Sparkler's appetite is off

[Randi]

Now that you got her to the vets, I wonder why they didn't do any bloodwork, that might have showed what is going on.

Hop Sparkler gets better.

Thanks Randi. I think she didn't do the bloodwork now because this is most likely just a beginning URI. But (now after the fact, when it's too late) I think you're right, I should have had them take the blood today, because she is so hard to get ahold of, in case she doesn't show improvement and should come back for it. I feel bad about it now.

Don't feel bad. When our fur kids are sick we don't always think clearly. At least I don't. Prayers she feels better real soon. Prayers for you too.

Yay!!! That sounds about right, since didn't you say you're treating your other household kitty for a URI right now also? Hope the convenia is all she needs to kick start a speedy recovery

Thanks, MoFF, for the prayers and good wishes. We can sure use them about now!

And thanks, Jessika, for the comments and good wishes. Yes, my old girl Poppaea has a URI that she's getting Azithromycin and today a Depo-Med shot for. She and Sparkler are in the same room, I can't isolate them. The head vet, who treated Poppaea earlier today, thought it was likely that Sparkler picked that up from her.

I hope this fixes Sparkler up. I sure don't want to have to try and wrestle her back into a carrier on Monday. She'll really hate me then. I just hope she'll come out from inside the bedspring-box and have more to eat!

I'm glad that you were able to get her to your vet. Hopefully she'll start feeling better soon. I also hope that none of your other cats get sick. I know how hard it is to try to isolate cats when you have a multi-cat household. Lots of prayers and positive thoughts are being sent your way.

Thank you, Tracey. I really hope none of the others come down with this too.

Great news -- SPARKLER CAME OUT FROM UNDER THE BED AND ATE A WHOLE BOWL OF WET FOOD!!!!!

AND SHE LET ME PET HER AND SKRITCH HER AROUND THE EARS, AND SHE PURRED REALLY LOUD!!!!!!

I guess she has forgiven me for all the indignities I subjected her to earlier today. WHEW!!!
