinner. I made an appt. for him tomorrow at 7:30am. I'm pretty sure that he has the same thing that Blaze has. I sure hope that none of my other cats will get this. Please keep the prayers and positive thoughts coming. Will this nightmare ever end.

Oh no! Many prayers that Alani will soon be better also and for all your kitties, that they don't get sick. {Hugs} to you. You must be so worried.

Prayers and healing energies for Alani and Blaze and all your kitties.

[Felicia's Mom]

All your kitties and you are in my prayers.

Poor Alani! I hope it's something very treatable, and something that those two brother cats keep to themselves.

Hugs!

What a nightmare. Well I had a 7:30am appt. and at about 6:40am the veterinary hospital called to tell me that the vet I had an appt. with had called in sick. The lady said that I could be seen as an urgent care case and since I had an appt. I wouldn't be charged any extra. I went in and I had to wait a while. I wasn't seen until a little after 8am.
Alani's temp was normal and his lungs sounded clear but he did sound a bit congested. He did have a coughing attack in front of the vet so she was able to see what I was trying to describe to her. She looked up Blaze's records to see how my regular vet had treated Blaze. Alani is now on an oral liquid antibotic,doxycycline, 2 times a day for 14 days. He was given a vitamin B12 shot to help his appetite and he'll also get 50ml of sub-q fluids every day for about 1 week. I have plenty of fluids and needles already. Alani's appetite is much better and Blaze is back to his normal goofy self. I decided to keep them both in the bathroom for a few days. I sure hope that Alani's cough will go away in a few days and that none of my other cats will get this. Thanks again everyone.

I'm hoping and praying that whatever-this-bug-is does not spread to the rest of your furbabies! I'm so happy that Blaze is on the mend and I hope that Alani is close behind him.

Whew, at least you got some answers, and we hope they both are feeling better with no further spread or complications!

[mrspunkysmom]

Hope they continue to improve. Hope you feel better too.
